i plan to get a nailbomb bridge pickup but i want to if i should also get one in the neck or if there is a better pickup to put with a nailbomb?
-
well it really depends on
a) what kind of sounds you want
b) what guitar you'll be putting the pickup in...
-
Couldn't agree more.
For a balanced set then yes, the Nailbomb neck makes a lot of sense but if you have a specific use for your neck p/up that demands a different set of criteria than your bridge then something else may be suitable ie, Coldsweat for shred, Stormy Monday for a sweet fluid blues tone etc
-
fair enough. yes it would be a calibrated set should i chose the nailbomb for the neck. its going into a USA Jackson RR-1 and i play metal (along the lines of Iced Earth, Hammerfall, Dream Evil etc
-
I will be going with a Mississippi Queen in the neck and a Nailbomb in the bridge for my Les Paul setup, though it's more to handle sweet cleans, fuzz, etc. If you just play metal I'd say get a calibrated set of Nailbombs with the 4 conductor wiring so you can split the coils.
-
yeah i pretty much play metal so i guess ill get a calibrated set.. USA jacksons would use 52mm spacing?
-
Good question, but measure it yourself...If it has a trem, no doubt it's 52 mm, but if the guitar has a stop-tail bridge or other bridge, then I wouldn't doubt that it is 50 mm. Those small differences, eh? :wink:
-
its a floyd rose (so im assuming thats 52)
-
its a floyd rose (so im assuming thats 52)
yep :)
-
I thought neck pickups were always 50mm for trem and normal :?:
-
well if anyone knows if thats actually the case let me know. im assuming i need 52mm spacing since i have the floyd rose so hopefully if im wrong someone tells me
-
50mm is for Gibson styles Bridges and ANY neck pickup.
52mm is for Fender/Jackson/Ibanez Bridge Only.
If you order a set of Calibrated pickups with 52mm spacing, the neck will be 50mm without you having to specify this.
