What sorta gat you looking for now? Hmm, I wonder how my incoming Singlecut would look/sound with a Nailbomb set :twisted:
i'm still after another voodoo,although i wouldn't change the p/u's-maybe a vintage mock when my acc money comes through:) i have a set of warpigs in the moser-which are bareknuckles"metal" p/u's,i wasn't expecting the nail bombs to sound similar...although the BNP website suggests they're a step down from the warpig.

so what was the question again?you alraedy have hot p/u's-running an amp with only one control that you like and won't change AND using a pedal(which was?) AND you have no money.....ive owned a VJ before,pumping a shitload of gain into it is all fine but as soon as the dial goes above 4 your getting major power tube dirt and a mud bath,geez it's only 5 watts,give the wee fella a break.sorry to sound harsh,but your tryin to get a 10 sec quarter mile from a morry minor :D
Vintage Mock? Ahhh you barstard. Almost worth having the accident then? :P

I'll be getting some blackouts for my RG when I get around to putting it back together.

The reviews, sound slips not to mention general buzz has swayed me towards them instead of the EMG's which I have had plenty of time with. No complaints with the EMG's though except that I'm not too keen on an 81 in the bridge..all 85!

Its whats best for you at the end of the day and imoho you really cant go wrong with either as they are both dope.

I'm getting mine off the bay.

Dino Cazares used them on the Devine Heresy album. To see them in action.
