Title: what neck pairs with MM well ?
Post by: mongey on January 22, 2014, 08:08:27 PM

so in my Mayones setius , Mahog /maple body, mahog maple neck , I recently put in a couple BKPs I had spare. MM bridge and nailbomb neck

The MM sounds great . really like it in this guitar after not liking it in 2 others but I'm finding the NB neck not working as well as I like. its sounds good but I don't think its working as a pair . and its a little  muddy/boomy  in this guitar .just a touch

what are the options to pair with a MM bridge other  than MM neck which I am open to ? The neck is mainly  for nice cleans with delay .perfect circleish kinda clean parts . is the MM neck good for cleans ? it reads like more of a neck shredder to me

I actually  did like the tone of the stock jazz in the neck but keeping it wasnt an option astetically . stockers had gold covers and the MM black covers .so something in the jazz ballpark would be good and I hear that working with the MM tonally

People use the Cold Sweat neck with the MM.

I have a CS set and the neck pickup has very nice cleans.

I totally agree with that statement, I have CS neck too (paired with C Bomb). CS has really great cleans indeed. It`s crisp, defined, very 'musical', bright with cleans and superb with leads as well. Amazing pickup

As all my collegues said the CS is pretty cool here. Warm, smooth, musical, good cleans and an extremly good shredder. Pairs well with the MM in terms of character.
