Coldsweat Bridge appreciation

[witeter]

This may be slightly pointless i know but Ive recently oredered a Cold Sweat bridge which is currently being fitted-however the tech has a backlog and it wont be ready for about a week-hence im just dying to try it but in the meantime cant stop thinking about it and the tones itll provide :-) so just wondered if you guys could make things a zillion times worse telling me what you like most about your Coldsweat bridge! :-)

sorry to say, but it sucks :(

I'm interested in knowing more about this bridge. I never hardly hear people talk about it. You hear people talk about the bridge pickups on all the other models, but this is the one were people only seem to speak about the neck.

Oooooh interesting :-) well i will be finding out soon whether it sucks or not-im expecting it to be like a slightly less hotter ceramic nailbomb with a bit more percusiveness and highs-i will be reviewing it once i have it installed.
By the way Eric-why didnt you like it? what guitar did you install it in? what music were you playing?

Well to me the cold sweat bridge is like a less hot & less bassy miracle man.

Those are the main two differences.

Now onto the CS in general its tight, clear, punchy  and has a great high end presence & midrange character but for what i play it was just a tad too bright

Hey man thanks for that-and what music was it that you played? and what guitar was it installed into? i was after something with a better mid-high end attack and im hoping that in my all mahogany guitar itll shine and not be too trebly

It was in my Ibanez RGD before i swapped it out for an aftermath i put it into my RGA which is mahogany and it sounded a lot better and was a lot more suited to the guitar.

In fact that was when i noticed how similar it was to the miracle man as that guitar usually has a miracle man in the bridge.

What kinda guitar are you getting it in?

Oh and i play 80s thrash sorta stuff with a lot of modern & power metal influences thrown in there

Hey man thanks again for the info-im putting it into my PRS SE Tremonti, mahogany body and neck, rosewood board. I play heavy stuff (90s and modern metal) though wanted something versatile also. I was told it should be fine and do what i want it to do..we shall see i guess?

Im surprised you didn't get the Ceramic Nailbomb or Miracle Man. They both work wonders in mahogany guitars.

I imagine it will work very well for you.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you've played it for a few days.

One thing to note is BKPs are very sensitive to height which you may already know but the CS is more so.

So if it doesnt sound quite right make a few adjustments and you should get where you want

They do but so does the CS

Of course. I'm actually very interested to see what he thinks of the Cold Sweat bridge, and hopefully hear some clips :)

Ah cool thanks well will deffinetely review it once i have a chance to mess around with it.
Well i already have a PRS fitted with a C-Bomb set, and its great but a bit on the scooped side, not a big deal as i play with lots of mids from the amp live, so its fine. But was curious to try something even more versatile maybe and with a bit more mid/high end hence i was advised on the CS-also was told that its extremely clear which sounds very cool!
Will deff mess around with height-do u remember how close you used to have it to the strings (prob a stupid question i know lol)

[Transcend]

To be honest i cant remember at all it was well over a year ago when i had  a CS i just remembered that the closer you got the bass got a really great kick but too close and it was too much

[witeter]

Ok cool no worries man will mess around with it when i have it installed and do a review also-did  you find it to be a very clear pickup?
