Pig bridge and MQ neck?  :P

I think MQs would do the tone of the clip JDC put up pretty well.....

I wouldnt use NBs for that clip.

Its got warpig all over it.

AV warpig.

Never used a neck pig or an MQ so I cant comment, but that tone is A-Pig.

I've been thoroughly enjoying doom on my Edwards Les Paul Custom with a Riff Raff bridge recently, I'm starting to always lean towards lower output pickups for doom/sludge/crust.

Dunno about in a basswood/maple RG though.
