Would it be possible to make a warpig with a Ceramic magnet is so what would this be like?

I'm pretty sure you can order a ceramic warpig. I think it has a tighter bass, sounds a little less organic (than the alnico V warpig), etc., but this is just from hearsay.

But on a more serious note, I've no doubt that'd sound rather monstrous, well the pig does anyway, prehaps monstrouser?

Isnt the ceramic WP underwound by a few K to get the same output? (and, presumably, still a cat in hells chance at a clean :lol: )

Sometimes and in particular this case, overwinding causes the pickup to have too much compression so it doesn't 'feel' any heavier-over compression can have the opposite effect and make things sound smaller.
