Soda Jerk Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I've recently got myself a Warpig, and it absolutely slays everything I've had in the past, including the BK Miracle Man, which is BK's second hottest PU, I believe. Definitely worth the punt. Incredibly versatile for a hot pickup too. With EMG's, I found it was either all or nothing, where as rolling off the volume on the Warpig, and even switching on the coil tap, gives it a whole different range of tone to roam around.The Ceramic Warpig sounds a bit clearer and a tad brighter than the Alnico one too, in my opinion. It's alot of wedge, but it's better than spending less on something not as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HateEvent Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I am still fond of my EMGs most of the time. My favourite passive pickup was definitely my Warpig. I went for the alnico one so that it had a bit more warmth. The Nailbomb (from BK too) is great as well, less top end bite than the Warpig, but very fat sounding (got one for sale ).From Seymour Duncan the Full Shred is great. Holds up very well even downtuned. The Invader is ok, but sucks in a band situation. The Alternative 8 is meant to be an Invader with clarity but I haven't tried it yet. The JB is ok as well, but I don't like it's response when you tune down. Stay away from the Dimbucker - sucks! The Bill Lawrence L500-XL does what the Dimebucker wants to but properly!I can't comment on the DiMarzio Super Distortion as I've only used it at the neck (stock on the DFH I have).You're correct though on the HZs sucking.
