yep. mine clocks in at 21.6K :twisted:

too bassy? turn the bass knob down :lol:
it's fine, it does get too bassy if you overdo the bass (i.e. if the previous pickup had none and you turned the amp's bass up beforehand to compensate)
my bass is on 5 at the moment, it's perfect and tight, whilst being hammering and not overwhelming :twisted:

Alright, thanks a lot guys, sounds like the Ceramic Warpig is for me. Is the cold sweat the best to put in the neck for lead playing then?

I've got a Miracle Man in my PRS Standard 24 and alot of the time I play the styles that you do. I also have an ENGL powerball. Personally I think the Warpig would be total overkill. It's not really geared towards the thing you are looking for (I had a warpig before and didn't think it suited it too well) where as the Miracle Man would do that. Very smooth but biting high end, chunky low end and a good amount of mids in there.

As you will be getting an ENGL at some point, the amount of low end already in those amps is going to be plenty, I wouldn't suggest going with the Warpig as you're going to get a massive amount of low end added to an already massive sounding signal.

what's wrong with turning the bass on the amp down...?

Even when turning the bass down on the Powerball, there's still a huge amount of low end in there and it's still tight with the Miracle Man.

that's because of the voicing and magnet type of the pickup. it's a ceramic. the ceramic warpig is very tight like the miracle man. they are supposed to be very similar, just the ceramic warpig has more output and a little more aggressive sounding. the regular alnico warpig is supposed to be a little more bassy and raw and not as tight. I think the poster said he was going to go with the ceramic warpig, not the regular warpig. I do agree with you though.... just from what I've heard about the alnico warpig, I would stay away from it.... but either way, the powerball is supposed to be a very tight amp...

lol I'm about to get a bogner uberschall, so I need all the tightness I can get :lol:

Thanks for the advice guys.

maliciousteve, did you use the alnico or ceramic warpig before? And when you say biting high end on the miracle man, does it get harsh or does the pickup still sound fluid?
