Haha, that's such a bummer. I was pleased to see that I could stick with "maxter" over at HC myself. :)

Oh shoooot, I'm having second thoughts about the Holy Diver after all. shitee. Have to figure this out quick (though I'm sure I'll be happy with either). I know the HD is darker and hotter (and tighter?), is it also considerably fatter than the NB? I haven't heard any complaints of either being thin sounding though so I should get by alright, but still.

Tightness and definition might be a deciding factor though since I've come to like my tone tighter the more I think about it.

Bump from previous page, sorry.

i'd still say go with the initial recommendation.

and regards to colour/covers of them... get a cream and black zebra on there!

(if thats possible...? lol)

the cream would set off the binding nicely.

I think I will go with the initial recommendation, but goddamn if reading this forum isn't making it a hard time! xD

Atleast I've decided to go with open-coil, zebra to be precise. My Duncan Distortion in my Cort is zebra and I thought it would be cool to have a theme, plus the creme does complement the binding like you said.
I also tried some photoshopping to see what it would look like and yes, it will look fabolous.

Well, the order is put, zebra Nailbomb it is, I just hope my credit card information was entered correctly :roll:

everyone is saying go with the nailbombs, but i have a Flying V and had an ibanez S Series at one point. thin mahogany bodies are hard to drive, and i believe an overwound A5 pig will do the job perfectly.

Besides the automatic order confirmation, when do Tim contact me next? Once the pcikup is wired and on it's way? I'm a little worried I might've screwed something up when entering the credit card information since there where some fields I was uncertain about etc, so I'd really like to hear from him as soon as possible so I know everything is working out. How long does it usually take?

Metal-Assmoney · « **Reply #38 on:** June 30, 2007, 09:08:09 PM »

he will e-mail you if anything is unclear. he did me when my amex didnt go through.

maxter · « **Reply #39 on:** June 30, 2007, 10:21:26 PM »

Nice. Again, about how long does it usually take between you lay down the order and the pickup is finished and mailed (not delivered, just sent)?

Metal-Assmoney · « **Reply #40 on:** June 30, 2007, 10:22:52 PM »

i dont know, mine took about 2 weeks, but that was at a pretty busy time.

maxter · « **Reply #41 on:** June 30, 2007, 10:23:59 PM »

Alright, that's good to know. I'll just be patient then. Thanks. :)

hmm, I've always heard the nailbomb wasn't a very tight pickup. I think if you emphasized that part more in what you wanted, you would've been recommended something else. the miracle man and the ceramic warpig are supposed to be much tighter

indysmith · « **Reply #43 on:** July 25, 2007, 12:38:52 AM »

i don't think the nailbomb has a particularly tight sound, although it does react to your style - if you play tight it is definately easy to make sound tight.

Hey guys, I have been reading this thread, and I was going to put a NB that I already have in an rg4ex, but I scored a Japanese S with OFR on evilbay, and it blows the RG away in lots of ways. ( V pickups sound way better than the ibzs) specially cleans, but my question is to indysmith. When you replaced the stock pickups, were the low strings brighter and tighter with the Nailbomb install? How would you describe before and after, if you will?
