NPD: Carvin DC727 + BKP Ceramic Nailbomb & Cold Sweat (+ pics 'n clips)

sethh · 10-13-2008, 02:51 AM

thanks zimbloth for these

so all of the sudden i have SIKTH's guitar tone... i did an A/B comparison with my ENGL clip and their "Bland Street Bloom"... sounds pretty damn close at least. BTW, i hated the guitar sound on their last album when i first heard it... so yes yes, i haven't fully made up my mind about the C-Bomb yet. the Cold Sweat is a definite win for bluesy, jazzy and clean stuff + it rocks in single-coil mode. as for the the Ceramic Nailbomb... much clearer, punchier and interesting than anything i've had before... sounds both kind of awesome and kind of disturbing, some high frequencies stick out even when presence and treble are set to 25%... i might've gone wrong with the Ceramic part specifically for my guitar, but i wanna make some music with it before further judgement... meanwhile here are the test results:

(there are some old clean and lead guitars in there still that are done with a POD X3, but the metal is done w/ NB and the lead in the middle of the track is w/ CS...)

EDIT! i only left the best sounding test-clip online now, which is... ta-daa, the slightly mixed BKP + ENGL Invader version:

Sounds great Ago! Beautiful Carvin as well. I'm glad you're digging the pickups

Mattmc74 · 10-13-2008, 03:20 AM

Congrats!

all of a sudden you have MY guitar tone - theoretically anyway :P jk

good stuff

kmanick · 10-14-2008, 10:20 PM

Sounds pretty good to me!

I've got the Nailbomb/Coldsweat combo in my Carvin DC727 too, but I went Alnico not ceramic, as I was tring to "warm Up" my bridge sound,
and Tim recommended I go with the standard Nailbomb.
I love em. my Carvin is a really really great sounding guitar now.

BTW really cool looking Carvin you have, is that a Transparent Green finish on the Alder?

Shawn · 10-14-2008, 11:09 PM

Definitely nice sounding, interesting songs too. Sweet Carvin by the way.

hairychris · 10-16-2008, 07:45 AM

That Carvin looks very familiar....

BKP upgrade for the win!

my 727 is emerald green, thanks! and the NB is good! clear and punchy. but i want better. somewhat too much low-mid focused sound for my taste right now. besides it is really somwhat fizzy which is not so good... probably the ceramic magnet causing that. do you have any clips of that Alnico 5 NB and what woods is your Carvin made of?

so you are the ex-ex-owner of this guitar... we meet at last

hairychris · 10-17-2008, 07:56 AM

Hehe, yeah, well I'm the 2nd owner. The original was a Carvin collector in Florida, so that guitar's got a few miles on it... It was in virtually mint condition when I got it, and the same when I sold it on so good to see it's finally getting some proper use!

kmanick · 10-17-2008, 03:13 PM

This is the only "metal" clip I have of it. It's thru my JSX.
No fizz, but I know what you mean, the Miracle man in my 7620 is alot
tighter, but the Nailbomb sounds much better for playing lead.

My 727 is all mahogany with a maple top and a maple board.
I'll rtry to record some better clips thru my Mark III as soon as I can.
(I sold the JSX).
