Title: Best pickup choice, for ultra death metal riffing!!
Post by: cthulhu on November 03, 2007, 10:16:05 AM
Hi everybody!


I m planning to buy a bridge pickup for my custom made Warlock, with mahogany body, maple neck and ebony fretboard. Floyd Rose incorporated.

My main goal is to achieve a weapon of massive destruction, I will use it for Death Metal chunk and riffing, modern death metal vibe, but with an organic sound on it.


I downtune my guitar to B, and my amplifier is a Bogner Uberschall.

Iīd like a huge but tight bass response, with an evil and mean sound. But also  i need to compensate the nature of the wood and the Uberīs monster lows! So i think maybe a little bright pickup may fit well, but man, i adore lows and grind!

With all this info, which pickup whould you recommend me?


Thanks in advance!!!

Warpig was 1 of my doubts, but...

Ceramic or Alnico?

Will get well with the mahogany and the uber?

Any more suggestions?

Thnx!

The ceramic one is tighter and brighter. The Alnico one is more organic. I think, in your case you should go with ceramic.

What about an overwound Miracle Man? :twisted: I think someone here has one.

That would be me. 23k with double screw pole for more low end  :twisted:

However, I also have a pig and c-pig, and I say C-Pig. The MM is too refined and smooth for DM. The C-Pig is perfect.

Aaaaallright!!

Finally I ordered a few days ago the C-Pig, and yesterday it arrived. Now I only need to install them and go crazy playing!

Hope it does not disapoint me!


Thanks for your help guys!

more importantly, if you're dissatisfied with it, and for some insane reason you don't swap it for something else from Tim, I could take it off your hands! :D
