Greetings all, New member here, questions too...

Hello to everyone. My name is Todd and i am located in Phoenix AZ, and currently have 3 BK's. They are 2 Miracle Man's in the bridge of les Pauls and a Painkiller in a SG.
  While the MM's are my main players, im looking for somthing with a little less....... grind, output. I need somthing a little more vintage in attitude, but not to the point where it will get lost when I change guitars.....
   Im thinking Cold Sweat. Opinions???

[indysmith]

i'd go for something non-ceramic for a more vintage sound.
What guitar is this going into?

[SuicideCircus]

A Minarik Lotus. A Mahogany Single Cut, that has some hollow chambers in it. It kind of a dark sounding guitar.....

[indysmith]

why don't you try a VHII out? hot PAF tones galore.
Or if you're after something hotter to balance with the miracle mans i think a rebel yell will be great in that kind of guitar.

Whatever you choose i think it should definately be an alnico V magnet

[SuicideCircus]

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else? What Excatly would the difference Between the Cold Sweat and the Miracle man be? (COld Sweat soundclips are minimal around here.....)

[ericsabbath]

cold sweat is ceramic, hot, tight, not as your pickups, but it won't be so different, so i suggest you an alnico pickup
maybe a rebel yell, crawler, or a holy diver if you want to keep the heavy chunkiness of your other pickups, but without that ceramic grind

I would recommend a Riff Raff for that setup. It's not a natural brightness to it which will sit nicely in the chambered mahogany, but still has miles of vintage tone.
