But Im still curious, you always have very middy p'ups, guitars, and some amps simulation on axe FX like 5150 is also middy.
Aren't those guitars too bright on gigs or rehearsals ?? Im fond of the KSE alike tone you get out of the swamp ash ones but Im still wondering :lol:.
Nah dude, never had a problem with over-brightness. The RY is also considerably darker in the top end than the old CS I had in there, so it's even less of an issue.
I'm quite surprised by how aggressive it is.
Remember, as I'm sure you do, that your double screw pole version will inantely have more bass, and that the general ballance between low and high end can be tuned (clumsily) for each string with the relative height of the two screws; raise the neck-wards one for more low end and vice versa. I suspect this is why you got it DSP (its why I used to get all my bridges DSP), but just making sure - you may be able to find screw heights that let you use the same settings for all/both guitars.
Yep, me too. The RY is giving me literally the best metal tone I've had, I'm absolutely smitten.
And yeah, I order DSP for that very reason :)
what a gorgeous beast. (the cat is pretty, too.)
Nolly, just wondering what you think of the Nailbomb. I know Misha favors the Cold Sweat as well, those clips sound pretty fantastic to me (forgive me, what rig are you playing through?) I understand the lower output is to maximize the articulation and definition.
Just got a Nailbomb put in a strat with an all maple neck, and it helped to "organi-cize" the overall brightness of the guitar.
Just seems like there are so many options with woods and such. The nailbomb sounds great to me (in that guitar)...what would you recommend for Mahogany/ Maple/Rosewood?
you are a fantastic player, btw, your SiKth youtube clips are just stellar! (as are any clips you post, for that matter).
Hey dude, thanks, glad you enjoy the vids/clips :) I'm using a Fractal Audio Axe-FX for the tones.
I love the Nailbomb, it's a great pickup! The original alnico version is very organic and open, while the ceramic is grindy and saturated, with lovely top end bite and tightness.
Misha is using the Cold Sweat in a couple of his guitars (he got those in his Blackmachines on mine and Doug's recommendation), but he's experimenting with a few different ones. I'm definitely going to get him to try the Rebel Yell, and I know he's keen to check out the Aftermath too.
For your guitar, if the stereotypes are true you should have a fairly open choice to make, you just have to decide on the voicing you want. I can highly recommend the RY as an awesome pickup to try, but you could hardly go wrong with any of the range.
