| I installed a Nailbomb bridge in my 2077xl and at first I thought it wasn't tight enough for me. Granted it isn't extreemly tight on the lows like emg's or blackouts but the Nailbombs are full of much more tone than those pickups and I have tried them all. The Nailbomb has a nice warm thickness to it while still having enough high mids and highs to cut. Very harmonically rich and organic sounding. It really is a great pickup. If your amp has alot of gain and is tight as is than you will enjoy the Nailbomb for metal. If you need a pickup that is going to push your amp hard and tighten up the lowend than go with a hot ceramic.
My main amp has more than enough gain, drive and tight lows that the nailbomb works well for me so far as a live Metal pickup. I may still want to try some other BKP's because I like the NB alot. |
