Title: BKP bass pups?
Post by: geoffrey on May 17, 2009, 07:11:28 PM

Have they ever done bass pickups?  I would love to have my basses fitted with something good.  I love the stuff I have in my guitars. (Warpig, Crawlers, getting Apaches soon)  I wonder if he would do some custom?

I have both a precision and jazz bass fitted with them.  They make both types and they sound perfect.

Do I have to ask for them special or am I missing them somewhere on the website?  I wonder if he could do pups for my Beatles bass clone... Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Thanks for the tip.  I will have to email him.  Calling from the states is very expensive!  Anyway, a set of Apaches is up next for me and when I order them I will ask him about pups for the Beatles bass and maybe some other bass I have too.
Thanks,
G.

email works too, just let him know the kind of sound you are after and he will probably start talking in terms of a certain year.

i have only seen P and J pickups, not sure he would do you hofner style pickups

I have had P and J  types - both excellent.

Tim will rewind certain pickups that he cant make from scratch.

No, I don't have it.  Heard of it but haven't tried it.   I will stick with email for now...Maybe down the road.. Thanks for reminding me of the app.
