Pigged MQ
« on: September 21, 2005, 01:39:20 PM »
Hi Guys,

Quick question, what is the difference in sound between the MQ and the pigged MQ?

I think it's just the look...could be wrong!

I thought it was just the look but then thought if the MQ had a row of allen bolts instead of screws it might change the sound.  I'm guessing the MQ pig looks like the Pig-90 but humbucker sized...

The MQ is a p90 in a humbucker size, the original Pig90 was a regular sized P90

True

This is how I see it

1. MQ = sound of original P-90 in humbucker size
2. Pig-90 = a mix between the Warpig and the Sinner single coil. Extremely high output. Dogear or soapbox size
3. MQ Pig = ????  

Is the MQ Pig just the same sound as an MQ but with a pig cover?  If yes, then is it possible to get a Pig-90 sound out of a regular size humbucker?

I think the Mississippi Pig is the same as the Pig90. Only the shape is different.

The Mississippi Queen bridge is a BKP91, ALnico V powered P90, the neck MQ is underwound and powered by Alnico IV, as per usual we can custom tweak to requirements.Lovely sounding pickups and a great intro to P90 tone for those who up to now haven't be able to due the size of a P90.
