Title: Need help deciding, yet another thread on pups for death metal
Post by: BaBaBooeY on July 17, 2009, 10:11:12 AM

Hey guys, first time poster, looking for BKP to be the home for my next of pups. I play extreme death metal - origin, hate eternal,nile stuff.

My current rig

Jackson KV1 - Alder body,maple neckthru / JB/Jazz - Tuning C standard
Engl Powerball / Savage120
vader cabinet

Needs to be tight sounding,. my powerball is pretty dark sounding.

here's my style of playing.

C-pig? or PK?

I've been searching and searching....confused to hell as which will suit my needs best.

I love the PK in my KV2 (I also have a Savage 120) - check out my clips with it here (http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=11926.0) & here (http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=11727.0) (although I only tune to Eb)

It is basically c-pig or pk for that (very similar tastes to mine - I love origin and nile especially).

Origin - PK
Nile - Cipig
Hate eternal - C-Pig

Either will do it, and do it very well. I also use a powerball (through an uberkab with k100s instead of t75s) and find the PK works best of anything with it. Extremely tight, percussive, articulate - I dont think time has a PB, but the voicing of the PK and PB were practically made for each other.

Not a pb, but the pk (double screw pole version) doing some moderately complex br00talz

---------

Totally different music, same channel on a TL, but different settings, modified in cubase (mainly a boost at 3k), same guitar, c-pig.

The second verse is probably the best for what you want. I changed the tone a little for that because its a more metal riff, and needed more articulation.

Question, what's the calibrated pk set? neck and bridge right?

Yes - a calibrated set is a neck & bridge model.
