What would be a good all rounder to fit in my prs tremonti, i want growl but i want a bluesy sound too, friend says warpigs but will they clean up as they have a rep as being a very agressive pup. I rang the other day and talked to Ben he suggested mule or nailbomb,I am very green in this area but like rebel yell,s after looking on this site , I have a marshall 50 watt valvestate....my music tastes vary from foo fighters ,pink floydd ,E.C ,BBking etc please help me Im melting.
Go easy as i say im green ,thanks

mules. nailbombs and warpigs are pretty hot and modern sounding.
-
so do you think the warpigs will clean up for a bluesy tone thanks
-
Of all the BKPs I have, the 1's I'd say were most versatile are either the Mules, Crawler or (to an extent) Abraxas (very similar to a hotter Mule to my ears).
-
I would concur with the Mules suggestion. Very versatile set that will sound absolutely fantastic for the tones you've mentioned.
Warpigs will clean up nicely, but they are way more powerful and thicker-toned than you would want.
-
I am with Nolly on this one. Mules are versatile, great for heavy stuff, also for blues.

You'll find, as you search through this forum, that Mules are extremely popular and very versatile. Like the Mule, the Abraxas is highly versatile but with a good bit more power. The Alnico Nailbomb you mentioned is extremely versatile as well so I can see why it was suggested. The Mule and Abraxas will give you better Blues tones, though the A-Bomb will do that style, but the closer you move towards Metal the more you'll find the Nailbomb feeling at home. The Rebel Yell you said you liked is like a brighter and tighter Nailbomb. I think the Mule is the ideal choice and if you want more power, I'd look at the Abraxas before the Nailbomb.

Keep them coming i am slowly getting a picture of what i want thanks.

every artist you listed plays low/medium output PAF-type humbuckers or single coils. get a calibrated abraxas set (slightly hotter) and a 5-way switch for some single coil tones, or a calibrated mule set and a 3-way switch. tbh tho, just trust whatever the BKP team says.
