thats very cool. i was hoping you would say that! how would you say the pickup handles doing a more vicious 80s metal tone.. something like Accept or early Megadeth? That kind of raw ceramic sound.

I think it would do it fine-however i cant comment as to whether itd be the best bkp to achieve that sound. For that kinda era people go on about the HolyDiver so maybe that would suit best? the aftermath is deffinetely snarly and has a raw edge but maybe itd be too clinical for a 100% pure 80's metal tone?

Thanks alot for your opinion.

When people say '80s tone' they could mean alot of things. The Holy Diver is perfect for alot of that stuff (I have one) but its quite 'round' sounding rather than raw.

Hmmm ok-the aftermath is certainly raw but my concern would be its dryness-though to be honest any bkp can pull off any kind of music with the right amp/right player. How about the painkiller? its hoigh mids/treble i imagine would offer rawness and from what ive heard, in standard tuned guitars it sounds not as full-hence it may suit that 80s metal sound?
