Hails Guys!!!

JUST A simple question.. can you point me a similar Seymour duncan BRIDGE pickup that has the same kind of tightness in the bass as the Nailbomb and Warpig has?
for an example.. " Nailbomb has a similar bass tightness as a seymour duncan model %¨&¨**" etc

" Warpig has a similar bass tightness as a seymour duncan model %¨&¨**" etc
Hails and thanks

i just want to have some idea of how tight are those 2 bkp pickups in comparison to the duncans, since the majority of the pickups i played are Duncans.. and a few dimarzios.

Haha, you're really taking your time deciding aren't you? I'll try and get a recording up demonstrating some tight heavy warpig tone, possibly tonight.

Well SD dont do a humbucker as high output as a Warpig, so you'll find it hard to compare.

Not even the Livewires?? :o

The Livewires are active, they work in a very different way to a passive humbucker.

yeah, obviously they work differently - but does the active circuit not boost the output, to make it higher than it could be with a passive humbucker?

YEAH.. any of you didn´t answer me yet, ahahah SORRY
what i want to do, is ONLY related to Bass tightness
Not tone, or output or etc.
i just want a simple comparison, between the nailbomb with a duncan, and the warpig with a duncan.
simple, clear and clean.

Actives pickups dont output in the same way as a passive, they are wound with a very thick wire to get a pure signal and then boosted with a built in pre-amp. Normally they are ceramic based.

If it hasn't been answered I doubt that any one has both to compare. The best thing to do is listen to the sound clips to get an idea, or just buy one.

Yeah JP! IT'S TIME TO BUY ONE. take the plunge. if you don't like it, or its not how you expected, you can always send it back and exchange for another one. You've waited too long :P . You don't know what you're missing!
