Back to thread: Crawlers would be good for fast and crushing low mid rhythm tones?!?
if you mean fast rythm tracks / tight palm mutes riffs :twisted:, then the answer is no.
The Crawler will be too fat and warm for that.
I agree clips are not an easy way to listen to the pickups (but if you haven't the opportunity to try one, then you'll have no choice... ) Maybe you could try to listen to many clips of the same pickup and fix the similarity in tone / voicing between them.. dunno if this help much anyway..
Wrong again. Stop guessing and then treating it as fact!!!
The crawler is pretty good for fast stuff, in the grand scheme. Its not as good as other BKs for it, but its as good as, say, a JB. Its got quite a lot of definition from its mids and its quite tight, and theres a surprising amount of power on tap.
The crawler is bar none the most versatile pickup I've ever heard. Its not necessarily the best for a thing (well, its a candidate for best for blues-rock, if the emphasis is on rock), but it can
do ANYTHING. And well.
Put it this way - I play predominantly metal, but peeps round here keep getting me to play all sorts of stuff, and I resent the idea of normally tuning one of my metal guitars when they're so much better how they are. I had an Epi LP that I put crawlers in to make a blues guitar, once upon a time, cos I fancied the idea. Turns out, I dont play that much blues, and it couldnt keep up so well with the drop A# savagery, so I sold it. But when more and more people started tracking me down for random stuff and I came to need a guitar permanently in E that was ready for anything, I thought immediately of that spedific guitar, because of the crawlers, and went and bought it back as soon as the opportunity arose.
But thats all somewhat redundant, since you want no mid hump, and the crawler has a mid hump, and you want a miracle man or maybe, just maybe, a warpig. Just wanted to set the record straight on the crawler.
