Right getting my old ibanez back.......
« on: July 09, 2007, 06:49:23 PM »
the miracle man whilst great in this guitar really lacked the chunk that i wanted and got when i put it in my mahogany LP

so what pickup would be best for a thrash metal sound but bassier... best way to describe this would be Exodus tone on shroud of urine.

yeah details of guitar are

Body: Basswood
Neck: maple
Fretboard: rosewood
Body shape: slightly over sized V


wanting just a bridge pickup for now

well warpig is a option that i thought of.

what are the advantages/disadvantages of chosing ceramic over alnico on the warpig?

If you want something really OTT then I'd agree with the Warpig, possibly Alnico V in basswood. As an alternative, how about a Nailbomb?

my orginal thoughts before i got the miracle man last year was to get a nailbomb but tim said the amount of wood in a v wood suck up most of the tone and it wouldnt cut as well.

i dont really want something over the top, about similar to the miracle man but with a higher bass response.

how different is the painkiller from the miracle man?? does it sound drastically different??? im thinking i could do with a change of sound... this guitar will be used for D standard tuning as well if that helps

maybe because jacksons are too skinny
i've put a miracle man set in my MIJ hurricane LP custom (mahogany, maple top) and sounded huge
yesterday i moved it to my handcrafted lp standard (1 piece brazilian mahogany, imbuya top) and it sounded almost the same
tight and big
both guitars are 5 cm thick on the edge

maybe you want a painkiller for more midrange and fuller spectrum
no need for a warpig

not enough Painkiller clips. at least i didnŽt hear anyone that could show me what i was looking for.
i m not saying that the pickup isnŽt what i want, i just didnŽt hear a clip that could tell me if what iŽm looking for is on teh pickup.

Tight Bass. crunchy Mids, Airy or Warm Highs.
6 - 6 - 6
output a tad more than the nailbomb.
