C-pig vs Mississippi Queen...

[dheim]

i'm not gone mad. well, not more than usual, anyway...
i'm just thinking (but GAS is rising) to buy a LesPaul faded from a friend of mine... the guitar is ok, he's just selling EVERYTHING.
my bridge choice would be a C-Warpig, but i'm curious about the combo i mentioned in thread title... i'm just afraid that a neck MQ could just disappear in such a mix... i've already got an A-pig/Pig90 combo, and i'm looking for something less bassy and grindy on neck...
some advice?

the MQ is slightly hotter than the MM i have in my bridge.

Its really tight for riffing too even with it being a neck pickup still has loads of definition can get very chuggy dpending on how you play.

Really fluid for leads and excellent woody clean tones.

I think it will match perfectly well with a C-pig and i also believe time compensates the wind for them to match whatever its paired with.

thanks for your answer! i know very well the MQs, having a set in my dean caddy, and i really love them! if your MM couples well with the MQ i think that a Pig should do pretty well too... is yours overwound?

[Transcend]

I didnt request it being overwound but Tim may have made it that way as he was pretty set on getting the exact details of my MM so that they would match.

I believe there are a few users on here who actually use a WP+MQ combo i remember seeing some pics anyway.

well, my les paul gothic could possibly be one of those! :)
but its MQ is overwound as HELL  (:twisted:), at 22kohm DCR!

That may just be  one of them its been a while since ive seen any.

What kinda stuff do you play on that Les Paul Dheim? I've fancied a MQ neck in a guitar for a while, but dunno what to stick it in, my les paul could be a plan, with a WP at the bridge, I've usually only seen folk do it with SGs.

besides some home attempt at classic death metal, blues and other stuff, i usually play some kind of almost-progressive-goth-death-doom, that means just that i've got no real idea how to define it! :) i'm currently listening to a band called "in mourning", that's quite comparable to what i play except for some too obvious opeth influence on this song...

Snap.... Tim told me (when i asked about a hotter MQ)that the MQ couldn't fit any more winds in it!

That was for the bridge position... hmm.....

no, it isn't. it's a p90 wound like a Warpig!
just buy an MQ and ask for a pig90 in the custom options box... it seems stuff for a spy movie... :)

that looks really nice!! what do you tune to?

[HTH AMPS]

I went through a stage of trying to get a Pig90 to fit the '67 SG jr I had, but we couldn't get it to work as that particular year has the P90 mounted through the scratchplate, whereas the one's I got from Tim were all screw into the body types (soapbar and dogear).  The clips I've heard of them on this forum are very impressive - awesome grind in the midrange.

I have this combo in a RG550. I asked Tim if I should go with a PIG90 and he told me that the regular MQ matches up quite well with the C-Pig. So no problems here but granted my guitar is basswood.
