Warpig PU

[AngusYoung01]

Hi I'm Lew, and this is my first post.. yay  :D  8)

Anyway, I'm thinking of getting a Warpig in the Bridge of my SG Special, I've emailed Tim and stuff, and it does look like I will be buying one.

However, I'm after the kind of Iron Maiden sound, particularly Somewhere in Time, and I use the neck pickup alot for the Dave Murray style bubbly legato thing, and I'm considering getting a Dimarzio PAF Pro... would this work with the Warpig at all?

Buy a Cold Sweat or Abraxas neck and you will nail the Dave Murray tone (depending on the rest of your gear).

Thanks for the reply  :)

Well, I'm going into a Marshall DSL50, and some chorus, etc.

Do they have the same qualities as the PAF Pro?

I think we're all a bit biased towards DiMarzio pups, here.

How do you mean?

[AngusYoung01]

Oh, also will they be able to do the general80's metal as well as like, Nuno, EVH, Steve Lynch kinda stuff?

He means BK smokes Dimarzio. I used Dimarzios for years then i purchased a BK and have never used another make since. Paf Pro sounds honky and a bit thin to my ears,a more musical,fuller option would be the Mule by BK.
Welcome.

I'm not the best person to answer this, but of you look in the players section you might be able to find something.  Otherwise take a listen to this:

http://www.twilight-odyssey.com/music.html (I'm sure TO could point you better than me!), and select Squadron.  All the rhythm guitars are using Cold Sweats and the leads are a mix of Miracle Man bridge or Abraxas neck.

I will say though that the humbuckers will sound different in an SG to a Strat, because of scale length and construction differences.  Dave Murray used an old ash body strat with a maple neck, so it will be much brighter than an SG.

Ah thank you very much  :)

Yeh, the woods and things have been taken into account don't worry  

It does look like a Warpig in the Bridge, and PAF in the neck then  :D

Tim suggested a Cold sweat for me when I asked for murray neck tone.  He also said to try the painkiller.  I would ask him which is the brighter of the two.   So if you must, play with the Paf pro, get dissapointed, and then order another BKP for the neck :twisted:   good luck, and welcome

I like it  :band5:

And thanks Lifted - I may well consider this  8)

Thanx, AngusYoung01!!

i say abraxas. i heard a TO recording with the abraxas and it slayed and i think would do real good for the dave murray sound, even though TO is in a different vein sound vise, than Iron Maiden, but BKPs are really versatile, so it'll rule either way.

[AngusYoung01]

So its Cold Sweats, Abraxas or a Painkiller... soo many choices!

Which would nail the Murray tone best, when used with my SG?
