Pickup comparison help. Abraxas and Cold Sweat bridge
« on: July 16, 2006, 08:50:57 PM »
Heya,

I'm thinking about switching out my Abraxas for something a little more powerful, and still has some vintage hot in it.   I want to try a ceramic bridge as well.

Anyone tried the Abraxas and the Cold Sweat bridge?

Sean



Side note:   What do I need to be able to post in the Seconds Out page?

I have had both, the Cold sweat is much fuller,more gain and has a more pronounced mid drive. The Abraxas rocked but in a different way,its a little more polite than the CS. Heavy Riffing is easy on the CS.

The Cold Sweat definitely has a whiff of "vintage hot" in it! It's really good for old school riffing, but with a taughtness that you can't get from an Alnico pickup.

The Cold Sweat has a little bit in the lower mids, not as much dead center midrange push as the Abraxis, with about the same amount of top end cut.

I did find the bridge Abraxas brighter than the CS but they where in totally different guitars.

Very cool.   The CS sounds like tasty.   I would like to try a ceramic, and the Cold Sweat and maybe the Miracle Man would be great in my LP-style guitar.  


Thanks for your experiences and info.

Whats up with the Seconds out?  Do I need more posts?

I would PM Ol about the Seconds Out forum. I've never posted in there, but I thought you only needed 100 posts. He might have to authorize you, tho.

You have to be a member of the Seconds Out usergroup to post in there - there's the link to the information page, and there's a request membership button as well.

It's because they don't want it to get overcrowded and a sort of ebay replacement with people joining just to sell stuff - the main requirement is that you have made a bit of a contribution to the place, but they usually say 100 posts as a guideline
