As far as I know the Miracle Man and the Warpig neck are the same.. same magnet and wind so...
As for the nailbomb, I dunno.
-
Nailbomb: Mid aggresive and slightly old school metal sounding...
Miracle man: Smoother with a less prominant mids. Tighter and more powerfull lower eq's...
Warpig: Bass heavy with less highs than the other two.
Thats as far as i know

Sorry that's incorrect. Miracle Man and the Warpig are two totally different pickups. MM has a ceramic magnet and the WarPig has an Alnico V magnet. The Nailbomd also has a Alcio V magnet so you might have confused these two. Jonsey gave a pretty acturate description of each pickup though.
-
Sorry, Mr Crowley, but we're talking about the neck pups.
The MM neck is Alnico.
-
When you're right, you're right...
The topic was regarding NECK pickups and I've been knockin' around here for too long.
Thanks Ben.
-
Just going by what this website and Guitar magazines review say. :roll:
I still don't think the Miracle Man and WarPigs are almost the same pup though.
-
You would be right if we were talking about BRIDGE pickups. The two are totally different BUT as we are talking NECK PICKUPS
The calibrated sets offer Warpig neck and MM neck that have an almost exactly similar construction & wind.
I'm outta here now.

I´m asking that about the NECK pickups Because someone said that the warpig and miracle man were the same pickup, minus the different Magnet.(again, for the NECK Slot)
so.. Do You Think the Bridge pickups always sound the same in the neck ? i mean, the pickup characteristics.
thats why i´m asking about then...
i ´m figuring out that my fender, has lots of mids.. because i installed the Duncan Custom 5 in my Charvel, and it lacked mids(It Is a scooped middles pickup), and when i installed it on my fender, it revived the mids .
so... if i´m planning to put a BKP pickup in my CHARVEL... It´s better to choose one with MIDS. cause i´m thinking the Charvel lacks mids.
Charvel has 24´75 short scale and floyd rose.
and the Fender is 25,5 scale, 21 frets.. and Vintage Tremolo bridge.
In theory, both have a Basswood body, but the fender has a blurred mapple Cap. and i´m not sure if the Charvel Fusion is Basswood or Poplar.
The Ibanez has Mahogany body, and i just swaped the original cr@p ibanez qm1 and qm2 pickups(ultra shrill and brighty.)
for Two Duncan Designed Hb103(kinda copy of Duncan Distortions)
and it got a thick sound , lack of highs...
those pickups were in my Schecter Avenger. now replaced with 2 emgs (81/85)
i now see that the schecter iw a Bright guitar too. a Middy/high guitar,
i guess it has a basswood body with A Satin Walnut Cap/finish.
i´m happy with the EMGS.
So, i´m also happy with the duncans, but i´ll change the Charvel pups to a bkp combo.
Trilogy neck(100% sure) and maybe a Nailbomb or a Painkiller. in last case.. the Warpig.
Also, the charvel has a good amount of Highs. beautiful highs.
any consideration and tips for these guitars? Ibanez and Charvel(the ones i plan to change pickups)?!!?
Hails and thank´s for the tips

ok, but now i´m talking serious..
i tried to explain what tones are natural in my 4 guitars
and i´m thinking in using bkps for two of them
Ibanez and Charvel.
and i asked for help...
my thoughts : Ibanez B tuned, Warpig - Nailbomb neck.
Charvel - Painkiller or Nailbomb - Trilogy Neck.
??!?!?!
-

WFD Said

Ahh no, no, no. You are cunning my Brazilian friend!
You're not dragging me back into this thread anymore! PDT_023
BKP don't even make the bloody Painkiller yet!!!!!
IT'S A PROTOTYPE...
(Shh.. don't anybody mention to WFD but Tim told somebody who is a friend of my former hairdresser's doctor that he was working on an extreme metal pickup that would render the current catalogue obsolete... If ever launched, this pickup would only be sold to people with 1000 posts who met him at the crossroads at midnight) :evil:

Sounds like good advise JP, now buy them or you will be sent to Coventry!!
Just think of all the clips you can post up!
-

As for the nailbomb, I dunno.
Warpigs are massively overwound alnico v. Miracle Mans are ceramic. There will be a difference!
-
Sorry, Mr Crowley, but we're talking about the neck pups.
The MM neck is Alnico.
Where did you get this from?
(You could be right, it's just not posted anywhere)
-
The Ibanez has Mahogany body, and i just swaped the original cr@p ibanez qm1 and qm2 pickups(ultra shrill and brighty.)
for Two Duncan Designed Hb103(kinda copy of Duncan Distortions)
and it got a thick sound , lack of highs...
That's the problem I have with almost all Duncan pickups.
-
Really... for the last time
MM NECK & WARPIG NECK ARE ALNICO
The word to remember here is.... wait for it..... it's not a secret.....
NECK!!!!!!!!
