Please help me to choose pickups for my SG

[Dr. Vic]

You know what ?

You better not call him "Majesty Tim", otherwise I'm not sure he will answer your questions again....
The first time I called BKP I said "may I speak to mister Mills please ?"

The answer was : " well it's me, but please call me Tim, no Mister Mills !"  8) 8)

What a knowledgeable and kind guy he is !


I think you can't go wrong with either this BD / Mu combo or a Crawler set which is also worth considering.
And it's true that if the RY works GREAT in the SG, maybe it will be too agressive in the bridge for your tastes.

Tsar Tim will point you to the best option anyway : you can trust him, he knows his stuff ! 

 
PS :

Я люълю мои Риф Рафи

What does that mean....and who would have expect this topic to become one of a kind russian lesson ?  :D

[emotionsclot]

Я люълю мои Риф Рафи

it means "I love my Riff Raffs", but with a few mistakes, if you want say it correctly, it should be written "Я люблю мои Рифф Раффы" :)

Tsar Tim  :lol: haha excellent!!!
any versions else?)))

[Dr. Vic]

if you want say it correctly, it should be written "Я люблю мои Рифф Раффы" :)

Which is why I didn't understand it the first time : Я люблю мои Рифф Раффы is more understandable than Я люълю мои Риф Рафи  :lol:

Not sure if the Riff raff will answer the "thick, meaty, but not too agressive" tone you want in the bridge though.

Still on the BD / Mu combo,
crawler set or Emerald set maybe (which I forgot to mention in my previous post !)...

Good luck  :good:

:lol: I wasn't sure whether to use the double фф or not. So ы is the right ending for when I'm loving them then?

I'm not sure the Riff Raff bridge will give you thick/meaty either. Someone else has mentioned Mississippi Queens - I've tried those as well. If anything, they come across as thicker and meatier for me, but I find they're also more aggressive.

BTW folks, "Я люблю мои Рифф Раффы", if you want to say it out loud, it's roughly:

"Ya lyoobyoo moyee Reeff Rahffuhyee"

- that final "uhyee" is difficult for us... ы is "ee" with a "y" in front of it, makes quite a guttural sort of sound - do the "uh" really fast just before the "yee".

Emotionsclot, I'm guessing our "i", as in "Riff", or "hit" is just as difficult to master for you guys? :D

In this case "ы" means only plural number, like your "s"

Double фф, hm... I think that it's only because of Riff Raff is proper name, and in concordance of russian grammar, proper names must be written transliteration.

yeah, I think that our "ы" is difficult for you in pronunciation.

about your "i", a number of my friends confuse in pronunciation, when "i" situated in open or closed syllables.
