theres an old clip of a rebel yell loaded SG into a JCM900 somewhere on the forum, sounded alright to me.

since you want a touch more modern than the song you linked us, maybe the nailbomb is indeed the way to go.

Cool man, The thing is now that Im starting to understand the science behind these pickups. I'm starting to thing that I kinda like that Middy Alcino sound.

Gahh, would you say an alcino nailbomb would still be good, perhaps a Seymour duncan JB with a bit more oomp/modern?

theres plenty of nailbomb clips about, they are quite distinctive sound pickups.

one you should hear for sure is an official BKP clip, its on the official BKP clip section of the forum and was made using a Flying V - similar construction to your SG:

That's a Miracle Man to my mind.

both nailbomb and miracle man sound nothing like a jb
but both should work pretty well for the sg and style
they're among the punchiest pickups on the bkp line
don't get too obsessive on details
