new pickup for my flying v
« on: May 10, 2011, 11:06:41 AM »
Hi since im changing alot of my equipment atm i have realised that i need a new pickup in my flying v.

right now i have a cpig 90 in it, which i love. But its too over satuated and skinny for the rig i use now.
it does not go well with my hm-2 pedal through a live volume amp.

since i own alot of bkp's i can say that the apig is almost the perfect candidate for the hm-2 setup. But only almost. I demand a pickup which is alot more tight for staccato riffing. And has a bit more picking attack. I sorta stand between getting a aftermath of a cold sweat.

suggestions and opinions please :-)

Did you experiment with the Miracle Man you already have in the V?

No but i have it in a almost spec wise similar guitar, and its not that voicing i wish. I want more mids,  since the a pig does it all so well, it makes me think of trying another alnico model. Just not the nailbomb, i dont like that pickup at all

That would narrow it done to the HD and the BD. To be honest, for the rather extreme music you make, both might not be the best choice. The BD is clearer though. Have you tried it?

If you tune quite low it might be just perfect for that. I find it has a very growly character.

I think the CS would make a nice match for the neck. I will keep things clear, but fluid.

I would go for the Aftermath.

It has the required tightness, Is hot enough but not too hot.

And is brilliant for staccato riffing and has excellent pick attack.

I don't think any others match your requirements as exact as the AM does

Ah, sorry, read neck instead of new  8)

Yes, then I would look at the Aftermath or the Painkiller.

the painkiller is the closest one in specs
but the c-pig is the only model grindy and bassy enough to be compared with a 500t
