Title: manson custom BKPs
Post by: CaffeineJunkie on July 05, 2007, 02:17:22 AM

hey all, not been around for a while [a-levels n shite]

just been over at the manson's website and noticed that they have their own custom BKP sets, does anybody know which pickups these are based on, i'm assuming that the neck P90 is based on the MQ, but which humbucker???

Cheers

James

With the amount of options tim offers all BKP's are custom anyway, if youw ant something different to the standard options  Tim ussally seems willing to do that .  

My guess would be something similar to a nailbomb since thats what went on Matt Bellamy's Mansons.

just a guess though.

I usually call in there once or twice a month - will try to get some info or a listen if possible (must remember to leave my wallet at home  :cry: ).

Mansons have been enthusiastic BKP supporters for some time and sold me my first BKP (instead of the Rio Grande I intended to buy).

Called in Mansons today. The humbucker is definitely based on the nailbomb. The neck is an underwound P90 with an AIV magnet.

Hehe yeah same thing with me, i went in wanting to buy a JB and a 59 but they wouldn't let me, untill i'd tried Bare Knuckles, i;ve been one happy customer since then :-)
