Ceramic warpig question

[studiojig]

Has anyone ever installed the C-pig bridge pup with the screws facing the neck instead of the bridge side? If so, what was the difference in sound?

[MDV]

The C-Pig has screws/allens in both coils.

[studiojig]

hmm... mine is the black, uncovered one and appears to have only screws and poles

[MDV]

Then its either a custom C-Pig without the normal double screw pole, or its not a pig.

Until now I'd have said that all pigs were double screw pole, but I suppose its not impossible that someone had a normal one made. Did you get the pickup from BK/reputable dealer?

[studiojig]

No, nothing custom about it. It's just an open (non-covered), black c-pig pup. You can get this option straight from the order page?

[MDV]

Even an uncovered pig should be double screw, I'd have thought. Did you order it from BK?

[MDV]

Oh, the answer, regardless of what pickup it is, is you get maybe 25% more lows by flipping a single screw pole around 180 degrees

[studiojig]

No, I got it from a friend who'd ordered a set for his guitar. He decided to switch to EMG's and sold the pigs. I of course bought one.

So, the 25% more lows... would that be evenly distributed or more evident in the treble region (g/b/e strings)? It's the latter I'm wanting to round off a touch.

let me get this straight... he had ceramic warpigs ... and he switched to EMGs .. AND YOU LET HIM?! friends dont let friends use EMGs .. what a tosser  :P

(though i doubt they were pigs, from your description, i think they're miracle men)

Yes they do if it means scoring some BKPs ;)

Exactly!! Well, if it isn't a pig, then he was duped as well. I'd agree however that switching to EMG's from BKP's is hardly fathomable

[studiojig]

So, to the original question, anyone have experience doing this?

Also, if this is indeed a Miracle Man, then would a ceramic pig be even warmer sounding (particularly in the upper/treble region)??

[Davey]

a C-Pig would be even more brutal, even sounding, with a smooth singing top end. pinch harmonics are even easier to pull off and it's super tight in the bass department..

though it is a bit hard, if you dont compare them side by side, cos the MM is still an awesome pickup

[studiojig]

Then I must have one! Hmmm... is there anything special with the magnets in those? I'd like to be able to swap mags if I feel like experimenting
