Humbucker sets

[death26row]

hey all.

im currently getting a custom guitar built with current specs for EMG 81/85 and i currently have them in my RG2550 so im thinking about getting a set of BNPs as ive heard nothing but good things about them.... question is what would be a good combination for heavy/death metal. i play through an ENGL screamer 50 which i may upgrade to a powerball soon. ive been thinking about a Warpig in the bridge and a nailbomb in the neck.... ive heard the nailbomb clip and its amasing but without a warpig sample im going by your reccomendations for which is better for the bridge/neck

cheers

The Warpig can’t be beaten for heavy/death metal. I think that a Nailbomb could sound a bit muddy in the neck so I would advise a calibrated set of Warpig for your axe! We’ve sold Warpigs to allot of EMG 81 users, all of them have been very happy with the results!
What bands/guitarists do you like the sound of?

I am one of those guys Steve's talking about. I've been playing guitars with EMG81's for years. Thet were the best for the job untill the Warpig crossed my path. :twisted:

well the bands i listen to theres only metallica that use EMGs thatim aware of, im a big fan of sinergy nightwish not death but ace tone..... also rammstein, alice cooper and cradle of filth, i know none of them would really be classed as death i think the closest would be either dimmu or gutworm..... its not really a band tone im after though i like to have my own individual tone which is why i went with ENGL and why im thinking about BNPs, also it may not be just yet as the guitar im getting i have been told warpigs are nearly twice the ammount of EMGs.... due to them buying direct from america :(

BUT i am definatly interested in a set sooner rarther then later and may yet change my mind and pay the extra

Hey Steve - the Nailbomb necks sound great, mine's never sounded muddy! But perhaps not the best mix with a Pig, bit too much of a contrast!!

[Ratrod]

It seems there is a soundclip in the making from a 7-string Warpig. You could wait for that and let your ears be the judge.

I ment the Nailbomb bridge in the neck! the actuall nailbomb neck sound very nice.

We're all big Rammstein fans here at BKP, Ive seen them 3 times! Funny you should like Cradle of filth, Tim taught Stuart there old guitarist to play!

I think that the best bet would be to go with a calibrated set of Pigs!

I'll let you off, you're still the only bass player I'd talk tone with

I think he's means using a Nailbomb bridge p/up as a neck.
