Title: Nailbomb+Marshall DSL
Post by: downrodeo on April 13, 2006, 08:05:04 PM

Everyone knows that Marshall are fairly middy (lots of midrange)  sounding amps. Well, I have a Marshall and I'm really liking the Nailbomb for replacement pickups in my Shecter C-1 Classic. The thing that's worrying me though is that Nailbombs have a reputation for having a lot of midrange. Now, my guitar is fairly bassy and dark (neck thru, string thru mahogany will do that) and my Marshall's pretty middy as to be expected, so should I worry about putting Nailbombs into my guitar??? Thanks, guys for your knowledge and advice.

Good thread, lol... :lol:

If you find the sound too dark, you can replace all your pots with 1 Meg or no-load pots, they will increase power and brightness.

I can't see it being a problem, the highs are good on a nailbomb and teh mids should just bring out the tone of the guitar more.
