Afghan, thats not really fair. If a person has a question about what pickup will suit their requirements then they're perfectly within rights to post and ask. Otherwise everyone may as well just log in, use search and leave.

May I respectfully suggest that this is a forum, not a database ;)


No problem...

But could you tell me what the current question is and how it would be possible to help callme.nasty answer it?

This thread could go on forever if nobody has a clue and that's not the most helpful situation now is it  :?  :wink:

I want something with a heavy low end. Capable of playing pantera, metallica, slayer stuff. Smooth, yet aggressive midrange - think of the intro to Iron maidens version of sabbath bloody sabbath or iced earth's version of god of thunder. For the highs, i don't know, just has to be good for soloing, tapping, and pinch harmonics. As i've said before, as of now i'm not the fastest player, so i want my notes to really stand out.

Is the miracle man right for me, or should i look for something else?


Its a pretty clear question.

I'm not selling mine overseas (hassle) but the man could still do with an answer (if he wants it)

P.S. I think a miracle man would do the job well. But it wont be mine, sorry pal.

yeah well because of you i can also now get a brand new BKP instead. I had no clue that there was somewhat of a discount for US residents. It went through part of the checkout process and it came out to $175 rather than $200 like i thought it'd be. Anddd... i just got my report card and it was so good that my parents will chip in some money. So now i just have to find the right pickup.

And Afgan Dave, you probably saw about 3 pages of posts and decided that it would never end because i kept changing what i wanted. But, if you look at my last post, i have decided the sound i'm looking for.

Ask Tim. It will vary with their workload at the time, but the fastest for me was the crawlers I just got: called wed afternoon, waiting for me on friday! This is inside the UK, though.

A few days is normal, plus a little shipping time for the US.

Plus, if you ask, I cant imagine it taking longer than they say it will. A world where Tim et al fail to meet a date they've agreed with you is, frankly, a world gone topsy-turvy.

yeah so i'm planning on going with a uncovered white pickup in a faded v with white tone knobs. what do you think? I think it'd look pretty cool with all white.

^ That's what I said about the Buckethead Lp (It's all white), but everyone said 'ewww, it's gross!', etc.

i like his lp. its different. but mine V's all red. by all white i meant the pickguard, tone knobs, and pickups rather than the white pickguard, black tone knobs, and black pickups.

ok now i'm not sure what spacing i need. If i measure the center E to center e strings right above the pole pieces, its 50mm. but center to center of the actual poles look more like 53mm. What the hell is gibson doing here? or am i measuring the wrong poles? i was measuring the poles closest to the bridge itself, is it the other row that i should be measuring? should i get 53 mm spacing to keep it how it was or 50 mm spacing so it matches up?
