The Aftermath - more than just a Djent pickup?

[James C]

From recollection, I believe that the Aftermath was born out of MDV's search for uber-surgical attack and bass response in order to serve playing akin to that on "Aftermath" by Origin

In a warm mid focussed guitar (mahogany) there was too much low mid for my own tastes.

Would that mean that in that case MM set (which has noticeably less mids) would perform better?

I like the MM set a lot but remember my tastes are old school 70s and 80s rock and commercial metal, so if it sounds like George Lynch/Ozzy/Queensryche etc I'm going to like it
I don't really tune lower than e flat or drop D with my own playing either, so I don't have to deal with frequencies that only whales can hear

that made me nauseous..

though, The Aftermath pickup would be perfect for that

Interesting. I don't disagree with you.

Tim even made me an experimental Aftermath with a single row of screws and slugs for less bottom end - quite liked it but again careful which guitar I put it in.

I quite liked that pickup too.

Yeah well I'm not a fan of that 'technical death metal' stuff either, but I can see how the Aftermath would work for it.

sorry if that seemed like i was criticising you ;) for me the music was 'ok' but the video clip was edited in quite a disturbing way

The guitar I have them in is a mahogany, with a rosewood fretboard. I wouldn't really call it a "bright" guitar though.

Would I be better off putting a Nailbomb or a Painkiller in perhaps?

Ha - I hadn't seen that before ...

You know how some metal bands put an angry, shouted/grunted middle 8 section in with te drummer going mad with the double bass pedals.
Seems that this band decided to make a whole song out of it and whilst there was some good technical stuff going on I confess I hated nearly every second of it.

I can see why the Aftermath would work for that sound though , and if that sound/style is your thing then I suspect it would maybe work in most guitars.

there ain't much to analyze over that Origin tone(?)

but the aftermath can do this:

Thats a dirty lie and horrible misrepresentation.

They made 6 albums out of it.

That's the first time I've actually heard that Origin track.

I was trying to think why, then I remembered YouTube and Spotify (...and most things, in fact) didn't work on my old PC.

Interesting.

Nice one Mark!

There are some skills there but not my kind of thing at all.
