They were the original DiMarzio made IBZ/USA pickups on Bill's S, so I'm led to believe. Amps were 5150 and Marshall 30th Anniversary.

From what I can recall, Bill used a standard Ibanez JS into an Anniversary Marshall half stack (in the studio at least), I certainly don't recall seeing a 5150 unless he only used it on stage. I think it was a higher end JS, and would have had DiMarzio's in as stock.

The Miracle man neck is the same as a warpig neck.
The NB neck would be ok, but I'd still stick with the calibrated set of Warpigs.
We don’t advise putting any of our bridge humbuckers in the neck position, that’s why each model has its own specially designed neck, to compliment the bridge perfectly.

Strange, I signed up today to make this exact thread. I definately want to put some BKPs in my guitar, and IMO, the Heartwork album had the best metal lead tone ever, it would be amazing to get close to their tone.

I just really want to hear some higher quality sound clips of War pigs, especially in the neck, because although they sound like what i'm after, the clips i've heard haven't impressed me too much. I wish they were more widely used  :cry:

The Warpigs are one of our best selling pickups; you just have to remember that not everybody has access to recording equipment!
We have sold literally hundreds of Warpigs... and so far not a single complaint!

hails Steve.. you said that. the warpig neck is the same of the miracle man neck!?
can you confirm that ... The Warpig Is free of the  Unbalanced(something like more bass and middles in such a level that bury the highs?)frequencies? Highs buried by bass and middles ?!
Hails
i just want to be sure of that. so i can order 2 BKP pickups. instead of just one .
Miracle man for the black charvel, and warpig for the next one.

Yeah, I'm not surprised you've had no complaints, i've heard nothing but great things about them. I'm more than 90% sure I'll end up getting them, but it would just be nice to have a bit more to seal the deal, you know? Ah well, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. It just a matter of finding the cash now.

I haven't actually heard anything about the neck warpig model. My primary use of the neck pickup is for high gain leads, in the style of necrophagist, obituary, carcass etc. so would a warpig be the best choice for that? I do use cleans quite often, but I have other guitars I can use for that, so I wouldn't mind sacrificing the cleans a bit for a great lead tone.

That tone comes from A LOT of amp layers. Something full sounding would probably do the trick here, miracle man?

It is?

Either way, a warpig(/MM) neck is an absolute must, heartwork is the album I usually reference when people ask me what sort of sound the pickup has, it's just beyond perfect for the thick, condensed-milky high gain leads that heartwork has. The bridge is good too, not sure if you'd be better off with a ceramic or not though.

The pig neck is more of a no brainer to me than a pig bridge, so if you're set on a pig bridge you simply have to make it a set. I'd make some clips, but unfortunately my recording setup is missing a few things at the moment. Things like a mic, and a PC interface, and a PC with a firewire port/decent soundcard, and a recording program...

They played on Super distortion dimarzio for heartwork.

I guess warpig alnico should be nice, or a nailbomb on a all-mahogany guitar, cause of the sound's pretty huge bass on this album. For the neck I think nailbomb because the cold sweat is too pure (like petrucci tones) whereas heartwork solo's tones is heavier, a little muddy, dirty ==>hot rail seymour!.

I Thought to this song song this morning (especially the song death certificate), and I conclude Warpig/nailbomb on my RR3 jackson for it.

And for the studio, this was jcm900 and 5150 to split (this is waht the sound is very open in low mids).
