Title: Ceramic Warpig and a....?
Post by: Roo on June 06, 2010, 05:48:18 PM
Oi oi peoples,

Some of you may know me from SS.org, but to all I bid thee goodday!

So Pimping out my Maverick F1 to awesome METAWL standards. Ceramic Warpig in the Bridge for tight, brutal metal rffage, but I want a good bit of clean in the neck and a sexy toneful lead tone in there too. Selector is a 3 way.

And now gratuitous pics of F1 courtesy of ROO'S DISCOUNT PHOTO EMPORIUM AND PRETENSION WAREHOUSE:

Curious guitar.

Just thought I'd point out to everyone that I am not the above person!

Ah the maverick a mate of mines got one - pretty decent player.  I kinda like the quirky sideway controls.

I think the classic answer to this (although I've never tried them myself) will most likely be cold sweat.

You may come across a lot of old posts referring to a 'Roo' who is the resident Mr. Roo-I F*$%ing hate Telecasters-bubba who posted above.

Welcome to the forum btw.

i thought you grew tired of raping low powered pickups and finally bought a c-pig! :)

anyway, NEW Roo, how's your guitar made?
a Cold Sweat is always a good choice, anyway!

Well its a basswood body, bolt on neck, 3 piece neck (maple, bubinga, maple) hardtail, 3 way switching. Nothing fancy.

The Alnico Warpig is pretty sweet I thought, Ceramic/Alnic pair? Or what about a Miracle Man?

Ah, good to see alternative Roos on the site. We shall call them Roo "B"  :D

They are interesting guitars. But considering the Daemoness custom I'm having made...

I'm doing everything in my power to make my current axes as best as possible. Because they need to compete with the awesomeness of the Cimmerian 7. So either I pimp them up for hard working guitars and eventually replace them with superior custom versions, or I just out and out sell them Mods and all.

That inlay rules.

Oh, welcome.

I'm gonna have to say c-pig bridge, holy diver neck (for the cleans and sexy leads).

Would that work with the outputs? I don't actually know the output of the c-pig. That would rock intense balls. Am probs going for a Holy Diver VHII combo in another maverick of mine sometime. Vintage beef!

That inlay is rather cool yet not too over the top - me likes.

Output should be fine, should mention that when reading the specs that the resistance doesn't necessarily mean output level you've got to take inductance into matter too but I don't think those are given.

It'll be fine. Doubly so if you get them made at the same time.

I'm supposed to have a C-Pig/A-Pig set, although I have no idea where it is right now in the shipping process. I haven't heard any demos of the neck position A-Pig at all, so we'll see when it gets here. If it's within the next few days, I might even have some influence on your decision.  8)
