Just curious, a ceramic magnet NB w/double screw pole peices, is this possible? If so how do you guys think it'll sound?
-
Like a Miracle man :lol:
Haha i don't really know but i would think it would be similar to the Miracle Man being same magnets and DC being kind of close, though MM has a lot more output.
What do you want to play? I'm sure there is a normal bkp humbucker which will solve your problems.
-
IIRC someone on this forum has a Nailbomb. No idea how it sounds, but IMO it would be a bit of an ice-pick - the A5 Nailbomb has plenty of top end as it is.
If you want higher output + bright sound + ceramic tightness, then it's a toss up between MM or PK. MM has a lot of low end, PK more mids. FWIW I did a riff shootout (http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7038) in the player's forum.

+1 - I'm a bit sceptical when people who don't yet have any BKPs start asking about a custom wind or different magnet combo. Trust me on this, there is a stock BKP to satisfy just about any palette :)
-
Yea, that would be alot like a MM :lol:
I just wanted the organic sound of the NB, but with more power and tightness.
-
the MM will do that well, or if you're set on an AV magnet then a Warpig is a GREAT pickup that i feel doesn't get nearly enough attention on this forum. it is also a lot tighter than a Nailbomb.

doesn't the ceramic magnet just have a less organic sound than the alnico's?
-
Pretty much yes.
-
AFAIK the Miracle Man is wound with a thinner wire than the Nailbomb and has symmetric coils. The Nailbomb is wound with 43 AWG plain enamel wire and has a healthy offset between the two coils. I don't think the two would sound very similar.
-
True, and the MM is 45 guage polysol. It also has quite an offset.
You'd have to ask tim what it would be like. I doubt they'd be that close: the wire and wind is different in both.

more like a painkiller than a miracle man

good man

MM and Painkiller are far from organic tones so stay away from them.
-
Well the EMG 81 was too hot for me(I like to get most of my gain from my amp/eq), and I also enjoy an organic tone, an extremely saturated tone is not for me. But I would be perfectly happy with a stock BK(if you can really call it stock). Was just throwing out an idea, maybe I should ask tim what a ceramic NB would sound like.

Kills at 10 paces. There are plenty of clips in the players forum (hmmm, although a lot of them are ceramic pigs). Just be warned it is uber brutal. IMO the WP is better in A5.

sorry, i had to log in just to do this
-
Double screw pole pieces will add more bass (I have a Nailbomb like this so I know from experience). This will be tightened up by the creamic magnet, but if this is what you want why not get a Cold Sweat?
