Have a read of this......

I was a member of the BK forum and got booted off for complaining about the quality control
^does not appear to be true unless his post's got removed...
I don't make empty accusations
^Also does not appear to be true.
he immeduiately attacked me without 1st knowing the facts.
Questioning =/= attacking, it's traditionally how one goes about getting the facts... :roll:
-
Hazarding any message board can be a risk, but the name brand ones are just generally a slog...
Someone making accusations that are apparently hard to substantiate...maybe the pickups he got just gave him a different result from what he expected? Also lol @ the slam that BKPs are "toneless," I'm sure my Aftermath is completely different from anything Duncan offers but that's not for lack of tone. This is also the first time I've ever heard BKP accused of having quality control issues...
re: the Duncan forums empty accusations guy: Even people who make empty accusations will claim they don't, so he might just be blowing hot air.
As for the actual pickup recommendations, I know there are some guys around who've had experience with BKPs and Duncans, so surely there's one or two guys around here could help if anyone actually needs that advice still

I think both threads speak well for themselves.

And by the way - I am neither a kid nor a BKP only user.

It's part of the nature of the internet, I think. There are many forums - mostly American ones IMO - that are full of such people with strong love/hate-opinions and who always try to force their view on others in the most intolerant way.
Sometimes I think people make up such stories/claims just so they can be part of a discussion, which is really sad. It probably gives them a feeling of importance and power, which they lack in their "real" life.
In that sense:
On the internet, nobody knows I'm a dog.

This is also very, very true to this forum.

Everyone knows I'm as brilliantly erudite and sexually dominant in real life as I appear in my posts.

uh ? As far as I'm concerned this forum is one of the very few educated ones. Ok, I don't read each and every post but still I'd rather trust the regulars here that Joe Average Guitar Forum Lurker.

+2. It's the only forum of which I belong to and post, of all in the world.
Cheers Alex, I'm an American, or Yank if it suites you best.

Ha! No worries Alex :), I was having a bit of fun, however I didn't copy the quote(s) properly and all came out wrong as it were. :?
On another note, I did have a good laugh reading that Seymour thread...because we can be cork sniffers over here :P, and I wouldn't have it any other way. :D

Do the people on the SD board think that this one is not going to be about BKPs? It is, after all, a forum provided by BKP....
Its funny how different boards seem to like one manufacturer above all others - that's understandable in relation to a proprietor's board (like SD or BKP) but go to strat-talk, an apparently 'independent' board, and everyone there is on a religious mission to proclaim the one true truth of one pickup maker's product, likewise at times on the FDP forum. It must get very confusing for people new to the world of aftermarket pickups.

Yes it is. But at the same time this forum is very open to discussions and comparisons of pickups from other manufacturers. Not every pickup forum allows such discussions. I think these comparison discussions are valid to give a reference point for the person asking.
BTT: I simply cannot see what the poster's exact problem was. He was not very specific, was he?
