Hails Guys
thankīs for the soundclips of warpig, miracle man, the mule and nailbomb.
i loved them all, specially the mule, miracle man, warpig and nailbomb(in this particular order)
i didnīt choose the mule because of its output, but its tone is great to my ears. i still want a metal clip with a good ammount of distortion using them Q:p.
the nailbomb is good too, but open sound and Less(still tight) tight than the miracle man.
Miracle man, i really Loved its Highs, and mids. and the bass is just WOW. ahahahaha tight as i wanted. (can anyone post some clips of the A5 version in the bridge with A good ammount of distortion? metal riffs if possible) . and the Warpig, i heard some clips, i liked them, but i need other clips with different gears and a more metal tone. and leads and rhytm too.
i liked it... and liked them all, but my vote is for the miracle man for the bridge of my Custom AXE project made of brazilian mahogany body, Brazilian Marfin Neck, and Brazilian Rosewood(Jacarandá-da-Bahia) fretboard.

Now i need some tips and help from yah regarding the Neck humbucker.

the sound i want for the neck is this : creamy, sweet, crunchy Mids.sweet , articulated and defined highs... and warm , sweet, bass.
Warm and vintagey overal sound.. But with a Moderated Output... just to not be buried by the Miracle man bridge output.
Prefferable Alnico II, that is a magnet that i know will give me all that sweetness.
it will go on the neck of that same axe i described here.

Hails and thankīs for the Info... i looked to the BK pickups info, and i have one option in mind, maybe too... but iīll reveal it, only after your comments and suggestions, cause i care for it a lot. Q
Unholy Black death thrash fusion Metal Hails.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh i forget to say that i will use a lot of distortion, hummm maybe a GOOD ammount of it.. not the distortion on TEN, literary. eheheheh

Hails bro,

I cannot help you, but I just wanted to compliment you on your English.  I've known you about 1-1/2 years, and I must say that your English is vastly improved.  It must be all this forum business.

Good work, bro!

Well, that Miracle Man sounds to be what I need.  I'm gonna have to scr@pe up the $$ somehow, though.  I'm on a fixed income!

I think you should go for the calibrated set. There's a part in Tim's clip where he uses the neck pickup, very sweet.

JP, why would you like an A5 Miracle Man for the bridge position? As Ben mentioned before, if the MM sounded better with an A5 magnet, Tim would have surely designed it that way. If it ain't broken, why fix it? :wink:

Tim used to use a Stormy Monday in the neck position of his Foster LP, with a Miracle Man bridge.  To tell you the truth, I thought this was still the set up when I tried it at LGS, and I was trying to figure where the extra drive came from  :roll:  

Once Tim told me that it was an A5 MM, I was sold and I bought a set.  If you are going to use the A5 MM in the bridge, I would put an A4 Stormy Monday in the neck.  The A4 is so much more musical than the A2, and the A5/A4 combo is fantastic.
So many pickups, so little time

I would go for a calibrated set. You wont get the same tone as you've been hearing from an A5 bridge.

A linked question: how would you compare the MM-neck and the  Nailbomb-neck?
Both A5 magnet...

So let me get this straight the A5 MM is beter then the Ceramic MM?
Wouldn't the nailbomb be the same thing as a A5 MM?

I think the Nailbomb is closer to a Warpig without those big stud screws.
