Right basicaly i have a prs tremonti se which if you didnt know has a stoptiatail wraparound bridge and a mahogany body! Im not planning on changing it anytime soon so fancyed just upgrading the pickups on it. My obvious first choice of pick ups were off course the best...Bare Knuckles! But i have no past experience with pickups really, but do know what i want! I want a pickup which can do anythin from heavy metal to blues, classic rock, indie, glassy cleans anything! now the pickup i was draw to the most was the Nailbomb but would love a set of War pigs! however do war pigs do clean?! and what pickup do you think i would be best suited to. Your advice would be much apreciated guys! :D

hmmm... i used to have one of these, nice platinum coloured one, and was going to put a set of cold sweats in it... chances are Nailbombs are your best choice, as warpigs are more designed for doom metal and stuff with extreme downtuning etc.

...oooh or maybe even rebel yells, as they are a lower output, so would handle the indie stuff and the cleans better

Painkillers :twisted:

I would say in a mahogany beasty like that one i would go for Crawlers. They handle pretty much anything. Rebel yells are very good too, but for blues, classic rock and clean the crawlers will deliver ! They set has a pretty hot bridge pickup as well so the heavy stuff will be covered nicely !

M Man, Nailbomb, H Diver, rebel set, Mules, Sinner, M Milks, ITour , Trilogys , Crawlers and Painkiller set.

thnx for the post man! so would you say for clean, blues and classic rock crawlers would be the best? or what other pickup would suit that style best?

For "old school" blues/rock/clean tones the Mule would be a good choice. For something a bit hotter, or more modern sounding, the Crawlers or Rebel Yells.
