Title: Any B.K.P humbucker NOT recommended for the bridge position of a Les Paul?
Post by: NYCityRocker on May 09, 2010, 12:34:26 AM

  Hello all I suppose the thread says it all. Looking for something cool for the bridge of my LP...2001 Standard, Maple Top,etc. I would also like to know what you think sounds BEST in the same LP position. I like to play nice and overdriven!

Hmm, it really depends what sound you want.. the only one I would personally steer clear of would be the alnico Warpig, but even that could be exactly what's needed if the guitar is to be used for massively dark and fat doom/sludge tones.

You haven't given us all that much to work with in terms of what you're looking for - with more details about the sound you want we can give you a far more informed recommendation.
That said, there are many great options for an LP in the Bare Knuckle range: the Mule, Black Dog, Emerald, Rebel Yell, Crawler, Cold Sweat and Miracle Man, to name some of the most classic choices.

 That's fine...I see all these other ones work good in an LP. I've been listening to the clips and I really like the Miracle Man and the Rebel Yell.

 I'm hearing that! Holy Diver sounds cool too. I like Randy Rhoads' Blizzard LP tone quite well.
