Miracle Man Neck pickup?

[BigK]

Im thinking of getting a miracle man calibrated set for my esp ec-1000. I love the miracle man bridge (ive got one in my steph carpenter signature (sc-600) but im unsure as to what the neck pickup is like. does anybody have any experiences? Cheers Kieran

i prefer the cold sweat cause it sounds more detailed, but the miracle man is louder, meatier and sustains better
it's fat and powerful but doesn't have a lot of picking attack like the bridge pickup (if you're looking for it, you should order a neck painkiller)
it doesn't have nothing in common with an emg 85
i'd compare it with a dimarzio air zone with less midrange and a bit more treble

Thanks for replying ive taken the plunge now and bought the set off ebay. Do you know what its like clean?

It's perfectly useable, but IMO the CS is vastly superior clean.

As has already bene said, the MM neck is quite beefy & balances well with the MM bridge.

Hope you like them, MM are great pickups :)
