I dont understand why people are "afraid" of the pigs. i can gurantee you that the chances are equally big that your mm blows up your amp as the cpig.

My vote goes for the Cpig. Its my fav pickup of the ones i have(apig, cpig, painkiller, miracle man)

I'm not afraid its just  I have a similar output pickup on my V right now, its a sort of warpig alike one made in France and its output drives my amp and recording station far too hard. I don't have the use of this massive power.

fair enough fr33m

madsakre, if you want a c-pig to be less bassy/brighter, just raise the poles nearest the bridge.

I guess I'll take a MM or a PK bridge pickup. Any thoughts on the AM neck A5 one ? It seems to have more output than a NB neck which could be quite cool for me as I'm always finding the modern bkp neck units a bit too low output on my metal axes.

Will see if they do the job for me. I promise I'll get some pigs madsakre, but I only see a covered distressed set of pigs in one guitar, a gibson sg ! next on my wishlist ;).  Or maybe a pigged gibson sg jr with a single p90. Would be mean !

thats cool but i could not find a 1958 stylish V pickguard to route it for one pickup , plus I like high powered alnico neck pickups sounds and kinda like a Vee clean sounds so I went for a calibrated set. I'm gonna treat this with some heavy parkway drive breakdown stuff to fire it up. Brootaaallz.  :P

IHMO then you havent tried a true bkp before you have tried a Cpig. This is a very special pickup. It has all the grind you wish for. It can even make dull amps like laney scream.

The only thing i'd wish that the cpig should have would be a little less bass and a slightly altered mid section.
I think the Cpig90 will do this trick for me :) Dont you think so too? :D

Whoah, my Laney VH100R is very very bright. Wouldn't say sounds dull by any means, but the opposite.

That said, that makes me want o try a Warpig on it even more, as that fat bass response would go great with it.

He's basing that off my GH50L, which is as stock as Amy Winehouse is sober :P
I like it a lot, though I must confess that Mads' amp does sound better.

Is this hijack an aftermath of the 'aftermath' pickups ?  :P

just kidding, theyre done and on their way, fast achievers at BKP team, always a pleasure as you know you paid for top notch service and pickups. I'll try to get some samples done for once.

just put an order on an aftermath bridge and mule for the neck

I wish the aftermath could have a regular cover (I really don't like the look of 12 holes covers on les pauls), but Ben told me that the aftermath can only be made with twin coils
so I changed the order to open poled black coils with gold screws and aged gold with BKP logo for the mule

:D
