Searching a very warm neck pickup !

No the Nailbomb neck is a totally different pickup altogether wound with plain enamel. The Warpig neck is based around the Miracle Man V neck pickup and the twin allen bolts deliver the same bottom end performance as the Warpig bridge.
Having just finished a couple of hours practice on my Foster LP with a MM V neck, I absolutely adore it's tone both dirty and clean.For such a high gain humbucker it's amazing how it performs in the neck slot, it's so clear and articulate!

Thanks Tim.  I just finished the Explorer with Warpig and Mississippi Queen.  It was a bitch to rewire but was worth it.

I had to play Iron Man, Warpig, NIB and Back Sabbath - the pickup made me  :twisted:

But the reason I put this here is that the Mississippi Queen works great in the neck with the Warpig.  They are very balanced and it gives such a creamy single coil sound.  Now I just have to find a hum free spot in the house to record some things!  It is not as bad as the Strats, but I have a very noisy house.
So many pickups, so little time

Phil, can you post some pics of that explorer and maybe a clip? Sounds like that guitar is ruthless.

Definately...........it sings like a bird.Lots of sustain but nice and articulate too so you still catch the pick attack.
