Members Jcm800_6550 Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 which is best for hard rock/ metal, i play through a mohogany les paul (epiphone) then playing that through a boosted 1981 jcm800 2204, i play in standard tuning and sometimes 1/2 step down, but usually no lower than that, I want the pickup to have a really Thick Girthy sound(im guessing lots of mids and bass?) and have lots of pull and drive to it wile containing clarity, Thanks guys i appreciate your help:wave: Edit: Now just Painkiller vs Miracle man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevePage Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 The Miracle Man sounds like the one you'd be looking for. The Painkiller has alot more mids and is very very tight. The Warpig has more bass than the Miracle Man but not as tight. The Miracle Man is a good balance between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ::fred:: Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 I wish BNP listed more info on their pickups.. especially the bass/mids/treble charts like the SDs or DiMarzios.. I mean, all these descriptions are basically cliches.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scottcrud Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 None of the above. WRC Iron Man all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHive Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 BTW the Warpig can be used with a few different magnets. Their ceramic magnet is tighter than the standard alnico... or something. Email them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dimebag11 Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 I liked the Nailbomb I had fwiw.....still not as big sounding as a typical Gibson PAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevePage Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 I liked the Nailbomb I had fwiw.....still not as big sounding as a typical Gibson PAF. For the PAF sound you'd want The Mule. Which is Bareknuckles version of the 50's PAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chrisjd Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 I would go with the painkiller for sure. I love ceramic. The warpig would be too hot for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raysus Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 Even though it's not in the choices you've listed, you've described the Nailbomb exactly, it's clear, thick, and has a lot of bass and mids. The Miracle Man I'd say is really tight and sounds quite modern, but is a bit scooped, and the Painkiller has a lot of mids and is even a bit tighter but doesn't have the thick bass you're describing.
