Title: Question about differences between neck and bridge out of the same set
Post by: riffsnreviews on June 01, 2017, 06:48:58 PM

Hello all,

I have a little question. So I "broke" up my set of warpigs (alnico V) I put my warpig bridge in one guitar combined with a seymour 59 neck, and so I put the warpig neck in neck position into my LP combined with a SH4 in the bridge, I don't really like the SH4, so I thought, hum i'll try the warpig neck in the bridge position, and it turns out it works really well, I get a nice "thump" with the warpig neck in bridge position, and it still remains articulated and everything.

So I was wondering, when BKP make sets (in this case the warpigs), are the bridge and neck pickups essentially the same in construction just the neck having less output, but the general EQ and characteristics remain the same ?

No, they are generally different.  Often very different (e.g., Emerald set)

With regard to the EQ, BKP only provides the charts for the bridge pickups, much to the annoyance of everyone.

Some sets are substantially different.  Crawler, Juggernaut, Emerald, etc.

i always wanted to try a neck warpig in the bridge
all my experiments with neck bkps in the bridge worked really well
the neck VHII, neck cold sweat and neck miracle man are some of the best sounding pickups I ever had in the bridge position, including bkp bridge models
