Which Bareknuckles to chose for Les Paul
« on: November 15, 2008, 12:10:30 AM »
I play stuff like Gojia (the way of all flesh), High on Fire, Lamb of God. I like the tone in Dopes Die MF Die. Mostly play Rythym.  I will be instsalling these in a Les Paul Standard.



Any suggestions for bridge and neck pickups

I already had it in my head to go with a nailbomb in the neck based on some clips, How would the Warpig sound in the bridge you think.

I really liked a clip I heard of a Warpig  Laid to rest by Josh (Lamb of God) but wasnt sure if what his pickup configuration was in the neck.

Infliktor i'm thinking about installing the exact same set as you ! Warpig-bridge,Nailbomb-neck.I emailed Tim and he said that the Warpig in a LP will be bass heavy,but just like you said i looooove the clip of "laid to rest" !! And another clip of a Black Label Society song i found in the forums...i think both use the Warpig in the bridge position.I was adviced by fellow forum dwellers to go with a Nailbomb set so i emailed Tim again to see what he has to say ! I'll let you know as soon as he replies ! ;)

I just came home and found Tim's email waiting for me !  :D He says that the Nailbombs will retain better clarity with the low tunings i use.I had asked him whether the Warpig or the Nbombs would be better in a Les Paul for heavily distorted downtuned music and his choice are the Nbombs.I was kind of hoping he'd tell me to get a Warpig(:P) but since Tim is the father of the pups i'm sure he knows better than anyone ! I'm off to place my order !!!  :D :D :D

Ok cool...I gues  Im gonna do the same thing.


Are you getting them covered.

Anyone have a suggestion as to what will look good in this ?

Im probably going with the regular nickel  as I dont really like bright chrome.


But Ive wondered what the black, camo or that burnt chrome would look like,,,Hers my Paul

Hope everything goes fine and you guys record samples, because (if someday I go back to metal) my choice would be LP tuned in drop Db with Nailbombs :twisted: (big ZW & Dime influence as you can see)

with that guitar i'd probably stick to a traditional type cover, either nickel or maybe even gold would match those control knobs. or maybe non-covered zebras.
