http://soundcloud.com/nolly/nailbomb-vs-aftermathThis is a comparison clip of the Nailbomb and Aftermath bridge pickups playing through a high-gain sound. The guitar used is my burl-top Blackmachine B2, and everything other than the pickups are kept the same between the clips (same strings included). Both pickups are uncovered and have zebra bobbins (for extra safari tone). First up is the Nailbomb, then the Aftermath, then finally the Nailbomb again, but I've turned up the Axe-FX's input gain to compensate for the extra heat of the Aftermath so you can hear the pickup voicing on an equal playing field.
The playing is sloppy and whatnot, I just recorded a take of roughly similar
playing with each.
The Axe-FX patch was made by "Soultrash" on the Andy Sneap forum. It is available here:
another AXE-FX 5150 firmware 11 clip - Ultimate Metal Forum.
I figured it was a good idea to use a "neutral" sound that I didn't make so the sound wasn't dialled in to suit one pickup over the other.
