Pickup advice from the bkp pros - ESP Eclipse 1ctm FT
« on: October 30, 2012, 07:11:09 AM »
Hey dudes and dudettes of the bkp world!

I'm picking up my shiny new ESP eclipse full thickness tomorrow (basically a lp custom), and really would like to swap out the emgs for a passive set - i'll mainly run it for sludge and doom, in drop b tuning.

My research so far suggests black dog or nail bomb for the bridge, and maybe a pig90 in the neck.

I'm after an electric wizard, down, yob, sort of tone and its running through a hotcake and a fender bassman copy .

Any advice would be hugely appreciated

Peace, and thanks for the help!

Would have thought the war pig would might have been the 'obvious' choice for the bridge and and even for the neck but in fairness I dont play doom other than jamming a bit of Sabbath. 

I bet the Mules would sound really cool too!

Both of your choices would be awesome though :)

Thanks for the help everyone! Looks like I'm going with a pair of Ceramic Warpigs.

I'll try get some sound clips up once they're installed

Peace!
