Title: BKP Black Dog set vs. SD Whole Lotta Humbucker set ?
Post by: SirJackdeFuzz on March 02, 2014, 02:11:14 AM: Hi Guys & Girls (if there is any girls here :D ...)

Looks like both Co's cater in the same direction with these two sets.

Has anyone here tested them at the same time, or even better, does anyone own both sets right now ?

I would love to know how they compare to one another in a direct A/B Test !

Any thoughts, ideas or opinions ?

Thanx to al.

I think that is after he had changed the pickups to T-tops. The Riff Raff is closest to a T-top, the BD's are like his older PAF's.

I thought the Riff Raff's was closer to the Angus Young or AC/DC type of tone ???

Does Angus Yioung have a set of T Tops in his SG then ?

Mid to late 60's SG's with Batwing scratchplates have T-tops.
