Pickups for Power Metal??

[Slartibartfarst42]

Compared to the Holydiver and Miracle Man, the Nailbomb is more of a 90's Metal feel with a lot more aggression to the tone. I think you'll find either the Holydiver or Miracle Man suit what you're after rather better.

Was just asking as Tim recommending the Nailbomb combo. After some research into the MM, I found it a bit too high output and not organic enough for my liking. I'm just researching the Holy Diver at the moment.

nailbomb is about as hot as the miracle man

Tim suggests Nailbombs a lot and while he's undoubtedly the best qualified to make a suggestion, it does no harm to seek other opinions from other users as pickups can be a bit subjective so nobody is going to be right all of the time. I've tried all of the pickups you're looking at and the Nailbomb would be my third choice but then I don't have a God given right to be correct either  :?

I found the Nailbomb to be slightly hotter than the Miracle Man but there wasn't much in it. The Holydiver certainly isn't as hot as the other two but I don't think it's that far behind. I also find the Miracle Man to be far warmer and more organic than the Nailbomb (and mine was an A-Bomb!) but not quite as warm and organic as the Holydiver though. With the Miracle Man you trade a little organic warmth for a bit more punch but they're closer than you'd think.
