Listen to Rammstein's Reise Reise. That's the kind of tone you'll get with the Warpig. A huge sounding thundering growly monster.

Richard Z uses emg 81`s, just for the record.

Yep, but I can nail his sound through a Fender amp with the Warpig. 8) :twisted:

I have an invader and I hate it !!!!!!!!! Tone is too harsh and the gain too hard to control. The allen bolts are huge, so it's very bassy, but the bass definition isn't really that great :( When I can free up some cash it's getting swapped for a Holydiver.

Why a holydiver, if you want tight bass, get a miracle man!

I don't necessarily want tight bass, I was just pointing out the flaws of the invader. If the pickup is bassy but the bass is quite flabby your sound sucks :( I really don't want that much power either, and the sound I really want is better served by the Holydiver

Well I hope it's not so limted as to sound like Rammstein...though I use amps nothing like theirs and I set up my tone nothing like theirs...I'm all about power tube distortion and not preamp distortion. I was rereading the harmony-central reviews and really nobody on there seemed to be doing what I wanted to with the Warpig's...still I have a feeling they'll work out just fine.

I installed a set into a guitar about a month ago and they where very versatile. I liked the clean tone, and the crunch was wicked as with the higher gain tone! As with all BK pickups they are very versatile, i got some great bluesy tones from them as well.

I meant more that Rammstein's tone is pretty limited dynamically as well as harmonically and in my opinion a pretty unremarkable tone at that but that's a matter of personal preference.

The Warpig is so hot that it must have a really ballsy split sound. Series/parallel switching also makes it more versatile.

I'm curious to see how it'll sound split. My personal trick is to usually have a humbucker in the bridge and a P90 in the neck which I then screw pretty deep into the body while turning the screw on the pickup up so I can still get clarity with lower output because I only (choose) to use single channel amps at very high volume with a lot of power tube distortion. I then leave the volume on my neck pickup around 3-5 for my "clean channel" and then I switch to the bridge pickup for my dirty sounds. So I think most of the time I'm going to have the neck humbucker tapped for my clean sounds but maybe parallel might sound cool too but I think it might have too much output.

A Mississipi Queen (humbucker-sized P90 under a metal cover - can be distressed, too, like the Warpig) might have been a better choice for the neck position then.

Yeah, but the warpig's came as a set so I figured I'd give it a shot first. I'm not really looking for this guitar to become my new #1 or anything, just as long as it sounds good and different from my others I'll be happy...it's good to have a variety.
