The Study Of - Nailbomb and Cold Sweat Clip
« on: June 09, 2007, 07:05:56 AM »
This is an instrumental song which my friend wrote, and which I helped him record. He played all the acoustic bits, then I went back over and filled in the bass, electric, and the drum programming.

I used my Nailbomb bridge for the rhythm parts, and the Cold Sweat neck for most of the lead, with a bit of lead on the Nailbomb. The pickups are in an Epi LP Custom. I've had these pickups since last September, just never got around to making a decent clip. I'm really digging the sound of these pickups, especially the Cold Sweat.

The recording is in rough shape, all the soloing (except the first solo) was improv, and I'm not exactly a great guitar player. Let me know what ya think.

For anyone who cares, I was running my guitar into a Zvex Box of Rock and then into my AX84 Renegade (Basically a modded JCM 800). This, into a home built 2x12, close miked with a Sennheiser e609 and distance miked with a Rode NT2a, through a Mackie mixer, into Cakewalk Sonar. All effects are added post recording.

EDIT: I posted up a new version, with a revised solo, and with the rhythm guitars not quite so up-front. Tell what you think of the tones, the playing, the recording, whatever.

Good stuff, nice recording and cool playing. It's good to have some neck Cold Sweat clips on here.

Hey dude

Sounds pretty nice, the overdriven rhythm guitars have a bit too much bottom end and are a little bit too loud for the mix in my opinion. But overall it sounds pretty good, nice repetitive lick towards the end there which worked well.

Hmmm...seems to work here on this end. You might want to try right clicking and saving the link or the target to your desktop, and play it from there. I had that problem when I first uploaded it, and saving the file fixed it. Give that a shot.

Thanks. Yeah, the cold sweat was really everything I was looking for in a neck pickup. I was looking for a Petrucci type lead sound, really smooth and high gain, and that's exactly what the cold sweat has. Sound sick clean split too. Then the nailbomb is pretty gnarly for any kind of rhythm work I have. Not bad on the cleans there either.

It was actually lepersmeesa's Pastel Shades clip that convinced me to get this set, and I must say, it delivers. Props to Tim for turning this average guitar into a beast.

Dude, those lead tones are pretty much exactly the kind of warm smooth tones I'm looking for. I'm definitely going with a cold sweat neck...maybe bridge too.

Cool, good to hear. If that's the sound you are going for, then the Cold Sweat is definitely it. I highly recommend the Nailbomb bridge as well, but I'm sure the Cold Sweat is just as capable of a pickup (it's a BKP :wink: )
