Heres a few (cr@p) pics I took today, I forgot to get a pic of all the guitars at the Bareknuckle Stand lined up infront of the amps! The quality of the photos isnt amazing as I used my mums cr@ppy kodak digital camera, enjoy :lol: Anyone know which Cornford Jamie Humphries was using? It sounded amazing!
EDIT- Fixed the link I hope! http://photobucket.com/albums/1003/tomr61/Music%20Live/
Post yours aswell!

i'm liking those schenker deans!!!
-
Yeah I shoulda got more pics of em really! I only took about 8 pics! I wish I got more, and took my sisters camera coz its much better quality!
-
thx for the pics man - i'll know what to expect tomorrow! i'm not sure which cornford that is - it doesnt appear to be either a hellcat or mk50h, and they're the only two in prduction atm.
-
Is the MK50 the Richie Kotzen signature model? If not, it could be that...
-
Nope its not the MK 50, he normally uses that but said he is playing a different one for the day or something. Its probably a Hellcat then, I want it! The Zakk Wylde JCM800 at BKP sounded great though :lol:

I'm going tomorrow as well mate. If you see me about (i'll be wearing a Shadows Fall jersey and black jeans) don't be afraid to say hello.
-
I was at Music Live today too and spent most of the day getting under Tim, Phil and Haydens feet on the BK stand :D
I must've been driving Tim and Phil mad with questions and with wanting to try everything out :)
I played a few Cornell amps too, they were well nice :)
-
I've made a note: try cornell :)
-
I looked at Cornell then didnt try em! Bollocks! My dad didnt want me to get attached to stuff I dont need :lol: I heard those Sheldon amps though they sounded amazing and the guy playing the tele next to em kicked ass! I wish I tried out more stuff really, I just felt like my dad was getting pissed off or something.. next time I'll go with another guitarist :P
EDIT- Who was who on the BKP stand?! I spoke to an older bloke (I think!) and Tim, I just dont know who the rest were :lol:
-
You guys should of tried the Mesa Mark IV's. They were beutiful
-
WHERE ARE THE PICTURES!!!!!

Legendary amp. It was Jaymz' main studio amp for years. Trout also uses one. I just can't afford one. :cry:
-
So did no one else get pics? Davey, mine should be in the first post, on photobucket?
-
did anyone try any BK pickups?
-
Yep I tried a few, Warpigs, VHII and Abraxas. I liked the VHII the best, even more than my Mules. Warpigs seemed to have too much bass for my liking, and Abraxas sound very similar to Mules just a bit more compressed or something. I forgot to ask for a go on some Riff Raffs though :(
-

i saw those already =/
-
Oh right. Someone else must've got pics!
-
i tried nailbombs, warpigs, and miracle man pups. Funnily enough i liked the warpigs the most(i hadn't even considered them; i guess i thought something looking that angry with that high output would be toneless - it would not) - monsterous bass, and huge driving high output is exactly what i need from my JCM800, which is very low gain, and very bright - Steve's new Giger ibanez (with 'pigs)->Keeley SD-1->JCM800=heaven!
-
I ripped it up on some MQ's in tims LP. HEaviest guitar ever but damn beautiful sound. Also, when i say ripped it up, i mean i tried to play a solo but obviously couldnt coz i was in front of ppl, Why do i always do that, lol, the typical nervous buyer syndrome. ARG. Anyhoo, the MQ's were sweet, im gonna get one with a single coil for middle position (not sure which) and a fernadez sustainer too :) This will either be a new strat project (warmoth) or an old tele shape/strat routed + contoured body and a tele neck. Im gonna use a five way switch for the 2 pups and a volume pot to controlling the sustainer.
The five way switch will be: -
1 - Mid Pup
2 - Mid + Bridge (coil tapped) in phase
3 - Mid + Bridge (coil tapped) out of phase
4 - Mid + Bridge in phase
5 - Bridge
Orgasmic!
Not sure why i mentioned all this to ya, but hey, it started off bout Music Live. I also got to my Rueban and BIFFY CLYRO. I nearly came :oops:
YER! Rock and ROLL!
-
Who was who on the BKP stand?! I spoke to an older bloke (I think!) and Tim, I just dont know who the rest were :lol:
Depending on the day, there was Tim, Steve, Ray and Hayden. I was helping on Saturday. I guess Ray and me qualify as older guys :lol:
-
Has anyone tried Tim's Mule loaded Feline Explorer BTW?
How does that sound?
-
Yep...very nice to play, sits well standing or seated. The Mules are really open, but dig in and they rock. Great guitar!
-
It is very nice to play, and the Mules sound great with all that Mahogany. Of course I like the Warpig and MQ combination more on an Explorer :twisted:
-
Thanks guys. This Dean Z '79 is haunting my mind and I'm thinking about what pickups to get for it when I can finally buy it.
-
I cant wait to get some 'pigs for my Dean V. 8)
Anyone going to The London Guitar Show? Bill Lewington and BareKnucklePickups are gonna be there, and youll all get to meet me!
Sorry for my absence at MusicLive...

I know this question is loaded with self interest but has anyone got any feed back about my guitar with the Abraxas set? I've got the guitar back but being a lefty can't really give it a good workout.

Yeah I played it. It felt really nice, I dont know what else to say :lol: The only thing I didnt like that much was the gloss finish, kinda sticky, I prefer satin I think :)
-

I recall you've had some problems with other guitars with gloss finish necks. I take your point and I'm finding there are more people than ever looking for satin or sealer coat finishes. Having said that I was more interested in what people thought of the sound.
Cheers Tom

I was hanging around the BK stand for most of the Saturday, and I couldn't get anywhere near your guitar!
It was getting handed around more than a spliff at a party though!
I was quite disappointed that I couldn't try it though, as I'm interested in 1 of your guitars and a set of Abraxas in the future :D
-
I didnt get to play it acoustically (woulda been too much noise goin on!) so I couldnt really tell what it sounded like just from the wood. I have to say I dont like the abraxas too much though, it just seems too thick :?
-
I really liked your guitar Bob, the Abraxas came out as fat but bright, not too thin. Good midrange, sort of like the VHIIs in my PRS just more power. Great sustain from a bolt on too!

I thought it sounded totally different to your VHII's! The VHII were brighter and crunchier in my eyes (ears?)
-
What I meant was the Abraxas sounds like a high output hot VHII, it's got the vintage vibe still, just more power.

The sustain comes from those six screws, they give a massive clamping load. The neck is also an interference fit in the body and the screw holes in both the neck and body are countersunk on the joint faces to help give uniform loading across the joint face and not just around the holes. Of course top class hardware and tonewoods help a lot as well.
Thanks I'm really grateful for all the comments, the guitar is being used at a couple of gigs this weekend so I'll get to hear it used in anger, with the Abraxas, then.
