Installed MMs in my Gibson Les Paul Custom...

[hhcave]

...and they sound AMAZING! The bridge MM has a ceramic magnet and sounds really, really driven with a lot of mids and great for harmonics! The neck is really what i find incredible though - it has an alnico IV magnet and has a lot less gain (or drive?) than the bridge but it is unbelievably tight! On my previous pickups trying to play triplets on the low E string with the neck pickups would be a joke - the notes would all merge into 1 however with the MM in there i can hear every chug clearly! Same goes with the brige but i suppose that was expected  :twisted:
I'm still trying to figure the bridge out though because im not very good with keeping fast, palm muted riffs crystal clear with the bridge pickup as it has such a high output so any tips? Turn the gain down  :roll: ?

Anyway - i just want to say: thank you Tim - you have done an AMAZING job!

it has an alnico IV magnet

Really? Is this a custom order, or has Tim changed the specs? I remember from not so long ago that the MM neck was AV.

Glad you like them!

I think it's custom.

What I want to see are - PICTURES!!!!

i'm trying to borrow back my ex-miracle man temporarily :oops:
but i'll never leave the holy diver
i'm planning to buy a true lp custom in may or june and put miracle man on it :twisted:
the palm mutes with the miracle through my framus cobra must sound like a jackhammer
i only played it through my peavey rockmaster and my ex-single recto

Haha ah i was wrong they are Alnico V magnets in the neck  :oops:

And sadly i don't know how to post pictures up - im bad with technology  :lol:


basically it now looks like Doug Aldrich's Black Les Paul Custom that he used with Whitesnake!

[goddamn electric]

This is why i need a BK neck pickup, need that clarity for fast runs up and down the neck. Congrats with the miracle man, awsome pickups! sadly i need to sell mine to get some funds for other BK's, wish i didnt have to!

Fraid so, less gain, pick harder, and play as tight as possible!

Glad you're enjoying your BKs, you're hooked now though I'm afraid. :twisted:

....nolly i had a look at your Youtube page and you're so good it makes me sick.....

...are those nailbombs?

[Nolly]

Haha thanks!

They're Nailbombs, but the bridge one is ceramic. They seem to have been getting quite a lot of attention from other metal-inclined BKers recently.. I've done a couple of clips with them in the Player's section if you're interested.
