Setting myself up for a new set of BKP's...

The reason I'd go for the NB over HD and Crawler is, you have stated that the Korina body has a lot of low mids! which the HD  and the Crawler have tons of! the NB is more strong in the upper mids! all three are all amazing pickups, NB gets the nod from me.

Let me clarify this:

I finally got to open the guitar up the other day in a 5 hour jam with my friend. When I pulled out the LP and started playing a tune my friend and I just looked at each other and laughed. My freaking guitar was making farting sounds. It sounded terrible. I was able to dial out SOME of the farting with the SD Distortion, but it still sounded terrible... I'm trying to get away from that. Maybe a low-mid/bass heavy pick-up would NOT be in my best interest.

Just had my first blast with the Holydiver and it's awesome. All of the hairy edginess of the Nailbomb is gone and replaced with a highly articulate, thick and rich tone. There is tremendous note seperation on chords yet somehow it's a wonderfully smooth distortion in the way a Nailbomb never was. I'll write a detailed review once I've put it through its paces a bit more but initial impressions are that it is superb. It's certainly 80s Rock/Metal but is also easily capable of doing more modern Metal. This is the best pickup I think I've ever played. It really sings.

You will find that with any of the mentioned BKPs and decent pots etc, that all that rot should stop, have you thought of a lower output pup? maybe a Riffraff!

What do you mean by "rot"? I really think I should stay in the contemporary range. I don't want to lie to myself toooo much. I would rather have a bit too much than not enough, you know.

I order the Gold Ray Gun Rebel Yells on Monday 8) 8) 8) I hope they're what I'm after!
