Title: MM's for a lp?
Post by: snipesace on April 30, 2006, 06:45:25 PM: alright alright, so I know, this has been discussed plenty of times I am sure, but I want a good clean answer before I invest my money. I have a 2002 LP standard, bustbucker pro's just arent doing it for me, I have been looking at a set of miracle man pickups but here is my question. would that be too bassy? I enjoy sabbath and ozzy of all time periods, the clips of the miracle man pickups of the ozzy tribute band sounded great, and I assume he has miracle mans in a les paul. I play all kinds of classic rock, to more modern stuff, with 80's in the middle, my amp is a boogie dual rec, would the mm's be the right direction, or am I going the wrong way?

For your styles of music, you might want to take a look at the Cold Sweat as well.

I would agree with this; the Cold Sweat has an openness in the upper midrange that is really great if you want to add a nice growl to your tone.
