Nolly has a CS in his blackmachine. He says it's basically a nailbomb but with fewer winds. He's got one with 2 rows of screws though because it used to be a warpig, so that probably increases the bass a bit

Right, I've been having a long hard think about this today and I've decided I'm going to go for VHIIs instead.  I'm a bit nervous about ceramic pups, and the guitar in question has a lot of acoustic output so hot pickups might be too much.  I want a cleaner tone with good treble and not too much bass, so VHIIs seem to be the way to go.

Philly Q - I'll let you know how they turn out  ;)

Excellent!  Are you just going to take the plunge and buy a set, or test it out with your existing ones?

Great choice going for the VHIIs. Those are the one and only pickups I'd still try one day in a Les Paul...I guess they're going to kick some ass.

If I remember rightly they're a bit cleaner and not as fat, but a touch hotter?

I have a Cold Sweat in my Indie (alder) I think it sounds amazing for my Metal music. Even with other genres as I tend to flutter about the place. However I disagree with opinions on it's clean channel. I use my C-Warpig for cleans.

Right - info from Tim is in and without any prompting from me he says Riff Raffs or Cold Sweats   :?

I've got Riff Raffs in my SG already, so for the sake of something different I think I'm back on the original Cold Sweats plan!  I'll let you guys know how it works out...

Don't be scared by the ceramic and convince yourself out of it again!

I won't.  Something different is good.

Keep saying it.....
