Pickup for two Flying V's

[darkwhite]

Im new on this forum then I say Hello for Everyone  :D
Ive got Gibson Flying V standard (mahogany) and hand made Flying V ( mahogany, maple top and snakewood fretboard). I use SH6 pickups in this guitars. Tuning is B standard strings 13-70. My amp is 2 channel Mesa Dual Rectifier with KT88 and KT66 combo + tubescreamer. I play something similar to Crowbar, Kingdom of Sorrow, Pantera, Down, Black Label Society. I like this type of sound. I play a lot of palm muting power chords, squels and alternate picking.
My SH6 is too fizzy  and haven't got enough bass in my taste. I search big clarity and powerfull sound with articulate, defined and punchy bas, without muddy and fizzy.
Would you suggest me some Bare kneckles for that guitars?

Hi and welcome!
Nailbombs would be in your ballpark, as would be the smoother but still agressive sounding Miracle Man.

The Miracle Man in the bridge seems perfect for what you're after, probably in the hand made guitar. In the Gibson, to give you something a little different, I think I'd either go with either a Painkiller or A-Bomb. You don't really say what you want in the neck but I think a calibrated set in the hand made guitar would be nice and then the ever popular Cold Sweat in the Gibson.

Anything ceramic works well in Vs. The Miracle Man sounds big and modern.

Thank you for help. Hmmm... I think that Miracle Man will be good for hand made V and for Gibson ( darker sound) i must decide between Cold Sweat ( bridge) and C-bomb.  For neck position my choice is Cold Sweat : ) for both guitars. Painkiller  have too much grind for me.

Miracle man and Cold sweat

[Slartibartfarst42]

The Cold Sweat and C-Bomb bridges will be very different. The Cold Sweat is a bit more open sounding. It's tight and gives up a Classic Gibson tone that always reminds me (not entirely surprisingly) of the song 'Cold Sweat'. The Nailbomb is much more aggressive sounding and has more compression. The Cold Sweat is an excellent neck pickup and was my favourite for many years but why do you want both to be exactly the same? The Emerald is a superb alternative and I hear great things about both the Miracle Man and Painkiller neck pickups.

When I was looking for information on the Nailbomb bridge and Cold Sweat neck combo I come across this one of that combo (ceramic version) in a Schecter Hellraiser V1-FR.  Hope it's of some use.  To me that combo sounds pretty good in that guitar for metal; I only went for the alnico version because I wanted to cover more hardcore punk sounds as well.  I would say that it might also be a rough guide to how other higher-output ceramic humbuckers in the BKP range might sound as well.  Cold Sweat calibrated set probably a little less 'full-on', the CS/MM combo a bit more so.

ceramic nailbomb

and then a miracle man for the other guitar

[darkwhite]

Hello Eric do you mean ceramic nailbomb for Gibson V standard? and Miracle Man for my hand made V ? ...and thanks folks for great help. In this month I will buy my first Bare Knuckle pickups :-)

[ericsabbath]

they are similar, but the miracle man is a little cleaner and more modern sounding
the c-bomb is more raw and aggressive, but similar voiced
for dimebag, old crowbar and early down, probably the c-bomb should fit slightly better
for zakk wylde and late kirk windstein, the miracle man should do a great job
both should sound good in both guitars for all those influences
just figure which guitar is your favorite for each thing
or don't even think about anything and do whatever you feel
if something doesn't feel right, you can swap them around later
