Warpigs Installed!
« on: March 01, 2008, 12:42:27 AM »
:guitar4:  :band1:
So after not being able to wire them in my Greco LP copy from my thread in the tech forum I had an epiphany.  I've had this Jackson SLSMG for a while now and it's always been too bright since the person I bought it from had a JB and Jazz installed with 1meg pots.  Having this set of Warpigs lying there and not being able to put them in was getting to me so I looked left...looked right.....

...nobody around.  Ran to the basement and fired up the soldering iron, IT'S GO TIME!

After my experience with trying to completely rewire a LP from scratch this was like giving candy to a baby.  De-solder 4 connections, remove duncans, put in BK's, solder 4 connections.  PIE.

1meg pots aren't for everybody but for me, with the Warpigs, fuhgeddabahdit :twisted:   They darkened up the sound the perfect amount for me.  I can also see how adjustable these are as people have said.  I was doing more tweaking than a crackhead taking a history test.  Admitedly I was slightly skeptical of peoples comments of BKP's in general but they really are IT.  I just want to play all night but I have 2 parties to go to. :shock:   More tomorrow with pics, it's a beautiful thing.

These things are amazing.  Clear, heavy, tight, EVERYTHING!  There was somebody here a while ago that wanted to do metal rhythm on the neck pickup and I didn't think it would sound good...until now.  It's even tight and huge sounding on the neck pickup!  The volume roll-off is sweet too.  Gets very clean and its so smooth and even throughout the range of the pot.  I'm a believer!  I HAVE the power! amen.

Thanks!
I think the black and the "battle scars" of the pickup goes PERFECTLY with the ebony board and piranha inlays.  I am one happy dude

Look for 'em in the players section in a few days.  I came up with a few things for our band that I'm looking to record soon.  The recording quality will be bad though...all I have is a very cheap mic directly into the soundcard.  I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to recording :oops:

That's the way I was. :wink:   I thought to myself, I'm sure they're good but they can't be as good as what these crazy people are saying on this forum.  Well...now I'm crazy too. :crzy:

WFD:  I'll work on some clips tomorrow ;)

What finish is that on the pups?  Battle scars and black?  Was that a special request?

They look awesome.  More tasteful that a Warpig shoud EVER look!!!

Thanks guys.  And thanks to Hermz for putting one on his guitar and giving me the idea.  I just asked for the battle-worn black finish.  I don't remember if I put a link to Hermz's battle-worn black pickups or not when ordering, but it can't hurt to put a link to a pic if you're ordering them.
