But, nailbomb.

I'd say a nailbomb too mate!

I'd go for a ceramic nailbomb though, but that's simply because i prefer the extra tightness of ceramic magnets

Are ceramics available on the BK shop?  I can just see regular Nailbombs!

There's a comments box at the end of the order process where you can ask for anything custom that yu want done

Will it cost extra to get ceramics?

And also, what exactly does it mean?  How is it any different to a normal humbucker?  In what way will it benefit me?

Sorry for the seemingly ignorant question, but I'll never learn if I don't ask!!

Adam - gutting you can't make Fest  :(  Ash isn't going either unfortunately, but I still intend to and maybe Mike.  Though he might be skint cos he's going to Australia in July...

No extra cost

Ceramic magnets impart a tighter bass, smoother midrange and sharper treble.

And maybe little less versality...

btw does 'always' ceramics magnet smoothen or soak up the mids of the A5 version ?

Maybe, yes. Cleans can, in the ears of some (including me) be negatively affected by it. Some, however, still love ceramic cleans (the painkillers for example are very good).

Yes, its pretty much a rule, or I know of no circumstances where C8 isnt smoother midded than A5.

I would.

I think ceramics cut better in a 2 guitar band

When you say 'cut better', do you mean as in I'm less likely to be drowned out sort of thing (which can happen at times)?
