2 Pigs, 2 Queens and a couple of friends.......
« on: October 10, 2005, 01:50:00 AM »
These are my latest pickups, I finally got everything fitted and set up.  The Explorer has a Warpig and Mississippi Queen, both in raw nickel.  The junior is a Pig-90, and the Nial McDonough custom has a Mississippi Queen, Slowhand and Mini-Mule.  The two 3-way switches allow me to get any combination of the 3 pickups, the mini-switch is series/parallel for the mini-Mule and there is a coil tap on the MQ, accessed by a push-pull volume pot.  The body is one piece of walnut, with a flamed walnut neck and ebony fingerboard.

Those guitars look beautiful. How would you describe the sound of the warpig, is it as brutal as everyone says? :twisted:

Looks great. I guess you've beaten me to it. I'm walking around with a similar idea for an explorer. A '79 series Dean Z in classic black with a nickel ceramic Warpig in the bridge and an AV MQ in the neck. (I'm hoping to capture Hetfield's tone on the Black Album). Have to save up some cash again.

How does the explorer sound? Any chance of clips?

I like the Warpig.  It has a lot of bottom end grunt, but it lives up to it's namesake!  It sounds really nice in parallel too, it cleans up really well.  It is a great combination for the MQ, they blend well in the middle setting, and have a nice contrast in tones.

The Pig-90 is amazing too.  Lots of old Black Sabbath tones.  Think Sleeping Village and Wizard.  It is a P-90 with a lot more bass but all the bite :P

Wow Phil, they look great. Spoiled for choice when playing- what a lovely problem to have to solve. The Junior is my favourite. Nice one( or should I say three)

I think Phil just plays 'em in alphabetical order, to keep the rotation going.
