Pickups for Les paul

[Les Yuval]

Hello,
I am using a Tokai les paul and i want to change her pickups.
I play mostly Thrash metal, guns n roses, iron maiden and garry moore
Which pickups do you suggest me?
(I would like a sound that will be good for hard/classic rock and for metal)
I can get a cold sweat neck pickup for a low price.
What do you suggest me?

Mmm... Cold Sweat ?

NB : Wild guess and half-joking - never played the Cold Sweats and don't do metal. But the real experts should ring in pretty soon now !-) In the meantime there's another current thread that you might want to browse here: http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=21500.0

And welcome onboard BTW.

Miracle man, all the way. Perfect in a les paul for what you describe.

[Les Yuval]

I really liked the miracle man!
thank you.
Should i buy a full set of miracle man, or only bridge pickup?
And what about the cold sweat?

[Madsakre]

The miracle man is perfect!
And its indeed perfect for thrash metal. The tone it delivers is very much alike the tone on Death's "the sound of perservenerance" a piece of chuck's souls lives inside each miracle man.

I just made a little medley for you just so you can get the idea :)
Just excuse my playing. Im ill atm and for some weird reason, my high D keeps going out of tune today.
But here it is :)

Gear-
Bc rich mockingbird w/ mahogany body, spalted maple top, neckthrough etc w/ Miracle man bridge
Pod farm.

The Cold sweat neck gets a LOT of love on here - you can't go wrong with that. MM bridge, CS neck would be an awesome combination.

I'd pick a holy diver or nailbomb over the miracle man to keep the versatility

[Madsakre]

Versatility is for poor people :D Just get more guitars

[Les Yuval]

I cant afford a new guitar, should i consider buying a nailbomb?

No, get a miracle man. It's plenty versatile enough, unless you play a lot of jazz and blues. Do you?

Not a lot but yes, I do.
what about the rabel yell?

[ericsabbath]

the nailbomb is just as metal sounding as the miracle man and still more versatile
the holy diver is a great metal pickup as well and even more versatile

what about a VHII neck?
And a rabel yell bridge?

well, you could, but you did ask us for our opinions and you got just that!

If in doubt (and even if not in doubt), ask Tim - go to front page of website and find his contacts there. He knows his pickups better than anyone else.
