Title: My Explorer with Nailbomb!
Post by: Crazy_Joe on April 05, 2007, 02:07:48 PM: Thanks to Sgmypod's quick delivery (and great price :P ) I now have a Nailbomb loaded Explorer!!
Just took the Ceramic 'Pig out and put this in to give me a less bassy tone and it has worked a treat!

I see what people mean by the articulation of this beast, it is extremely articulate great for a bit of thrash metal! And it's very versatile too, great cleans.

I also got a modded SD-1 today which has made the tone on both the Explorer and Ibanez amazing!

Might get it recovered at one stage as Burnt Chrome and gold doesn't go that well! But it is definatley growing on me :D

Post by: Crazy_Joe on April 05, 2007, 02:18:13 PM: Yeah that would look cool, or i might recover it with something like distressed gold, that would be cool. I also would like a black pickguard for it :P

I really like the Nailbomb too. Its great for what I play. I mostly just change the gain and treble to switch from a rock or metal tone.

They're really great for the vintage stuff too.

You mean anything. Maybe we are just the nailbomb lovers around here.

Post by: Muzzzz on April 06, 2007, 06:52:22 AM: ^ Yeh, I have a NB/tril/tril set, and it can do anything. Whack on the clean channel and turn down the treble a bit and the trilogies will even do jazz!

Oh yeah, will you be Seconds-Outing your CWP anytime soon Joe?

Nice! I want to get a single coil set that is similar to a nailbomb. Not really EQ or power, just awesome versatility.

Post by: BloodMountain on April 06, 2007, 01:24:54 PM: he's selling his WP to WFD i think
Title: My Explorer with Nailbomb!
Post by: Crazy_Joe on April 06, 2007, 01:50:17 PM: Haha there have been 3 offers for the CWP already, WFD came first so if he wants it he can have it but if he says no i will give it to someone else.

And no that's my sister piano, though i use it for my compositions and stuff, my other instrument before the guitar is a Euphonium (a big brass instrument :lol:)

i'd love that ceramic warpig if no one else takes it. I'd buy a new one, but i don't have the funds for a new pickup.

Post by: CJ on April 06, 2007, 11:06:28 PM: how much are you selling it for?
Title: My Explorer with Nailbomb!
Post by: CJ on April 07, 2007, 12:36:15 AM: and i'm guessing its the bridge? what cover do you have on it if any? what spacing?
Title: My Explorer with Nailbomb!
Post by: Muzzzz on April 07, 2007, 05:11:10 AM: The WP is Joe's old avatar (I think..) *drools uncontrollably*

Joe, I really wish I could take your deal, I know I'll regret it, coz it's bloody good considering the asking price of a new one!
Title: My Explorer with Nailbomb!
Post by: CJ on April 07, 2007, 05:23:58 AM: i don't know what his old avatar was, unless you mean the one he has now... what was he asking for it?
Title: My Explorer with Nailbomb!
Post by: Muzzzz on April 07, 2007, 07:43:45 AM: He's since changed his avatar - it was gold covered with 2 rows of gold screws. He told me 70 pounds including shipping, which is great considering they're 115 pounds new, without shipping

Post by: CJ on April 07, 2007, 08:32:34 PM: hmm... gold is probably the worst it could've been. i have all chrome hardware, a white pickguard, and white volume and tone knobs... i really wanted to get an open coiled white pickup, but since i don't have the money, i guess i can't be too picky.
