Well I had about an hour after work before I had to pick up my daughter and I played around with this thing and I found......
Raise the pickups up and they come alive.
I did have to re "EQ" a bit , cut the bass and raise the mids and lower the presence just a touch and now this thing is sounding much better.

looking good nick! nice to finally hear you got your pickups and ofr. if you don't like the NB bridge after tweaking and playing with it a bit more give the Ceramic Warpig a try if you want a real monster. I'm interested in that cold sweat neck so gimme details

I'm glad it worked out for you. Now go forge some metal.

I just finished a little jam out.
Man my 5150 luuuuuuuuuuuuvs these pickups.
I think this guitar may sound better thru my 5150 than my JSX.
the cold Sweat is very similar to a Duncan 59. It loves gain
smooth and glassy when the guitar volume is wide open , roll it back a little and it "thickens" the tone,
pretty cool actually , between my volume/tone and coil tap
I can get a bunch of different neck tones, just by changing things up on my guitar.
the NailBomb sounds much ballsier thru the 5150.
I don't know if it's the guitar or the pickups but they both sound much "fuller" if I roll the guitar volume back to around 8 instead of keeping it wide open. The Nail bomb actually sounds better that way
I ordered a set of KT77's today for my JSX to see if that will "thicken" up the tone a little and still keep some of the El34 growl.
I'm glad I decided to keep my 5150, the JSX has a good "metal"
sound to it but the 5150...................well you guys know, it's a 5150
Ya either love em or ya hate em, and I love em

My first thought was "thats an assman"


And the quilt on that looks like chocolate coffee man. It makes my mouth water (and im not even joking). I would be tempted to try and bite it like homer did with the key to the city.

On a side note, the last thing I tasted on the fact that it smelt good was deodorant. Bad idea, very bad idea.

Potentiometers will eat the top end of the signal when you roll it back, so that is probably what you are hearing.
