Pickups for Gibby Explorer

Should be fine for it, yeah.

FWIW, I just played got off playing my new c-bomb, and I think its exactly what youre looking for in the bridge.

is it darker and more grindy than the painkiller?

[MDV]

Its darker, less grindy, more low mids, similar bass, thicker, less highs and the resonant peak sounds lower, less attack (but lacks nothing in clarity), not quite as tight but its close.

[MatchooW]

haha, I dont know what to get now, Miracle man in bridge or a Ceramic Nailbomb :(

[MDV]

I've had both, and for the tone you posted there, MM isnt bad, but C-Bomb has more in common with it, especially in the mids and low end (the top is more like MM top)

[MatchooW]

I want to have good highs too, to help cut through the drums, if you know what Imean.

[MDV]

It doesnt have 'bad' highs, just not as high or as much of them. I havent played them in a mix yet, but I guess they wont cut quite as well as painkillers, cold sweats or miracle men, but I dont think they'll have a problem cutting at all.

[MatchooW]

Awesome, thanks for the help :)

[MatchooW]

i've been told by a friend that uses BK's that a warpig may be what im after, what do you think?

[MDV]

No.

[MatchooW]

hahaa :)

How about a calibrated Nailbomb in bridge and neck, or with a miracle man in the neck?

[MDV]

That wouldnt not work, but I'm sticking with the C-Bomb Cold sweat as my recommendation.

[MatchooW]

So a Ceramic Nailbomb in bridge + a cold sweat in neck?

I think i'll order those when I have the money haha :)

Thanks

[ericsabbath]

I still recommend the miracle man

[MatchooW]

Ive heard so many reviews about the Nailbomb and Miracle man, Im totally undecisive :(

[MDV]

Between the A5 nailbomb and the MM, its the MM. The a5 isnt sharp enough for that sound. The c-bomb is, and covers the rest of the characteristics of it better than the MM.
