Most dynamic contemporary?

[Vilches3]

The other day I went to my local guitar shop and i tried an all maple gibson with black dogs in it, and it was just INCREDIBLE, so dynamic that i could get like 5 completely different sounds on one setting, im pretty sure the lower output pickups would be more sensitive to pick response thus have more dynamics, but i was wondering which contemporary model would be the most dynamic considering i like to be able to push my amp hard aside from vintage tones. Thanks

all bkps are dynamic compared to many factory made humbuckers.

however, as for the most dynamic - not holydivers or warpigs

Im gonna guess the sweats or the bombs in that case since the miracle mans more specialized then?

i'll let someone else answer that, since i don't have bombs.

when i play miracle men i don't find them non-dynamic though :) holy divers are defo a bit compressed, but thats part of their character, its a positive characteristic in a way - for the fat sound.

I find the diver very dynamic
it's very responsive to picking strength, volume/tone pots settings and specially boosting
much more than the cold sweat, for example
it can be a bit compressed sometimes, but not to the point of eating dynamics
I think that depends a lot on the guitar combination too
it was VERY dynamic in two les pauls, not that much in my sg

I'm not sure about holydivers, since they're not talked about much, but I just ordered an HD bridge and so I'll be certain about how dynamic it is in a little while. As for warpigs, I can't be sure, 'cause they certainly are loud and powerful, they may behave differently in certain settings (I've heard they can actually be too dark in some mahogany-based applications, and open up with 1k pots), but they may not be as reactionary to the player as some BKs.

between all my contemporary BKPs maybe i'd say nailbombs. maybe.

[James C]

I can't speak for any of the other contemporary HB's, but the Nailbombs are very versatile, open and organic with drive and very sweet clean, i play anything between blue oyster cult and Testament using 6's and 7's and the nailbombs handle anything i throw at them.

[Antag]

I'd say it's between the Holy Diver & Nailbomb but as others have said, all BKPs are highly dynamic.

Yes, the Holy Diver is fat & powerful, but it has an incredibly warm clean sound & as Eric has said, I find it very sensitive to pick strength with low/mid gain settings.

I'd say NB, but a candidate here is the only contporary i havent tried - the HD.

So dunno.

I say why bother going contemporary if you've already been blown away by the BDs. In the right guitar, with the right amp, BDs can get really nasty!!!

Lets cut to the chase - through any number of modern metal amps vintage pickups can be brutal as $%&#.

So lets say you had an engl powerball or a 5150 for example, a black dog or a mule or a VHII  etc would be able to deliver the BRUTALS? haha, oh and to the black dog comment, the guitar I played in the shop was set necked and all maple, my guitars pretty much a strat, besides I ordered my set already. When I go for a neat vintage axe however, black dogs are up there  :D

[MDV]

Yes, it most certainly could.

[LP_LOVER]

Well, it depends a lot on the guitar you're using.
