Dark, low - mid type humbucker

[everton_fc]

Hi - am not a fan of treble, and was wondering what BKP humbucker has more of a bass/low mid presence and less highs.

Thanks!

Depends on how much output you want but i think the bkp line provides fat low-middy humbuckers for every output range.
I'd say Black Dog, Crawlers, maybe AV Warpig?

The important thing is: these Fat, growly bkps will never mush or get muddy and undefined... they'll growl and retain clarity, precision/definition, and that's not that common...

Cheers

Yep, I agree with that.  If you want a really dark pickup - without clarity/definition - I don't think BKP make anything to fit the bill.

i find my nailbomb to be quite dark & middy sounding.

hence why i dont like it too much i prefer a brighter sound witha  tad less bass.

holy diver + mahogany guitar

I've never heard a truly 'dark' bk. From teh clips I'd say the holy diver is the closet that still has a fair bit of output.

I dont think the crawlers or nailbombs are dark at all. Middy pickups, with the treble rolled off a little perhaps, but not dark.

The Black Dog in my Explorer is quite dark but the treble is still defined.

I'd say the Alnico Warpig had the smoothest treble response of the BKPs I'd tried so far.

Yeah, HTH, of what I've used in the bridge
(Warpig, C-WP, Painkiller, miracle man, Uber-miracle man, crawler, Nailbomb)
the pig is the closest to what evertons asking for. Its not very close, though. Its got a lot of bass and low mid, but still lots of clear high end and crunch.

It may be a goot bet, though, since its double allen pole by default, you could set it a little further into the body and raise the neck-facing poles a mil or 2 to make the lows very dominant in the tone.

before playing it, i though the alnico warpig was dark, but it's not
the holy diver is a bit darker, especially on downtuning
but it won't make a bright guitar sound dark
the miracle man has a lot of treble edge, but it sounds very dark on mahogany (dark, not smooth)
i tried it on 2 les pauls

I've heard loads of people calling the nailbomb dark sounding recently. Has the spec changed? mine is anything but dark. REALLY bright and high-mid focussed.

listen my clip in the players forum

My treble is up full on that with the bass really low.

I've had a nailbomb in teh last 6 months and it was anthing but dark.

I've just taken out a cold sweat from my esp mirage deluxe and stuck in a nailbomb.  Its a lot brighter.  

I think the nailbomb to me seems quite similar to the rebel yell.  With a little more output.
