Title: Best Pup for my style poll
Post by: Devon8822 on May 14, 2007, 03:10:53 PM

Please vote for what bridge humbucker you think will suite me best. Ok, Im not going to say which guitar I need it for because I may be switching it around. Ok, I will need the bridge pickup to be contemporary, for mostly 70s and 80s style hard rock/classic metal. Early Judas Priest, Early Scorpions, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Iron Maiden, Yngwie malmsteen, Randy Rhoads. Also, I dont really down tune.

Also, im going to be using it with ussually a lower gain amp. A vintage 1972 marshall superlead (Same as Yngwie). So I'll have to drive it with pedals, and pickups.

Nailbomb can get close to most of those tones. I find it is especially good for Randy Rhoads stuff

I think that settles it for my bridge pickup... Holydiver it is! Now I just gotta figure out the neck pickup.

Holy diver again :lol: i have a set of Holy Diver's and they rule, i don't know anyone with a Holy Diver in the bridge and has not got one for the neck. Unless you have a single coil in the neck.

Somebody on here has a Holy Diver bridge and a Cold Sweat neck. Which sounds like it might be pretty sweet. :D

I voted Holy Diver for what he's shooting for.

For the music that is mentioned i would recommended him a Holy Diver neck. But Cold Sweat is one of the neck favorites on this forum.
