Holy Diver?

[Ron]

Hello,

I have a neck-thru Jackson Soloist, all-mahogany, with an ebony fretboard and an OFR.  This guitar has a single humbucker at the bridge and one 500k volume pot (no tone).  I want to replace the current pup (DiMarzio Super 3) with a Bare Knuckle, but I'm not sure which model to try out.

I like to play music like Candlemass, Dio, Yngwie, Iron Maiden, Venom, Accept, Iced Earth......Old-school or "traditional" metal, I guess.

Would the Holy Diver be my best bet?

The catch is, I need to get great lead, heavy crunch, and useable clean tones out of the same pickup.  "Clean" as in Venom's Buried Alive intro or that clean break in Master of Puppets.

For amps I use a Marshall 2203 and 6100.

Thanks!
Ron

holy diver works wonderful with mahogany and it gives the best bridge clean tone i had
nailbomb will be fine too, with a bit more edge and less bass
boosting it will help a lot to improve the picking response and harmonics, specially through a jcm 800

Welcome, Ron!

I would think either a Holy Diver or Cold Sweat will do what you want.

I play in a traditional metal band, as well.

You can hear the Cold Sweat, Abraxas neck and Miracle Man doing this style here: www.myspace.com/twilightodyssey

I have a Holy Diver video clip up on youtube you might find helpful, as well:
