Painkiller neck in bridge position
« on: August 09, 2011, 03:56:14 AM »
Hi

I have the opportunity to buy a neck painkiller reasonably cheap

I was wanting to put it into the bridge position in a bridge only guitar (no neck pickup)

I know the values are slightly different - but what will be the overall sound difference?

It appears the string/pole spacing is the same, so whats the sound difference going to be?

Thanks in advance for helping

Depends on the woods and if you play downtuned. The Painkiller is not the best choice for standardtuning.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

This guitar is tuned "b" and mostly mahogany - that's what I'm asking about the neck painkiller for the bridge

I have other guitars tuned Eb, what would you recommend for them for a tight powerful sound?

For Eb, a nailbomb would sound great. Or a Holydiver.

I'm using a Holydiver in my les paul in standard tuning. The tone is THICK!
