Title: What pickup?
Post by: alexi on March 26, 2006, 07:55:31 PM

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I know there's a ton of these questions here already, but I've searched the forum, and I can't find the right answers to my question. But anyways, here goes:
Tomorrow I'll buy a new bridge pickup, and i can't decide on which one. I'm stuck between the MM or the NB. I play mostly metal like Slayer, Children Of Bodom, Pantera, Opeth and so on, but I also would like it to have a good clean sound, since I've only got one guitar at the moment (it's a Jackson DK10FS thingy) so that I'm able to play Pink Floyd, and i think I'm going to musicschool next year, so versatility is the keyword here. Also, my guitar has the regular H-H, 3-way-switching configuration, and i intend to keep it that way. Should I buy the 4-cunductor or the braided 2-conductor version? Thanks in advance for all the answers

hello, i'd say get the four conductor cable, the pickup can be installed as normal but it means you have the option to add coil tap or series/parallel at a later date if you want.  it does no harm to leave your options open.
oh, and welcome to the forum

so me and my dad ordered it yesterday (he paid for it, birthday present :D ). But does anyone know how long it's gonna take before it arrives here in Norway? I'm so excited, and the waiting time is just killing me :lol:
