Just put a MiracleMan in the bridge of my McCarty (Clip Added)

[Antag]

Nice clip - a really good representation of what the Miracle Man can do.

I agree that "thick and tight" is a good description of the MM.  "Smooth" is the word that springs to mind for me when I play it but as Hunter says, pinches really jump out.  Hitting pinches is mainly about technique - getting your thumb bang on the harmonic node - but somehow they feel easier when there's a MM bridge pickup in the guitar.

The only downside to the MM for me is that I don't really like its clean sound, but as Tim says the Miracle Man "is a weapon of war" :lol:

Absolutely, it is technique (one of the very few things I can actually do on guitar, sometimes  :lol: ).   But they definitely come more easily with some pickups than others.

So, I quite like the MM sound.  Not saying I'll be buying one, but it's cool.

Just for giggles, showing off some MM squeals/pinches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWs47499w3E

Sounds really good to my ears! - didn't expect that sound from a MM in a McCarty

Neither did I really. In fact it sounds really organic and fat, I was expecting it to me more brash and agressive, but it isn't at all. Just amazing fat crunch in there ...
