in your opinion...
which do you think is the most metal humbucker BKP can offer?
and why?
:twisted:\m/
-
Well now that all depends on what you mean by 'Metal'.
Are we talking the classic stuff like Black Sabbath?
NWOBHM stuff like Iron Maiden?
American 80s stuff like W.A.S.P. or Poison?
Early Thrash like Megadeth and Metalica?
Then of course there's Death Metal, Black Metal and a ton of other stuff.
Hell, I even know people who (for some insane reason) think Bon Jovi are Metal :shock: .

well... I said it is in your opinion... so it is YOUR metal opinion :D

Painkiller

MiracleMan

Miracle Man!!

Once I said Tim that the Miracle Man, the Warpig and the Painkiller would be BKP's Heavier-than-Hell Trinity. :twisted:

Warpig

Ceramic warpig :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

what about the Nailbomb???

what about the Nailbomb???
My Nailbomb can do almost any kind of metal quite easily but the question was "the most metal" BKP humbucker, lol. The Nailbomb is very metal but not as metal as a Miracle Man or Warpig, lol... :lol: IMO, of course...
-
really? because IMO the majority of Nailbomb sound clips are wayyy better than the warpig ones, but im not sure of the MM. The Warpig just sounded weaker than the Nailbomb.
-
To me, the nailbomb hits the spot on this one. The strong mid grind just breathes 'metal'.

Holy Diver :guitar4:
& before you accuse me of thinking that Bon Jovi are metal, I refer you to my first HD clip (http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5555) & my comment at the end of that thread:
Actually, I think Tim is missing a trick (from a marketing perspective) with the name Holy Diver - When I think "Dio", I think of lights/pyros, Vinnie Appice's massive drum kit, & little Ronnie smiting papier maché dragons with his plastic sword :lol: but I don't always remember that before he became anonymous in Def Leppard, Vinnie Campbell was a serious lead guitarist who could shred with the best of them - perhaps that was what Tim had in mind when he chose the name... :)
Actually, I picked it because I knew nobody else would (how metal is that? :)) - I can shred, thrash, grind, sludge, scream & bludgeon with it so it meets most of my metal needs :twisted:
-
Warpig. No questions asked. Black Sab was the first (and best ) metal band, the pig sounds like sab therefor it is best. :]
-
Strangely enough I can actually get a better Sabbath sound from my Black Dog than I can from my Warpig.
As for my type of Metal, well that would be the 80s stuff, so my vote would go to the Holy Diver.

Could that be because the BD is closer to what Iommi actually used?
As has been stated on this forum before, the name "Warpig" is more a statement of attitude than an attempt by Tim to capture the original Sabbath sound. I doubt whether a creation as monstrous as the WP had even been thought of in the early '70s :twisted:
-
I think you're right Antag, I don't think even his current signature pickups are all that high in output, let alone his old ones. I'm sure he used P90s sometimes in the early days as well.
He almost used single coils, but his Strat broke just when they started recording the first album so he used the SG. Just think, if that Strat hadn't broken we'd be here right now trying to decide what was the best Metal pickup, the Apache or the Mothers Milk :lol:
