hey everyone,

let me just start by saying im new hear but have been reading for a while and think this forum is a cut above the rest.

right with that out of the way ill begin.

   Basicly after a recomendation from my guitar tutor and listining to some of the sound clips i have desided to, at some point very soon, get a nailbomb for the bridge of my Epi les paul BUT i dont know what to put in the neck.

i play stuff like:

Rammstein
Metallica
Billit for my valentine
Muse
Seether
Rob Zombie
Saliva
Soil
System of a down

could you posslibly advice me on my situation?

thanx for any help :band5:

Sit tight man. This aint harmony central! Helps on the way.

Fact is there are a large number of BKs that can do heavy rock.

Can you be more specific about the sound you want?

Yep, I vote Nailbomb calibrated set too - the neck is wound specifically to work with the matching bridge (it's not just the same pickup turned around).

Only other thing I'd even consider would be Cold Sweat neck - a few people on this forum have them with NB or MM bridge pickups...
