help me match a neck pup
« on: November 05, 2006, 03:57:07 PM »
hey, ive decided on the bridge pick up gotta be a nail bomb, but im unsure what to match it with.

they'll be stuck in a gibson LP standard, as i u8se the neck for leads i want somthing with a really sweet singing tone, if you know what i mean rich mids but not too nasally, or trebely.
i was thinking about either the abraxas or the holydiver, im leaning more to the holydiver because its a tad hotter to match the NB.

any suggestions?

Lot's of people like the Cold Sweat neck for lead playing, the Crawler could be cool as well.

"somthing with a really sweet singing tone, if you know what i mean rich mids but not too nasally, or trebely"

See now, this is actually the cold sweats little known middle name.

cold somthing-with-a-really-sweet-singing-tone-if-you-know-what-i-mean-rich-mids-but-not-too-nasally-or-trebely sweat.

Yep. Thats the one. How did you know? Closely guarded secret, is that! I had to sneak into BKP and steal blueprints on microfilm hidden in an EMG HZ 4 for that (where obviously Tim thought "no one will look in this piece of cr@p!" But I thought "What the hells that piece of cr@p doing here?")

Anyway, enough of my mid-week antics. I've said too much already.

The Nailbomb neck should give you a good balance.  Most the BKP sets are balanced to do so it seems.
Real men turn their volume to 11!

Rebel Yells + Les Paul = the Ultimate Rock Pickup.

Ah, but not when I was copying top secret BKP blueprints.
