Air Norton in neck with a nailbomb in bridge

cedrac · 08-11-2008, 05:02 AM

Hello,

My guitar is an Ibanez s7320 (mahogany body).
I have a BareKnuckle Nail bomb in bridge position.
What do you yhink about mount a dimarzio air norton in neck ? or perhaps a blaze neck ? or a PAF 7 ???
I'm searching for a good clean in parallel and a good sweep pickup in distorsion.

Thanks a lot and sorry for my poor english,

I just tried out a Nailbomb/Air Norton combo in my RG7621 and they matched up very well together, there was much less drastic of a tone change when switching between the two pickups compared to the DS7/AN7 combo. The DS7 is so crunchy while the Air Norton has much less presence, so it's kinda like Dr.Jeykl and Mr. Hyde.

The Air Norton is smooth and fat like the Nailbomb with similar output, so they match up great; I was running it JP style with a 3 way switch, and the split coil sound was amazing! Even better than the DS7/AN7 split coil sound which was already very very good

I ended up selling the Nailbomb due to financial reasons, but I can say that is sounds great with the Air Norton. The Blaze Neck might be a bit better for clear sweep picking since it has less mids and a bit more clarity, but the Air Norton is fat and smooth and an all round great pickup.
