Title: BKP Cobra or DM Fast Tracks/Chopper
Post by: leolyonsofficial on March 13, 2019, 05:46:59 PM

Undecided on if I should go with BKP Cobras for a thick modern rock sound or go with DiMarzio Fast Track 2 (Bridge) Fast Track 1 (Middle) & Chopper (Neck).

Thoughts?

What are the pros and cons of each? To be installed in a SSS style guitar, strat shaped but no scratch plate. Mahogany body, maple neck and rosewood board.

I had the Fast Track. I think BKP's are a step up in dynamics and refined tones.

What did you replace them with?

I sold the guitar with the Fast Track. But I always found the bridgepickup a bit bland and not cleaning up well.
All my guitars are BKP'd now.

What particular BKP single coils did you use to get the output of the Fast Track 2?

My strats have HSS. Crawler/Irish Tours and VHII/Mother's Milk. My tele has BG50's but this is the old set, which is now the BG52-set.
