Sludgy, warm tone

I've been watching this one with interest - not my kinda music, but I do have a vague "hmmm... Warpigs, I wonder...?" (I'm interested in that double pole-piece thing as well), and I've also had fun with a big lump of mahogany and getting the "right" BKP into it.

I think it's one of those where it'll be "good shout" either way :D

And like MDV says - let us know how it goes, I'm certainly using threads like this to form my own opinions about what might happen next in my guitar family!

I have changed my mind. AGAIN  :o :lol:

After corresponding with Tim through emails, I think Im gonna go with the alnico one plus 1M Ohm pot to brighten it up, and when I need a tight sound for fast picking parts and such, Im gonna try to tighten it up a bit more with a Digitech Bad Monkey I own (by adding highs?). Also, I hear that the Warpig has, by default, double screw poles and you can apparently adjust them to sound extreme bass-y or extreme treble-y.

Basically, what made up my mind is the juicier and grittier nature of the a5 version, and as you said, excellent cleans.
Fast parts will probably have to suffer, but whatta heck.

Cheers

Fast parts wont 'suffer'. They just wont be as good as the best BKs for fast parts. The A-Pig is no slouch - its very clear and tracks quickly. Just not AS clear or fast as the c-pig, MM, PK and maybe cold sweat.

A5 warpig - without question.
