Pick-ups for melodic death metal.

[BL4CK_K1N6]

Hi at all!
I play melodic death metal with a 7 strings, I need a power and defined sound. The Warpig with ceramic magnet at bridge and Nailbomb at neck can be good? Other proposals?
(Sorry for my English, I'm italian :D)
Thanks!

miracle man

+1 to the Miracle Man, set my LP in B-e-a-d-f#-b yesterday, the bass end was so clear and defined it was awesome, nails the tone from 'a predators portrait', which is incidentally why i went down to B.

you will probably get a lot of suggestions for the Cold Sweat neck p/up as it seems to be increasingly popular for a clear and fat neck tone for sweeping + legato, but i'm not sure how it will match with the MM.

Uhm...
Why not the ceramic Warpig or Nailbomb?

Why not the ceramic Warpig or Nailbomb?

Possibly because the miracle man is tighter than both, and has plenty of power on tap, and also deals extremely well with low tunings :)

Another option would be a painkiller set, but I think the miracle man is probably a touch more suited to what you're after.

Tim said me: "Warpig ceramic or Painkiller humbuckers-excellent melo/death tone."
Help!    XD

I'd have said Painkiller for a tight / defined response. Warpig is a bit more organic but is a fantastic pup and I'm a fan.

Tim is pretty good at matching the neck to the bridge, so unless you have a good reason to mix and match I'd go with a set.

The Nailbomb can have a ceramic bridge if you want to go down on the power a little.

If you want an all out war machine, get the PK or the WP. Either will put a smile on your face, and melt the face of anyone standing in front of your cab.

Oh, and don't forget that the double allen bolts on the WP look f**king cool.  :twisted:

all the contemporary line models will do the job, but the miracle man already has that huge and tight bass response, sounds more punchy than the painkiller, the low mids are more growly and grindy, but it's way more focused than the c-pig
and that's how 95% of those bands try to sound

I only played it in 3 mahogany guitars, but some say it's one of the best choices for basswood

the painkiller is a bit tighter and way more middy, but thinner on the low end, and considering you have a thin basswood body, floyd and maple neck, you'll prefer to have more punch from the pickup

[HTH AMPS]

for modern melodic DM styles I'd say Miracle Man too - it's tight, clear and defined.

for more grindy end of DM I'd go with a Ceramic Warpig.

[Nolly]

I'll agree with the Miracle Man suggestions, though as Eric has said, you could go for any of the contemporary BKPs and be happy.

Thanks for the answers!!
Most of you have suggested me the Miracle Man bridge... It is good also for leads and solos? Because if it's I change only the bridge pick-up...

[Davey]

Possibly because the miracle man is tighter than both

no it's not, though it does have more growl than either. seems angrier

go with a CWP. you will not be dissapointed!
