Title: The BKP take over is completed!
Post by: Dave Simpson on June 23, 2006, 10:23:19 AM: All six of my guitars have BKP's in them. I'm not quite sure how it happened but..... :twisted:

The only one left is this one.

I know what you mean, BK are addictive.

I think it fits the sound-hole nicely...

Tim, you better hope Steve Stevens doesn't see this thread or you might be doing a Rebel Yell for one of his flamenco guitars. :P

Sadly nylon strung guitars lack the one thing needed to make a magnetic pickup like a BKP work : steel strings!!

It is when a steel string or the steel core of a wound string cuts the magnetic flux field from the magnet contained within a pickup that a voltage is induced in the coils wrapping the magnet- basic principles of a magnetic pickup

I have cringed when seeing ignorant salesmen in guitar shops selling a soundhole pickup to a spanish/classical guitar owner.
It won't work - the only options are microphone or Piezo type pickups

Nice one!

Have you done anymore gigs in L.A since the Whisky one? I liked that post!

What sort of music do you play Dave?

Post by: Dave Simpson on June 30, 2006, 10:06:22 AM: My band is a kind of Tool/Alice in Chains hybird. At least that is what I've been told. :P

We're playing the Viper Room Saturday. Should be cool. My first full BKP gig! :twisted:

Sounds like a cool band. Hope it all goes well.

I'd like to go there some day. Did you ever see The Neurotic Outsiders play there?
