Title: Best BKP for down tuning
Post by: matarroano on April 17, 2015, 03:37:16 PM

So, which bridge BKP humbucker would you recommend for some heavy downtuning, standard B, doom riffage? Thanks in advace.

I would have said the Aftermath, until you put Doom Riffage, in which case the Warpig :)

I'd say Aftermath but it's not really a style I play.

definitely NOT the aftermath
it sucks out a lot of bass from the lowest string and that's quite UNdoomy
I love the miracle man in B

I want to say Stockholm because of the low end definition of P90s and the modern voicing of the SH. This goes especially for a naturally middy guitar. For doom a Pig90 would also be something to consider as a Warpig with a different bottom definition and overall agression. Could work amazingly and let you stick out just in the right way.

I just know that the Stockholm in my modern LP style can deal with drop A# in In Flames style or one step up for Machine Head well. Defined yet raw agression. I have yet to find a better modern metal pub for me than this. It is just so alive and angry...if you want it to.

All good suggestions! I would also add the Black Dog because you seem to see a lot of people with them in baritone and extended range guitars (I play 7-strings and love my Black Dog).
