Title: Pick up for distinct nasty aggressive grindy tone!!! (Mahogany)
Post by: Chargrilled on October 13, 2014, 02:53:04 PM

I've stuck some Juggernauts in my 8 and love them - lovely rounded saturated distortion but also very tight, but now I want to put something evil in my Ibanez Apex 2. Something which simply grinds like a buzz saw, no subtlety required. Bearing in mind my guitar has a mahogany body would the Warpig do the job?

Warpig definitely won't do buzzsaw.

You want the Painkiller, or maybe the A-Bomb.

Mahogany / Grindy?  A-Bomb.   Painkiller is probably good too.

If this is your idea of nasty and grindy, then you'll be good to go.

The Juggernaut, by contrast, is much more of a smooth sound.  It can get pounding and aggressive but the A-Bomb is just raunchy in a really pleasing way.  I think you'll be impressed.

Definitely the painkiller.

Of the BKPs I played the Alnico Nailbomb ranked highest in the "aggressive" department.
