@FirePower3006 a guitars natural tone that derives from its wood and hardware because they are so powerful, with sharp treble, booming bass, and nasal midrange and focus on making the guitar being heard rather than tone. so you could throw a particular set of actives in almost any guitar and they would all come out sounding almost identical if the pots werent changed. and dont thrash my opinion because i can back it up. i havent had to stoop to insulting you or your opinions yet.

@FirePower3006 and when you are LIVE and your amp is CRANKED good luck getting decent clean tones because turning down the gain and switcing to the neck probably wont be good enough. once again your standards of clean arent mine. also by clean with distortion i mean CLEAR notes heard at high gain and volume with little or no compression. actives were designed to do this for bass players but guitarists started using them. unfortunatley most active pickups like emgs take away

@FirePower3006 also the dimebucker is actually louder than emgs. i told you i was suggesting TONAL QUALITIES over power. a sharp cutting powerful scooped tone with bar ceramic magnets so that its an even magnetic field across the whole pickup is very desirable by a ton of metal lead players. and pickups arent gainy, they are just loud and that distorts the amp. i guarantee that most of the pickups you play on break your amp up and you dont even notice.

@FirePower3006 why do you not think i know all this? nail bomb is high out put, duh dc resistance is not synonomous with output. every high output pickup sounds gritty on cleans because of tube breakup because the amp is pushed unless you use solid state. and dimebag scrapped the bill lawrence before he died and partnered with duncan because the thought the lawrence was too compressed and noisy sounding.
-
@FirePower3006 And I called you stupid because giving the advice to anyone that the dimebucker is a good pickup is complete bullshit, that pickup if used which I recommend not to only sounds good for an 80's thrash tone + if your buying a dimebag pickup the one he actually used was the bill lawerence l500xl.

@PANICBLADE No pickup should sound "gritty" on the clean channel on any amp first of all and the dc of the pickup does not indicate how much output the pickup has, the nailbomb is not really really high output in fact you would prob have to turn the gain on your amp up like 3-5 to get them to be a gainy as emgs or any active pickup.

@FirePower3006 to quote the dude. Thats just like, your opinion man.

@FirePower3006 and i dont appreciate being called a retard and a troll since i was trying to help some one other than you in a polite and educated way.

@FirePower3006 16k is damn high dc. and your emg cleans may sound nice to you but compared to other stuff they sound very woofy. also i never said you cant get cleans with emgs, tons of jazz and blues players alike use them. my buddy has a dimebucker in hes gibson v and its great. its a thing called a tone knob bro roll off the highs then turn them back up when you want more cut. its loud as hell too. its also very responsive at high gain which is better for lead work which i was saying.
-
@PANICBLADE Nailbombs aren't that high output and I can get cleans with EMG's which are very high output. And if you suggested a dimebucker to ANYONE your trolling, retarded or you have never played any of these pickups. And the dimebucker has NO balls, just a thin, treblely mess.
tonally, what's the difference between the ceramic and non ceramic nailbomb?. I want to put a nailbomb in the bridge of my pre fender jackson sl3, being run through an ENGL invader but do not know which version to choose, help appreciated

@dimebagalways Ceramic version has tighter bass, smooth mids and brighter highs while the alnico version is warmer with full mids.
