Title: My first song recorded with BK '63's
Post by: dbrewerjr on January 16, 2016, 01:10:48 AM: Only had them about 24 hours......this is kind of sloppy and I couldn't use a tube amp because it would stress the neighbors.lol
Tried to kind of play the same thing in all postitions.......Hope you enjoy.....

Cheers

I'm sure i could......i kind of went with the obvious for the demo but the other thing i am starting to notice is how many different tones are available depending on tone, volume, pick attack.....and playing at the brisge or neck......i love the way they sound but i like the way they "play" even better...

Yeah, BKP's renowned for dynamics and clarity. I have Mother's Milks and Irish Tours. Great pickups too, but that 63 set is on my list as soon I as I have an extra SSS-strat. Not the priority at the moment though.

Post by: dbrewerjr on January 17, 2016, 06:18:57 PM: Yeah, The they sound even nicer through an actual tube amp and i am going to make a clip soon......this is my first bk set but i am thinking about apaches or sultans next.....people seem to love them both....

Post by: fdesalvo on February 12, 2016, 05:47:27 AM: Excellent! You should go for the 59's next! My fav so far out of the 63, MM, and Apache. Will Nail SRV and John Mayer tones and then some.
