BKP War Pigs

[Pelagaard]

Has anyone tried these, whether on your own guitar or someone else's?  If so, do they really favor the low end as much as the specs seem to claim?

I have one. I wouldn't say the bass is more pronounced than the mids and treble as the specs would indicate, but the upped bass makes the sound more rounded. It's such a hi output pup that without that much bass, the treble would be like an icepick-in-the-ear. Compared to several other BKPs you would notice the bass standing out in this one more compared to the other hi output ones, but wouldn't say it was "bassy" compared to some of the other more rounded warm tones in their vintage line. My problem with the Warpig is really the mids, for an obviously "metal" pup they're really pronounced and you have to do some amp or effect tweaking to get rid of the "Slayer" hi-mid sound (an EQ pedal does wonders for this). I think if they made one with the output and bass response of the Warpig but with the scooped midrange of the Miracle Man, that would be the dog's balls.

That's both disappointing and kinda what I was expecting...  Time to think some more...

And few things are as desirable as a dog's balls, right? I mean, once you get past the fur, fleas, ticks, dingleberries and all. Perhaps Applebee's should start offering those as an appetizer - call 'em "Terrier Tots" and serve 'em with a side of sweet 'n' sour sauce, or even as a main course like "Spaghetti and Dogballs". Give a whole new meaning to term "Doggy Bag". Probably have to change the name.

"Miss? Could you put these in a scrotum to go?" <grin>

For a good low end pup, try the SD Invader.... :headbang1:

:tard: :laughing8: :icon_biggrin: Knowing you're more vintage Cagey, I should have used "bee's knees" (but then we wouldn't have gotten that hilarious synopsis). They must be something special, or why would dogs spend 70% of their day licking them?

[Dog's balls] must be something special, or why would dogs spend 70% of their day licking them?

Because they can.

Exactly.

I'm sure if you emailed them they could make it for you.

 

[keeper006]

Yeah, but I don't even want to guess what a custom wound BKP would cost. I'd rather give Roadhouse a shot.

 

[Patrick from Davis]

I think That Nando said that BKP had to stop custom work because of demand of the normal pickups.  Or something.  Anyhow, Ken at Roadhouse will do custom work, and it is of the same caliber.  I have a set of both Roadhouse and BK pickups, and I prefer the Roadhouse.  If you are in the States, Roadhouse pickups are quite a bit less expensive as well.

Ah, good call.
