Has anyone tried a CBomb bridge and Emerald Neck?
« on: May 13, 2012, 02:39:15 PM »
I have a couple of Steinberger type guitars, and recently put a ceramic Nailbomb in the bridge and a Trilogy in the neck in one and absolutely love the results. My other guitar has 2 humbuckers and I'm thinking I'd like to do another ceramic Nailbomb in it, but also really prefer the Emerald neck clips to the Nailbomb. The guitar is alder with a Moses graphite neck. Has anyone tried this combination in any instrument before? I'm after a neck pickup that does well with clean tones but is also good for soloing with gain.

Edit for poor grammar.

I don't think I've ever heard of that combo yet.

Yeah, I tried to do a search to see if those 2 had been put together yet and didn't find anything. I'm half wondering if there's a reason.  :?

Currently the guitar has a pair of Holy Divers in it, but I'm really preferring the CBomb in the bridge as the guitars are about as similar as they can be, save for the neck pickup routing. I do like the HD neck to an extent, but curiosity is getting the best of me and I figured if I was going to change one pickup, might as well do both.

for high gain leads i think the emerald matched with the cbomb will be very underpowered in terms of output. I have a CS neck matched with a cbomb and i even find that underpowered at times. Unless you want the emerald purely for cleans i wouldn;t recommend it.
