Personally, I didn't like the Painkiller 7 much. I'm not saying you won't like it, but it would definitely have been worth spending a bit of time thinking about it.
I exchanged mine for a Cold Sweat, which in my opinion is a better choice for tight 7 string riffage.

I just spoke to Tim on the phone, and he explained the differences between the Nailbomb 7 and Painkiller 7 which was a great help. The Painkiller sounds like what I'm after.  He also said he's going to be able to build mine today and post it off tomorrow so I should get it before I go on holiday.

Good stuff. Let us know how you get on with it.

Just to clarify, the PK7 had a good sound, but I found it to be a little too "clean" for my liking. Which I though was odd as it's one of the hotter BKPs.

Painkiller 7 ordered Weds night, arrived Saturday morning, going to get them installed asap.  Thanks to Tim for getting them to me so fast!  Review to follow in a few weeks time, i'm off on holiday!
