Which neck pickup with Bridge Nailbomb?
« on: January 28, 2012, 12:43:47 PM »
Hi,

Yesterday i got my Les Paul studio faded. Pic: http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/6996/p1000121m.jpg
I'm planning on putting a Ceramic Nailbomb in the bridge position.
But because the pickups are pretty expensive i'm searching for a cheaper neck pickup.
Dimarzio, SD or something like that.
Which cheaper neck pickups pair well with the C-bomb?

I'm looking for a old-school Heavy Metal/Trash sound(Iron Maiden, Slayer, Anthrax, Judas Priest etc.). And some Hard rock a la Scorpions and UFO.

PS it has to be available in zebra :D

Edit: Guitar is full mahogany, and my amp is a JCM900 dr

What neck pickup did it come with ? Is it the 490R ? If so, what don't you like about it ? How much money are you prepared to spend ? Personally, I'd wait, save up, and get another BK - why spoil the ship ? etc...........

Maybe it's a sign that you should really invest in your driver's licence first?

Nah, because I'm a student I have a public transport card. So I can get almost everywhere for free :)
My driver's license isn't necessary at the moment  :mrgreen:

A DiMarzio Liquifire would do the job-and you can get it in zebra i believe.

If you try some BKP dealers, you'll find the pickups are a fair bit cheaper. Whats your limit for the bridge/neck?

Well, this weekend i came to the conclusion i'm gonna order the whole nailbomb set.
But I don't have a creditcard :(

We have a BKP dealer here in Holland. So I've send them a mail if they can get the specific set I want.
I'm waiting for an answer...

You might consider a NB-bridge and CS-neck. The latter excels in mahogany setneckguitars: it delivers chimey cleans and fluid leads in spades. I read the NB-neck is brighter then the CS.

Yes! My fellow trombone player (I also play trombone  :?) had a creditcard and ordered it for me.
Very curious. What are the send-times (don't know the correct english word) for BKP to europe?

Well, BKP (the company) is actually in Europe - if you consider UK as being in Europe ;)

More seriously, there are two points here:
- time for the team to build your pups and post them
- time for the various involved postal service to deliver the goods

For a more practical answer : I don't know where you live, but as far as I'm concerned (living near Bordeaux, France), it takes about 10 to 15 days.
