which Bareknuckle bridge humbucker would get me close to Wolf's grindy tone on the Accept song "Slaves to Metal"?
here's a video of it on youtube:

my guitar is a bolt-on Strat copy with maple neck/fingerboard, alder body, and Original Floyd tremolo.
is the Miracle Man a good one to start with?
thanks \m/

I'd use a Holydiver, but the MM would be OK.

Welcome to the forum!
Yes the Miracle Man is a great start! You will love it!
Is that singer the German bloke Udo ..sorry can't remember his name! I remember seeing him in a band years ago. Man I'm showing my age now!

The following post maybe against the anti-single coil orthodoxy but I run a seymour duncan pedal boost into proco rat (and sometimes an chandler od - or both) and I get huge sounds from my noisy and thing SC. If you like how your strat sounds to you do not abandon the SC too quickly I say.

I was wondering which pickup would be good in a strat for Accept (I will eventually get a BK for mine for the same kinda tone). I just got the BTTW and Metal Heart albums, loving em :D

Definitely the Miracle Man.

I think a Cold Sweat might do that well too. Miraclemans, Nailbombs, or Holy Divers should all be able to come close enough too.

Definitely the Miracle Man.
however, you reccomend that for everything Ben :P

wouldn't Holy Diver be the best?

No, too dark, not enough upper midrange push, and not the same degree of natural compression.

I only recco what will work, or I don't say anything!

I listened v. carefully to the clip, and I was thinking of the Cold Sweat. I plugged in my Cold Sweat guitar, and my MM guitar, and played a similar riff. The Cold Sweat doesn't compress in the same way as the MM. It's also not as harmonically open.
I wouldn't use a Nailbomb, Holy Diver, or any other Alnico V pup for that sound.

hey thanks for all the replies! payday's tommorrow, so I'll be placing an order for an open-poled Miracle Man :twisted: if I had the buckeroos I'd order a Cold Sweat and Holy Diver for comparison.
oh yeah I should have been more clear...my Strat copy is rear-routed with a single hb and vol pot.
I can't wait to try the Miracle Man with my Soldano-hotrodded Marshall 2203 with 6550 glass!!!!!!!! :twisted:

I'm thinking possibly a Cold Sweat?
