SEYMOUR DUNCAN NAZGUL DEMO!

[@themelnibonean7017]

Nazgul bridge and Black Winter neck it is ultimate metal \m/

[@angusorvid8840]

Elric, you'll wake the neighbors!

[@Skwisgaarz666]

I was actually really considering doing this. Is that setup legit?

[@voidist1]

I planned on doing that as well. Glad to hear it's a nice pairing.

[@ratonlucho]

Exactly what I was thinking lml

[@cyclops1092]

Installing that exact set up in my Jackson today

[@edcabrera5687]

Hahaha yeah that really is more of a Hank Williams tone lmaooooo

[@oldhollywoodbriar]

The mosh pits at the Hank Williams shows were vibe.

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

I had the Nazgül/Sentient pickups in a Jackson 7 string I sold to a good friend of mine. Looking back I really enjoyed the midrange character that the Nazgül had, and if I knew back then how to get a proper, usable Rhythm tone in a practical practice environment, I would’ve bought another set for one of my current guitars sooner. That and I’m obsessed with what Fishman is doing with the Fluence line.

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Awesome

[@7AKV7]

I use fluence pickups now (modern ones) on my 8 string and I really want to swap em on Nazgul ASAP. Too honky and midrange for a low djenty tone and you can't even fix it with EQ. Too much resonances in midrange that are just killing the tone on low strings. Everything that is higher than B is good but not lower for sure.

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

@@7AKV7 have you tried using an amplifier or even amp model based off of anything like a Dual Rec or a similar amplifier with more naturally scooped mids? I've always found that those pickups work best in those kind of amps, as well as maybe tightening things up with something along the lines of an SD-1 on voice 1 to tighten things up for lower tunings. That, or i'd just put a graphic eq in front of my amp or amp model and cut any of the frequencies closest to 160hz and slightly boost the frequencies closest to 800hz depending on which graphic eq pedal you're using. If it's something you haven't tried, it's definitely worth a shot.

[@NateTEHbutcher]

Hey did you happen to buy this Horizon in the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area? 99% sure its my old guitar.

[@angusorvid8840]

One hell of a crunch monster. Great pickup.

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Love it.

[@BrianAndersonTT]

Best bang for buck passive chug monster. All the others are $200 - $250 each!! (BKP Rags, SD Scourge).

[@SamothOFbannsverkMC]

Allright, help me out. I play Black Metal, and I need some new pickups. Right now on my list, I got Seymour Duncan Nazgûl and Seymour Duncan Black Winter. Which one should I choose?

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Nazgul sentient combo. Hands down best pickups I've ever played. Blows bare knuckles out of the water.

[@SamothOFbannsverkMC]

John Ratchetstrap awesome dude! Think I’ll end up on the Nazgul then, they seem pretty Nice 👍🏻

[@Burak_Guitar_World]

Nazgul on the bridge and black winter on the neck mean a monster 👹

[@grangerousdesigns4678]

Wow!Those pickups sound violent as fuck.Im definitely going with those.

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

My 6 string set just got here today. Putting them in a schecter apocalypse 6 string. Cant wait.

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Good luck!

[@Grand_Alchemist]

Demo starts at @1:51

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

I was also going to buy a set a bareknuckle nailbomb cold sweat and then decided to go with the nazgul sentient set. Cause getting the bareknuckles would of been over $300 us just to get them and have them installed. Plus keith Merrow voiced the nazgul so you cant go wrong with merrow involved.

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Love my set

[@f7viivvgiv]

Clean arpeggio tab Or song please?

[@MrLuckypills]

can u put a chrome cover over these pickups?

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Yeah. What he said

[@redsage9383]

I wanna replace the super distortion in my dk24 as it scoops the mids out. Unsure if there would be issues with the hss setup. Anyone have any opinions?

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Go for it!

[@gibsonfan159]

Not sure if you've already got them but I have a video on my channel of the Nazgul bridge in a dk24 hh

[@Shredder-KJ]

I ordered these for my Steve vai sighn guitar

[@ericdoherty5976]

would this work well in a chapman ghost fret? (mahogany body)

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Absolutely! This pickup will sound killer in most guitars!

[@Chris-th4im]

Hey john! Just discovered you! Nice video bro! Awesome pickup... you ok Got another subscriber. And ordered this pickup because of you.. keep rocking 🤘😎🎸

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Awesome!

[@allthingspaper2424]

I'm thinking about getting a nazgul set for my 7 string schecter demon 7 (with stock pickups). Is it a good option for low tunings and a heavy / djentey sound?

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

That's exactly what they were made for.

[@allthingspaper2424]

RAK Recordings ayy thanks man I'll get a pair

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Not a problem! While I've never used a sentient, the nazgul absolutely screams! It also sounds so so good through a clean channel.

[@allthingspaper2424]

RAK Recordings alright, and it doesn't have a ton of extra feedback noise when you're not playing does it?

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

No. But make sure to insulate the pickup cavity with foil tape.

[@hensleytyler24]

Watching the video hoping this guy agrees to trade me for his coil split Nazgul pickup Mitchell tomorrow lol. To hell with the sh-5 I planned on going with.

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Did it work?

[@supervincemus]

Thanks man. Keep making great videos

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

Thanks for being here!

[@Vegenks]

What’s the outro riff?

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@28rwags]

I know you are joking by saying its not for Metal. You have to remember Keith Merrow voiced that pickup. That was his baby before Fishman.

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

I meant the single coil split of the bridge humbucker isnt for metal.

[@kevinbrooks6265]

he meant the single coil mode.

[@donperro2095]

Please explain to me how the hell its not meant for Metal? because if you ask me on the low end sounds freaking excellent. Country or Blues? Crunch? absolutely NOT lmao, definely designed for Metal.

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

The coil split is not made for metal

[@donperro2095]

Always beware of people who say "X pickup isn't for MeTaL" they usually don't know shit

[@nickcrane8329]

The name- Nazgul comes from the ring wraiths from Lord of the Rings, so yeah this pickup is metal as fuck

[@NathanielBTM]

lol down and dirty riff. I'll also have to say... If you dial in the single coil tone correctly for distortion... it can sound absolutely disgusting... in all the right ways... for low tuned djenty stuff.

[@RatchetstrapMedia]

What riff is that?
