Title: Pig-90 and the Warpig
Post by: Shag101 on November 07, 2005, 08:54:57 PM

Hi guys,

I asked this question a couple of times but was not able to get the answer.  
Does anyone know the difference in sound from a Pig-90 and a warpig?

Anyone?

I am basically looking to see if the PIG-90 has as much output and low end as a regular warpig, but with more bite since its a P-90??

Is a PIG-90 a good chug machine?

The Pig90 has the same output as the warpig but will have the charicteristics of a single coil.
The Warpig would be better for chugging.

thanks steve,

would it be correct to say the pig90 sounds like a sinner just with a bigger fuller punch feeling??

Yes, it would be more powerfull because of the two bar magnets in it.

Do your new queens not give you an Iommi sound?  I'm hoping
the Pig-90 will give me a sound that Iommi would have if he went nuMetal.  haha

Hey BKP Guys,

Is that a good comparison?  Is a pig-90 the sound Iommi would have in a numetal band?

I am ordering my pups tomorrow.  Cant wait.

Do remember to phone the oracles of BKP up to discuss tone and guitar - it is worth it as you get just want you want! (sorry guys, just cost you more work! :D )

My Queens are in a maple hollow body, that's quite different from a LP or SG. They have an 8K output wich isn't quite enough for Sabbath. With plenty of overdrive I can get them to sound a bit like Children of the Grave, though.

Thanks Guys,

Today should be the day I order my set.  I think I'm going to get the PhilKing setup since he says it sounds great.  A warpig bridge and a mississippi queen neck.  My SG is not to far away from his explorer so the sounds should be comparable.  

There are so many great options from BKP, but I think I will always have that urge of the beast, so warpig is the way i will go.
