Title: Too much wine!!
Post by: Hammerheart on February 15, 2013, 03:42:18 AM: This thread is a prime example of why you should not post on forums when you have had a couple of bottles of wine.

I THINK what I was meaning to ask is what name would get you excited if there was a BKP released named after a song you liked.

But now you've gone and confused things by editing your posts.....

Must admit I definitely had trouble following your first post here! The second one cleared things up though.

Post by: Philly Q on February 15, 2013, 03:06:57 PM: I thought it was more like give an example of a song with a guitar sound you really like... which would then give the pickup its name.

I can't remember which songs you had listed though?

I was thinking of "Put the Blame on Me" from Brand New Bag by The Mother Station, which features an awesome tone from a Les Paul Goldtop with P-90s. At least that's what she (Gwin Spencer) was playing in the video, for all I know it could've been a Tele or something on the actual recording..... anyway, it would be a pretty sh!tty name for a pickup, unfortunately. :?

A couple of my favourites are already covered - Mississippi Queen and Nantucket - but I don't own either pickup. I guess I'd like a Robin Trower Strat set but I can't think of a name (beyond the obvious Bridge of Sighs)

Oh, to answer the question: the aftermath.

Aftermath just screams decimation and heavy music, Stormy Monday gives off an atmospheric feel to it that fits its tone, and Supermassive because a good P90 just has a massive, heavy tone. The others, leaving out the tones of the songs or artists they're named after, are harder to decipher IMO.
