The C-Pig is a beast!!!!
« on: October 06, 2011, 09:25:31 PM »
Threw one in my SG (along with a MQ neck). All I can say is WOW. I had the alnico version in there at first, but it wasn't really what I was looking for. I put the ceramic version in and I love it! I think the alnico version would be great in standard tuning, but I wasn't digging it in C#, which is what I keep this guitar tuned to. I like the tighter bass and the extra top end the ceramic version gives me. I play a lot of Sabbath, Down, and other stoner/doom with this guitar and it works great, and sounds awesome through my Orange Dual Terror. Here's a pic of the SG:

Sabbath, C# tuning and hot pickups - you're all right in my book.  PDT_003

I out a C Pig 90 into an SG and found it very "Sabbathy", I would imagine the Warpig HB to be even fatter and dirtier. :twisted:

For me though.. 50 cycle hum is part of the music

There's nothing wrong with sacryficing a little silence for an excellent tone.

I've been pretty fixated on the A-Pig, for some time, disregarding the C-Pig since I've not gotten along well with ceramics since falling into the doom-hole. If the C-Pig is more "Sabbathy", which pig would be more "Wizardly" or "Bongripped?"
I usually tune to drop C, C# being as high as I go; sometimes dabbling in A, and sometimes mucking about with F and G.
In my head, I've been aiming for a bass muff through a Traynor with my 12's and 15's. I figured the AlNiCos would be more ...big and BWO)))M sounding.

I have it on some authority that if you're tuning as low as F (as I do), you may need a ceramic pickup to keep the low end sufficiently sharp and controlled.

Damn...I'm not much of an SG guy, but that guitar is classy as hell.
