Hey guys,
Sorry for asking this again, but I'm getting more and more into metal, and my current pickups aren't cutting it. I recently got a Nailbomb set for my SG (chickening out of getting a Warpig set), and while they do sound alright for the blues/rock I had been playing, they're lacking the "cut" and articulation that I need for metal leads, and the rhythm tones are too round and lacking grind - in short, they're "rock" not "metal".
My ultimate rhythm tones are those on Evergrey's album Torn (especially the intro to "These Scars") or those in Nevermore's "The River Dragon Has Come", and my ultimate lead tones are basically any of the leads on Dream Evil's Dragonslayer. I realise it may be a big call to get those tones from one set of pickups, but the more important part of the equation is the rhythm - as my Viper has a Blackout set that can cover the leads.
Naturally, I got thinking about Warpigs, but I'm not 100% certain they fit the bill, and I'm not sure whether I need A-Pigs or C-Pigs. What do you think? How would you describe the difference between the two? Are there other BKPs that I should be looking at?
Thanks in advance.
