Same here, but i went for the miracle man as the warpig always seemed to be too hot to me, but i am gradually going lower ouput with my pickups as my next set is gonna be a cold sweat set.

I think WP's will do the job very nicely. They are high output but are amazingly versatile. They have tones of bottom end for that great chunk sound, but not uncontrollable. When the end of the world comes the minstrals will be playing Warpigs  :twisted:

Enjoy!

Pics or it don't exist! (Isn't existentialism fun?)

That shoe! LOL

Post by: AndyR on October 20, 2008, 07:14:12 PM
:lol: I've tried all sorts of stuff, but not a shoe yet...

Am I right in thinking it looks like you're gradually losing all the gold hardware? I went out looking for an Epi Explorer a while back, but was put off by the gold stuff - not enough to stop me buying, but when we finally found one (actually two), there was dark cherry Gibson Explorer next to it that my wife thought was prettier, so I ended up getting that instead :roll:. I've wondered ever since whether the Epi and a bunch of hardware might have been a better deal... (luckily I quite like the Gibbo itself, plays real nice :D)

Anyway, welcome to the forum - don't peak too soon, you'll be worn out by the time they warpigs arrive :lol:

LOL at the shoe... :D

I'm not a huge fan of explorers, but it should sound great with some Pigs in :)

Also, did you get Alnico or Ceramic warpigs?

There's nothing quite like it when that little box arrives, is there? :D

Looking good.

What do you mean they get fitted Saturday?! You are going to wait! I'd have a hot iron 5 minutes after the box hit the mat.

What finish is that? It doesn't look like a matt finish?

I take it that you like them then?

Have you tried backing off from the face melting stuff yet? Warpigs are very versatile and can add a little something to rock as well as metal.
