Oddly enough, when I asked about changing my Nailbomb for a Holydiver, the first thing Ben said was that the HD was even higher output than the NB. The aggressive tag also intrigues me in relation to the Holydiver. The Nailbomb was very aggressive but clips of the Holydiver and references to Jake E Lee, Doug Aldrich etc. suggest something far smoother even if it does retain an aggressive edge to it. I guess I'll know more by the end of the week  :D

the nailbomb sounded noticeably hotter than the HD in the same guitar, even though I had the diver set a lot closer to the strings

the MIDS on the diver are more aggressive and hard rock sounding, instead of the smooth PAF-like mids of the NB, but the nailbomb has a lot more high end edge and a very dense and focused sound

anyway, the Diver isn't a good match for SGs at all

Perhaps it's the tightness of the Nailbomb combined with that high end edge that's making me hear the Nailbomb as far more aggressive. I certainly didn't find it smooth at all.

Think of the Warpig as a PAF that's REALLY SHOUTING!  :D

It's quite thick & warm, not aggressive in the sharp fashion but because it's so hot. Rolls back really nicely.

A-Pig 7s, Miracle Man & Mule, Cold Sweats... Expensive kit and no talent posse.
