Wich pickup for a real heavy sound?

[Lysander]

Ok, and something more then: Should I get the pickup calibrated, or can I do this myself? Will it affect my sound?

This confused me at first when i bought my Nailbomb, it's a calibrated SET, meaning that you get a bridge and a neck pickup.

NO,no,no I just want one bridge pickup, not two.
So I get thhe 'not calibrated' pickup,right?

This can be a little confusing.

Calibrated set refers to a set of pickups that don't suffer from the huge volume jumps which some manufacturers pickups suffer when switching from neck to bridge positions.

Ok, but since I just want one pickup in the bridge position, I don't have to worry about calibrating right?

Wich is better for a FAT, clean yet heavy-distorted sound? Something like 'Little Dolls' of Ozzy or 'Warpigs' (!) of Black Sabbath or 'Aces High' of Iron Maiden

The Warpig or the Painkiller?

Sorry, but as you see i don't know many things about pickups, gotta learn

[Crazy_Joe]

I would say Holy Diver :lol:

[ericsabbath]

for most guitars i'd say holy diver too, but to make a strat sound FAT, i must say alnico warpig

The Alnico V one?

I have to get a new pickguard now, I wanna get a aluminum-mirror one, bu I can't f***ing find one!

[Crazy_Joe]

I would say the Holy Diver is more fat sounding than a Warpig.

Alright, finally I decided to go for a Holy Diver, thanks mates!
