Put a post up with enough details for the more experienced forum members to recommend some BKP's for your guitar, style of play etc

Or contact Tim (the owner) directly and have a chat with him?

It's a valid question. The answer may be that Tim knows of a few places that might have BKP fitted guitars for testing?

Post by: Rock and Roll on January 24, 2008, 11:04:02 PM: Is LGS the London guitar show? It might be a bit of a trip...

The sort of sounds I really dig would be most of Aerosmith's 'Rocks' and Thin Lizzys 'Live and Dangerous', as well as some of Slash's lead sounds :) .

So far I've been recommended mules, which I've heard a couple of clips which sounded great, and I also listened to the Crawler clips which sound nice too

Another thing, any artists who use Mules or Crawlers? The clips on here are good, but my computer speakers suck, and it'd be nice to get a couple of CDs where I can hear how they sound :)

:lol: at the unicorn comment

When I had my crawlers installed in my LP, the guy in the shop (Custom shop, Pigalle, Paris) told me "Yeah, BKP Crawlers huh? we dropped the same set in Lenny Kravitz's Vee...He swapped out the Mules for Crawlers"
-oh yeah, you can find some pics of this vee in this board's 'gallery' :wink: -

Post by: PhilKing on January 25, 2008, 05:47:13 PM: I have a Riff Raff bridge with a Stormy Monday neck in a Les Paul. This was the combination that Tim came up with to give more drive from the bridge pickup. I also have an Emerald/Mule combo in a Zemaitis Metal Front clone. This nails the Still In Love With You tone and is great for things like Mr Big and The Hunter (Free).

Post by: Rock and Roll on January 27, 2008, 04:31:51 PM: Lenny Kravitz? familiar name I think, although I don't think I've heard any of his stuff. Anyone know of any clips of him using that v, it looks like a sweet guitar :)

Post by: ailean on February 03, 2008, 12:23:00 PM: I'm not going to try to recomend you anything, but bear in mind that Tim will exchange a pickup with 7 days if you think you've got it wrong.

Post by: Rock and Roll on February 06, 2008, 04:58:58 PM: Yeah, its just I'm a little worried that it'll be a bit like my Tanglewood Electro-Acoustic, which I bought a few months ago and loved it, but now I really don't think its for me and am trying to sell it (still for sale, its a TW47-B with a ritter gigbag and a recent pro setup, £500 [/shameless spam ;) )

What the heck, I think I'll get the mules this week :)
