So I really dont like my nailbomb neck.. ive messed with it considerably and its cleans are good but idc too much about cleans... I want something more aggressive... Where i can hear the pick attack... jazz ceramic maybe? Also with the jazz ceramic could i maybe pull of some pinch harmonics in the neck?
 
Re: Best shredding neck pickup that has tons of pick attack and aggression?

I don't think I would be a fan of a Jazz with a ceramic but since I have never tried it I do not know for sure. The standard Jazz with the A5 is pretty awesome but maybe you are looking for something along the lines of using a Screamin' Demon in the neck.

You should be able to pull off pinch harmonics with any pickup. It is about the technique not the pickup.

I can, it just doesnt go crazy like the bridge pickup... i can pull off squeals pretty easy and have a good pinching technique... but on the neck most of the harmonics are smoothed out...

I heard it sounds alot like a single coil?
 
Re: Best shredding neck pickup that has tons of pick attack and aggression?

Hmm, wouldnt that be too much for my nailbomb? Remember they have to be somewhat matched... Also i should add that i really dig the transparency thing that ive heard the jazz has... the aftermath neck has it... sorta fender ish... but i still want tons of attack and to be matched with my nailbomb..

I don't know what is your guitar PUPs configuration, but the SHR-1 is my favorite neck pickup so far. My next pickup for the neck is going to be a Screamin Demon paired with a TB-5. I pair the SHR-1 with a Nazgul in the bridge.

Black Winter, Jazz and Paf Pro are among the pickups I've found that have great attack in the neck position.
 
Re: Best shredding neck pickup that has tons of pick attack and aggression?

Yea the black winter ive heard alot of, how does it compare to the jazz? Im assuming its maybe more aggressive than the jazz because of its higher output and ceramic magnet.

Dude screamin demon neck all day for what you want
 
Re: Best shredding neck pickup that has tons of pick attack and aggression?

Yea but wouldnt it be abit too much? Like if i had a warpig or invader than id do it in a heartbeat but honestly my nailbomb isnt all that high output, like my pegasus is higher output...
 
Re: Best shredding neck pickup that has tons of pick attack and aggression?

This is exactly what I thought from your description.
 
Re: Best shredding neck pickup that has tons of pick attack and aggression?

the screaming demon or jazz ceramic?
 
Re: Best shredding neck pickup that has tons of pick attack and aggression?

Full shred neck is not the high of an output.

It has plenty of pick attack too.
 
Re: Best shredding neck pickup that has tons of pick attack and aggression?

The Full shred neck has great note separation, but I don't think of it as emphasizing pick attack. What comes to my mind is the PAF Pro and the Screaming Demon.
 
Re: Best shredding neck pickup that has tons of pick attack and aggression?

wouldnt that be way too bassy, also the jb is higher output than my nailbomb...
