Could anyone play this with 'Pig and/or M'Man? (or NAILBOMB)

[wintersun]

Hi

I'm very much looking forward on buying a WarPig or a Miracle Man. The problem is that I just cant make up my mind which one tu buy. They're bouth quite amazing and so the choice is quite difficoult.

So here I've added a MIDI composed mp3 file, and if anyone would be so kind to play it with any of those pickups and post me a sample of it I'd be most gratefull. I don't know if this is appropriate to ask, but seriously, it would realy make up my mind. And it's quite simple to play. It's only a demonstration of how they would sound if played that way. You'll hear.

Thank you all  :lol:

EDIT: Allright, I've just recived a mail from Tim! I'm adding NAILBOMB to the list!

eeeeer, I don't understand!

fact of the matter is a pickup doesn't determine your style, jazz players have used warpigs because they like the depth and warmth and touch sensitivity.

the Warpig has tonnes of bass and lower mids and a massive amount of output, it's somewhat muddy with Mahogany guitars and leans towards downtuned styles of music although this isn't strictly the case.

The Miracle Man has a similar profile but is ceramic, tonnes of bass and low mids although the treble response is much sharper and it bites like a chainsaw, I think this pickup really suits 80s thrash metal think "And Justice For All" by metallica that album is the nearest sound to the MM but it's got more lower mids.

The Nailbomb is just one hot alnico pickup the versitility is amazing, it's got plenty of upper mids that really grind and are agressive, to me it's more like a really freaking hot rock pickup, think somewhere along the lines of Satriani..

I'd pick the Miracle Man for that riff.

Yes, I know it doesn't determine the style, that's why I thought if you ever get to record something, and if it's not a big problem, that you record this fancy clip, so I could hear what does it sound like with the nailbomb.

Well, I mix a lot of styles, but I prefer a melodic death style ("chord-like", as above) riffing, and a shred-like solos.

The standard recommendation (at least it always used to be, I don't know what people say these days as I haven't been about for a while) is Miracle Man bridge with a Cold Sweat neck for that sort of thing. Can't recommend further, as I've not used either, but I'm sure others will comment more :)
