Title: What bridge pickup can nail this sound?
Post by: Studiostriver on October 10, 2013, 12:40:59 PM

Hello to all.This is by the way one of the best rhythm guitar sounds I`ve heard in my life.I need your opinions.
I wanna ask you what pickup could achieve this type of sound?It`s not gainish,rather warm but with plenty of pick attack and fairly tight.

LOL.  I can never listen to Therion without remembering when they were a full-on death metal band with the Sunlight sound and everything.  Man I loved '... Into Darkness' with its cheesy ghoul cover back in the day ... wish I never sold that now, as the reissue cover is very boring and 'mature'

the rebel yell seems middier and fuller than that
and the cold sweat is definitely bassier and more focused
my guess would be the emerald

I agree with Eric here, the Emerald could do this very well. Best thing still would be to shot the guys at BKP a mail.

Here's a heavy soundclip Nolly did with the pickup:

The Holydiver would be great at capturing that tone! Check out the sound clips here - https://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/main/pickups.php?cat=humbuckers&sub=contemporary&pickup=holydiver

Emerald clip really sound close. :) I like it very much. Holy Diver sounds middier but again nice..What would better fit between these two to 7 string mahogany/maple guitar by your opinion(s)?

For a seven string I would choose the Emerald. The Holydiver is a great lead pickup (I own one) but sometimes it feels a bit lacking in the metal rhythm territory. I play it in E-Standard so for lower tunings, especially a seven string I'd go with the Emerald for it's tightness, clarity and punch it's said to deliver :)
