Best pickups for Caparison TAT II
« on: September 06, 2013, 11:42:36 AM »
I just ordered a new TAT II and was considering getting my first set of BKP. I'm considering the Warpig calibrated set, but was looking for any other recommendations.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi and welcome!

Before we can recommend anything we would need more info on what you need. What style do you play? What is your amp? What kind of tone do strife for?

Also it might be good to wait until you got the axe and see how it sounds acousticly as that makes a big difference.
BKPs in use: 10th set / RY set / Holy Diver b, Emerald n / Crawler bridge, Slowhand mid MQ neck/ Manhattan n
On the sidelines: Stockholm b / Suppermassive n, Mule n, AM set, IT mid

I'll assume you play metal
the holy diver seems to be the most common choice for caparison owners
Riff Raff, Mules, Black Dog, VHII's, Cold Sweat

Thanks for the welcome. I should have included that info in my first post, DOH.

I play metal and hard rock almost exclusively. My amp is a Mesa Mark V combo. Primarily looking for Hetfield's tone from Puppets and Justice.

Cheers
