Post by: Dakine on September 29, 2006, 11:44:19 AM: OK,
well ear still fubar (guessing got an infection now, Doc. visit again :( ), excuses over LOL.

Anyway, two more clips.

Same recording technique as first PK clip.

Post by: 38thBeatle on September 29, 2006, 07:39:58 PM: Hey Nick, really really liked the clips. Particularly liked the "clean" one- had a great feel. The bass player in my brain was pounding away.Had that great "Faces" vibe if you know what I mean.

Post by: Dakine on September 29, 2006, 07:47:32 PM: Hey Steve,
thanks. Must admit it was good banging four strings again stead of 6 for a min. (why did I EVER sell my Warwick :cry: )!

Post by: OD-Black_Fire on September 29, 2006, 08:51:14 PM: I like the tight cold sound!
Title: More PAINKILLER!!!!!!!!
Post by: fps_dean on September 30, 2006, 06:30:55 AM: Nice.... still kinda tempting to put a Painkiller in the bridge of my ESP (I was initially going to wait for them to come out but now I am leaning Nailbombs).

Your "clean" clip sounds awesome. Nice playin'

Post by: HTH AMPS on September 30, 2006, 02:19:49 PM: I'm so settled with my Miracle Man now that I don't even know if I 'want' to change. I've been waiting for the Painkiller since the start of the year though and I DO want to compare them with the MM. Damn!!! - I'm gonna have to buy one aren't I. oh well, could be worse (heh).

:twisted:

Post by: Ratrod on September 30, 2006, 02:31:15 PM: I loved both those clips. They seem to be pretty versitile. The 'clean' clip had a great Stones vibe to it. Judging by the dirty clip, these pickups should deliver a wide load of hard hittin' rock. I can imagine myself playing Alice Cooper's Poison with a Mockingbird loaded with Painkillers.

(fading away to a dreamy state)

Post by: Dakine on September 30, 2006, 03:12:21 PM: Cheers fella's.

I stand by my earlier description, 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal - In a Box!'. Course they are VERY versatile, but from starting point I really think that is the tone.

Dunno when Tim will have em ready for marketing but will be interested what packaging he decides on :twisted:

Yeah I think the same thing.... the Painkiller might be a little too dark/fizzy for what I need this guitar for and I have Evos in my Jem which sound too similiar (the only guitar that I own that is not getting BKPs.... because I really like the Evos).

But damn I still can't get over how good that "cleaner" clip sounds... something that's not in its job description.... although it doesn't work for my style much (I have a bit flashier, more "in your face style"), it still is tempting... I'd be interested to hear how they sound totally clean and on warmer amp settings.

Post by: broken cord on October 05, 2006, 10:26:59 PM: Like everyone else, I thought the tone was great; I beleive I may have to mix one with the Warpig for the SG. Damn so many choices and so few guitars!
Title: More PAINKILLER!!!!!!!!
Post by: Dakine on October 07, 2006, 05:09:00 PM: repeat after me

I need to buy more guitars for BKP's :lol:
Title: More PAINKILLER!!!!!!!!
Post by: _tom_ on October 07, 2006, 05:16:30 PM: I just noticed in the new Total Guitar, there was a mini-roundup of best pickups for metal or something, 3 BKP's were in it - Painkiller, Warpig and NB.. so does this mean the development for the Painkiller is doine, and its ready for ordering the "final" product?!

Want one for my strat :P

Post by: Dakine on October 07, 2006, 05:22:32 PM: Think Tim is awaiting artwork for the packaging is all.

Post by: Johnny Mac on October 17, 2006, 06:11:30 AM: Great sound those BKPPK's! Now there's a big abbreviation! They sound fuggin great Nick and you can play really nice too dude! Top stuff, keep them coming! :twisted:
Title: More PAINKILLER!!!!!!!!
Post by: n_mountain on October 17, 2006, 07:57:14 AM: Really like the clean sound!!!
I mean, the other one is cool also, but lately I'm really into those lower gain Crunchy sound where you hear all the nuances...

Post by: carlaz on October 17, 2006, 12:31:10 PM: Chiming in late here, but these are great! 8)

I've got an old Charvel Charvette HSS lurking in the States in my parent's garage -- I've been thinking of pimping it up for 80soid metal goodness, and am now wondering whether the H needs to be a Painkiller .... :)
Title: More PAINKILLER!!!!!!!!
Post by: Dakine on October 17, 2006, 01:15:52 PM: Thanks guys.
These things are versatile!
Of course all BKP's (ones I have/tried) all very organic and great and P*SS all over Evo's (yuck!).
The range of these things is enormous. Unfortunately (till my missus and gear arrives from Texas) I was using my mates setup and do not have enough time with it for good 'tweaking'.
I am dying to get my gear so I can actually mic the Mesa and show how gnarly these things can truly get, let alone the new amp I am planning on.

I think I need to do a nice clean,warm clip and also a VERY heavy 'nu metal' type clip next.

Hurry up UK Immigration so my stuff can get here :twisted:

Post by: Eric on October 31, 2006, 10:08:57 PM: Is it just me or does the Painkiller clean have an almost Telecaster vibe to it? It's a great clean sound for such a vicious pickup. Then again all BKPs seem to clean up very well all things considered.
Title: More PAINKILLER!!!!!!!!
Post by: Dakine on October 31, 2006, 10:12:33 PM: it does clean up VERY well, kinda shocked me just how well. But thats just more in it's favor IMO. :)
