Title: Anyone Know What BKP is in this Explorer?
Post by: darrenw5094 on July 24, 2014, 01:56:31 AM: Interesting to see if the experts can nail which BKP is used here. :cheesy:
It's only a 36 second clip though

Deffo a vintage character, not the metal kind

Well, I've only heard so many BKPs in person, and out of the ones I've heard and from what I know regarding how Warpigs and Nailbombs sound in Explorers I'm guessing this is an Emerald. Could well be wrong though

Ooh Eric, you kinda cheated there. :tongue:

I was thinking the Riff Raff myself. I need a set of thos bad boys some day for a mahogany guitar.

Post by: AndyR on July 27, 2014, 10:19:12 AM: I'd be interested to know.... I've got Riff Raffs in mine, but I want to put those back in an SG where they came from... and I'm getting tempted by Emeralds for the Explorer

Post by: Philly Q on July 27, 2014, 11:32:23 AM: I'd like to know more about the guitar, it looks great and I see it has an Earvana nut, which is unusual....

A bit remiss of the chap to post that clip without more background information. :huh:

Post by: darrenw5094 on July 27, 2014, 02:33:01 PM: Yeh, i hope it is BKP and not a mistake. But anyway, might message the guy in youtube later to find out what BKP he is using there.

Post by: Telerocker on July 27, 2014, 05:04:12 PM: Sounds indeed like an RR or Emerald.

So, what is the difference between the two?

Post by: ericsabbath on July 28, 2014, 02:59:53 PM: Emerald (bridge)
seems a little hotter and treblier
