Nazgul Rails?

[beerinoculum]

Hey friends - so, needing that CHUNK CHUNK palm mute tone in my B standard band, Bleak Barrow. I currently have a Schecter C-1 platinum with a JB in it, thru an EVH Iconic with a Horizon Devices Precision Drive boost - the JB is great, but lacks the CHOG CHOG grindy, snarling palm mute I desperately need. I have an Invader in another Schecter, but its not as "rattly" as I need - SO! The Nazgul Rails? is it my answer? Huge Dimebag fan, and always relate his insane palm muting chug for reference- are Rail pickups what I should aim for to achieve this? I am highly considering the Nazgul Rails - any tips help! Cheers everybody

Can't speak to the Rails version, but the original Nazgul does the chugga-chug as well as any pickup. There's also the Dimebucker if you really want to lean into the stop-start Pantera sound.

Agreed, even the regular Nazgul would deliver what you're looking for, but I bet the "rails" version is killer!

Interesting to see that the Nazgul Rail uses an Alnico 8 magnet, compared to the ceramic on the standard version. EQ looks to be the same, resistance a tad higher.

The "JB" rails uses an A8 also! Go figure

Weird. Maybe that's just part of how they deliver the increased aggression and bite for the Rails pickups?

Maybe that's what they needed to get the Rails to sound like their non-Railed counterparts.
