What is it? Is it the Warpig?

do BKP make a pickup as cr@p as the DB?

seriously, though, the dimebucker is ceramic, so I'm guessing (though wait till some of the more knowledgeable guys chip in) either the miracle man, cold sweat or (ceramic) warpig might be what you'd want for that kind of tone. No idea which though.

I only said Warpig because i heard someone say it was similar to that before.

The twin blade Dimebucker / Lawrence L-500XL is supposed to be a fairly bright pickup.

I'd imagine the closest BKP would be the Nailbomb.

:twisted:

I dunno if the DB is bright. there's a brightness to it (probably too bright), but there's a muddiness to the lows as well. I really didn't like it.

I don't know 'bout the Dimebucker, but the BL L500-XL
is a very transparent pickup ... and that's what Dime used
to record most of his work :D

Speaking of Bill Lawrence pickups,
does anybody know how hot the L-500L is?
Is it hotter than a JB?

Cheers, Troy

I think the Nailbombs would definitley do the job for a Darrel Dimebag sound. But it's all about the guitar technique over anything. If you play poor, better pickups only further empahsise this. and likewise when you play very well. that's my advice ; )

Nailbomb has way too much mids due the alnico magnet, miracle man fits the bill a lot better.
