I did email them and they did eventually say that the A-Pig would be best but frankly didn't sound convinced it was entirely like a 'Holydiver on steroids', which is kinda what I'm after. As I've said before, there's not that much in the contemporary range which is obviously like the Holydiver (warm, thick, fluid, smooth etc.) so choices are a bit limited. When I started looking at it, only the Warpig and A-Bomb sounded close and to be honest, I think BKP would have suggested an A-Bomb instead had it not been for the fact that I've already tried that one in my Jackson and really didn't like it. The A-Bomb was just too harsh and edgy while the Holydiver is smooth and thick, yet I always love the clips I hear of an A-Bomb so I was certainly disappointed with it. Maybe now I'm putting the Holydiver into the PRS I will prefer the difference an A-Bomb would give me but I'm not in a rush to take that route just to return it again. CanadianMetalhead however does make the A-Pig sound like what I'm after so I'm happy to wait and hear his thoughts once he's tried the Holydiver.
As for the Miracle Man with an Alnico V magnet; I mentioned it to them in passing but all Ben said was that they didn't do a bridge Miracle Man with an alnico magnet so I assumed it couldn't be done as there was no hint that they could make one with a 53mm spacing. I agree it must be possible so perhaps I should press it further, though my impression is that BKP are increasingly unwilling to do anything other than stock. It's understandable as the company gets bigger and more successful but also sad because it was that highly personalised feel that first drew me to BKP. Before I explore this further with them, I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who's tried an alnico Miracle Man in the bridge position to learn more about what it's like. I'd be especially interested in comparisons to a Holydiver and A-Pig.
