Hi guys, i'm getting an Ibanez RG1570 soon, and plan on getting a Warpig and a Nailbomb for it (not sure which I will have in neck/bridge yet), but have no idea which single coil to have in the middle (it is HSH).
It's a basswood guitar, and for the humbuckers I will be playing a lot of modern metal, think Redemption by Shadows Fall, The end of heartache by Killswitch Engage, and have heard a lot of people saying good things of Nailbombs in Basswood. Will Nailbombs be able to do the modern metal chugging type sounds? Or would a Warpig be more suited to that? I don't particularly want a MM, as I think they will be a bit too compressed for me. So perhaps a Warpig in the bridge for the heavier side of things, and a Nailbomb in the neck?
Now, to the main bit. I don't have much knowledge of single coils (always use humbuckers usually), so I am looking for a rock/metal style single coil, if possible, nothing particularly heavy, but don't really want that classic strat tone. I'm thinking a Trilogy perhaps, or Irish Tour?
A nice-ish clean would be good, although not vital. I probably won't be using the single coil hugely, but I would rather pay that extra £60 or whatever, and have a more versatile guitar, and not be thinking "I wander what that would sound like on a single coil" or whatever.
So basically, just a single coil that will match/go well with a nailbomb and a warpig, but not such a high output pickup.
Thanks, and sorry to post another pickup help post, but I have only got a pair of Riff Raffs and a Cold Sweat, and never really use single coils, so thought I would rather play it safe and ask you guys!
Ben.
