Hi
Hmm, simple question, whats the difference between this both pickups ? is it just that the warpig is 22,55K and the nailbomb 16k ? are they many difference ? ( bass, middle...)
thancks
-
Well yeah, the difference is that they're different pickups...The fact that the DC Resistance is different should tell you that they will have different respones to Bass Mids and Treble...
Unfortunately i've not played either so i can't really help much
-
The Warpig has a completely different EQ signature. More bass mostly.
-
The Warpigs have got to be super loud... god damn!
-
Differene is;
I HAVE a set of Warpigs on order (where r they TIM?)
I d'ont have a set of nailbombs on order (yet) :)
-
^ That's the most importand difference...Why don't you have nailbombs on order as well? Lack of money or lack of instruments for them?

Same thing, init?

It has more of everything, lol. In my notes, I characterized the Warpig with the word "Louder". It has a bigger sound than the Nailbomb, but is less percussive.

I'm in the same boat, I'm on day 11 and I want to rip my hair out PDT_038 , I'm considering ordering this set of Nailbombs that are on eBay right now but I have a lack of guitars to put them in.
-
Any one tried warpig in bridge and nailbomb in neck ? whats the difference between set of warpig and set of nailbomb ? and the miracle ?( i know the sound depends to the amp and guitarsit but they must have a little difference )
( sorry for the noob question 8) )
-
Best way forward for you is to ask Tim methinks...Tell him the types of music you want to play and he can recommend which pickups will be best for you :)
-
I think the Warpig has a bit of a scooped EQ, at least a lot of bass. Where it as well is not known as a good lead pickup. And of course its louder, and more brutal!!!
The Nailbomb has, at least mine, lots of mids. It cuts through like a knife and is very clear, though i have not tried the miracle man, but not for long. And its by far the most versatile pickup ive tried. Seriously, it does everything.
-
what does means "scooped EQ" ?
-
Turn up Treble and Bass to max and turn down Mid to min and you get an extreme idea of scooped EQ (I think! :) )
-
If you listen to the "black album" (metallica) youll have a great example of scooped mids. Especially "sad but true"...
-
Nailbombs have a more organic open sound than a warpig. I myself would not consider the warpig louder. It is voiced differently than the nailbomb. I think the nailbomb has more midrange making it to the ears louder than the somewhat scooped mids of the warpig.
The nailbomb is a great high gain all rounder. Great distortion and great cleans.
The Warpig is just a beast. If you like drop tuning and heavy chug sounds the Warpig cant be beat. thanks
-
Agreed. The Nailbomb truly is a beast for EVERYTHING that a modern guitarist could ask for in a pickup. Whatever style you play, it's great. It really ends up coming down to your amp. It grinds and it's thick but not overly-specialized (at least, if you play rock- any kind of rock- that's how it seems!). Leads are great, though not known as much for that tight smooth lead as much as the Miracle Man is. It is however, more organic and open than the two hotter pickups in the BK range- the Miracle Man and Warpig.
-
Thancks for all answers. Ok, i am lost :/ i dont know what i could choose like set, warpif, nailbomb or miracle man... they all seem to be very good pickups. I am afraid thats with a set of warpig, i have a little bit too muche bass ( muddy?) and a little bit low middle, with the nailbomb, maybe too much "agressive" and the miracle man, not enought bass...
I just read and listen some stuff about these 3 pickups, maybe what i think is wrong... i just want good pickups for low tunning, i am afraid to do not have enough definition, or not enough bass or too much !
The kind of sound i would like to have is... brutal, sirgical, definite, ultra huge, low end but not too much bass, growly, palm mute sounding like earthquake, and gorgeous clean.(but I know the sound depend too the amp and the guitarist )
Any way, warpig, nailbomb or miracle man seems to be great pickups, the choice is not so easy :/
-
You have already decided if you look at your previous post.
"brutal, sirgical, definite, ultra huge, low end but not too much bass, growly, palm mute sounding like earthquake"
Everything there is pretty much the description of the warpig. Maybe not sirgical, thats a description thats hard to describe. But i doubt the warpig will be too bassy, i dont think thats Tim`s intension. Take a look at the reviews from total guitar, they should be guiding enough. They neither state that the warpig is too bassy or muddy.
As ive always said, youll never go wrong with a BKP. And once you have bought one, i doubt you will ever go back. And youll be willing to buy several more.

I'm in the same boat, tonally too for that matter. I went with the Warpig's and I'll find out how well they work in little over a week. I figure if they work out really well then I'll throw some Nailbomb's or Miracle Man's in one of my other guitars.
