chasing the GAS dragon
I got bored and decided to compare the M7 and Nazgul bridge pickups in my Aristides. I have 2 070s and the only difference between the two in the clips is the strings used on the guitars. I have NYXLs on the nazgul loaded one, and stringjoy ones on the M7 loaded one. I used the same IRs, same amp, same riffs, same eq, etc. They both do things well. I prefer the M7 for chunkier sledgehammer death metal riffage in the vein of Nile or Morbid Angel, etc. The Nazgul works much better for techy riffs and beatdown/modern hardcore stuff e.g. Kublai Kahn, Knocked Loose, Cabal imo. Both have decent cleans, though I'd give the slight edge to the M7. Neither have good split coil sounds (I didn't use them in the clips because they're so meh) imo.
