Difference between Nailbomb and Warpig
« Reply #15 on: June 10, 2006, 09:23:12 PM »
Nailbombs have a more organic open sound than a warpig.  I myself would not consider the warpig louder.  It is voiced differently than the nailbomb.  I think the nailbomb has more midrange making it to the ears louder than the somewhat scooped mids of the warpig.  

The nailbomb is a great high gain all rounder.  Great distortion and great cleans.  

The Warpig is just a beast.  If you like drop tuning and heavy chug sounds the Warpig cant be beat.  thanks

Warpig = '88 Charvel Model 1

Agreed. The Nailbomb truly is a beast for EVERYTHING that a modern guitarist could ask for in a pickup. Whatever style you play, it's great. It really ends up coming down to your amp. It grinds and it's thick but not overly-specialized (at least, if you play rock- any kind of rock- that's how it seems!). Leads are great, though not known as much for that tight smooth lead as much as the Miracle Man is. It is however, more organic and open than the two hotter pickups in the BK range- the Miracle Man and Warpig.

Thancks for all answers. Ok, i am lost :/ i dont know what i could choose like set, warpif, nailbomb or miracle man... they all seem to be very good pickups. I am afraid thats with a set of warpig, i have a little bit too muche bass ( muddy?) and a little bit low middle, with the nailbomb, maybe too much "agressive" and the miracle man, not enought bass...

I just read and listen some stuff about these 3 pickups, maybe what i think is wrong... i just want good pickups for low tunning, i am afraid to do not have enough definition, or not enough bass or too much !

The kind of sound i would like to have is... brutal, sirgical, definite, ultra huge, low end but not too much bass, growly, palm mute sounding like earthquake, and gorgeous clean.(but I know the sound depend too the amp and the guitarist )

Any way, warpig, nailbomb or miracle man seems to be great pickups, the choice is not so easy :/

You have already decided if you look at your previous post.

"brutal, sirgical, definite, ultra huge, low end but not too much bass, growly, palm mute sounding like earthquake"

Everything there is pretty much the description of the warpig. Maybe not sirgical, thats a description thats hard to describe. But i doubt the warpig will be too bassy, i dont think thats Tim`s intension. Take a look at the reviews from total guitar, they should be guiding enough. They neither state that the warpig is too bassy or muddy.

As ive always said, youll never go wrong with a BKP. And once you have bought one, i doubt you will ever go back. And youll be willing to buy several more.
I spy with my bloodshot eye...

I'm in the same boat, tonally too for that matter.  I went with the Warpig's and I'll find out how well they work in little over a week.  I figure if they work out really well then I'll throw some Nailbomb's or Miracle Man's in one of my other guitars.
