Title: who owns what pickups.
Post by: Transcend on May 12, 2008, 03:32:46 PM: Just a quick poll to find out which pickups sell better im gonna add as many as i can in im mainly just going to do humbuckers as i dont think itll enable me to have too many options.

If you own others p90s or singles for example just add them in your post.

Also post what styles you play

Post by: ericsabbath on May 12, 2008, 11:25:42 PM: i'm using a cold sweat in the neck and a borrowed miracle man in the bridge in my hurricane les paul (mahogany, maple top, set neck)

my holy diver is in my ex-guitar, but it's mine and it's still my favorite :lol:

i have some BKP'ed brazilian friends that don't post here:

- one has a warpig-7 set and a bridge painkiller-7 (they are homeless now, but they were installed in a ibanez rg (custom brazilian mahogany body, bolt on)
- other owns the miracle man i'm using and the neck mm in my ex-brazilian handcrafted les paul (brazilian mahogany, brazilian rosewood, imbuya top, set neck)
- other had a mississippi queen set in a custom lefty sg copy (all andiroba, one heavy as hell brazilian mahogany specie) but he sold the guitar recently
- other just installed a camo painkiller set in a dean mustaine VMNT1 (all mahogany, set neck)
- other just bought a bridge VH2 and a neck black dog for a custom made les paul (all brazilian cedar)

another friend just fell in love for my holy diver and it's probably ordering one set for his cort katana kx1

i think the winners in BKP forum are:
- mule
- warpig
- nailbomb
- rebel yell

Post by: Philly Q on May 13, 2008, 12:35:29 PM: I'm surprised you haven't got a Boss set, Phil.

Isn't that the set Tim recommends for a Roy Buchanan tone? If I was looking for Tele pickups that would probably be my first port of call.

I played the Boss set at LGS one year but then the Blackguards came out and I prefered the sound of them. There are a little fatter than the Boss set, and I really like the neck pickup in the BG's.

Fanned fret LP type thing - Mule/Manhattan
HSS limba/maple guitar - Crawler/Mothers milk's
Explorer Pro w/Kahler - Holy diver

Post by: Roobubba on May 15, 2008, 12:10:14 PM: Miracle Man bridge at present.
Next stop, not sure just yet but possibly a ceramic warpig... need to discuss this with Tim in due course. There's time to worry about that, though!

Post by: Philly Q on May 15, 2008, 12:24:32 PM: Since we're naming which pickups and the guitars they're in, I've got:

Rebel Yell bridge/Abraxas neck - Gibson The Paul SL (probably for sale soon)
Riff Raff - Gibson SG-X
Black Dog bridge/Stormy Monday neck - Edwards Flying V
Crawlers - Edwards "Jeff Beck" LP
BKP-91 - MIJ Epiphone LP Junior

Next BKP will likely be a MQ neck for my Tokai SG, and I'll try it with a few different bridge pickups.
