Nailbomb vs. Cold Sweat (Bridge Pos)

[CaptainDesslock]

i'd choose nailbombs... bridge nailbomb is my favourite lead pickup, and i've got a load of BKPs, if you give a look at my signature... :)
it's more aggressive than the CS, smoother on highs, fuller on mids and punchier on lows... i love my cold sweats, but nailbombs are a step above for that kind of tones, at least IMO.
oh, they're great for opeth!

is that what you put in that super fancy custom you bought a little while back?

nope, i put a ceramic pig in bridge position and a painkiller in neck... in the future i'll look for a way to put somewhere another nailbomb set (at least the bridge unit)... and this doesn't exclude the option of buying another guitar! :) i'm talking of a distant future, though...

I noticed you have alot of BKP's, practically all of them  :D can you really tell the difference between the whole lot outta curiosity? My new guitar has a nailbomb bridge but sadly we are waiting on one last part to be delivered :(

I have a Nailbomb in my SG and an overwound Cold Sweat in my Les Paul, and I prefer the CS. To me it sounds a lot tighter, whilst the NB is more organic sounding. They are both pretty similar aparty from that though, they both sound great!

oh, my guitars sound A LOT different, and it's not just a psychoacoustic thing! y'know, i don't NEED everyone of them, but it's nice to have them... :)
how's made your new guitar?

I'm sure it will be astounding, it was based off this guitar-

and this is what we got-

I adore it, it doesn't really fly with a forum full of metal heads and blues tone dogs, but whatever. The unfortunate thing is it's been done three weeks but at the last second I wanted a tremol-no, we waited for all parts Uk to get it, no dice, ordered one from the US......nowhere to be found, alas allparts UK has them in stock again! So just waitiing for that to arrive and it shall be finished.

uhuh... ALMOST a Matt Bellamy signature guitar! i'm decidedly not into that glitter thing, but i love Muse and so i find it quite inspiring... :)

Sorry to hijack the thread... but which of the two has the better harmonics?

I've got a Caparison Dellinger with an A-Pig and an Ibanez JEM555 with Stock DiMarzio Evos.
The A-Pig has the more "bonecrushing" tone while the JEM has the better pinch harmonics and more fluid leads...

my question is:
Is there a BKP between a DiMarzio Evo concerning output, leads and pinch harmonics and an A-Pig concerning the "crushing" rhythm tone? Maybe a C-bomb? How "bonecrushing" can the CS Sound?

A LOT. :) the harsher high end gives it a plus on pinch harmonics (note that i've got my CWP in a very bright guitar), but if you're looking for fluid leads the first thing i can think about is the Nailbomb!

here's a little instrumental i recorded... it shows a bit of CWP's harmonics and squeals... mind that the lead line on "refrain" is played with neck pickups (left: RY, right: PK).
