Bass Pickups
« on: July 03, 2010, 03:53:42 PM »
couple of guys on music radar suggested the BKP make good bass pickups. I can't see any in the shop, do BKP make bass pickups and how do I buy them ?

I believe they are custom order only.

Your best bet would be to call or email Tim.

They make Precision Bass (both the split and 50's single coil) and Jazz Bass.  They are great pickups in the tradition of the guitar pickups, with an articulate but full sound.  The 62 precision pickup growls on the low E string.  The Jazz set are smooth with just the right push.
So many pickups, so little time

I got a P Bass set from Tim last year.

10% overwind to give them a bit more bottom and more suitable for what i play.

They're awesome sound brilliant no matter whether im playing super clean, overdriven or fuzzy  :D and with flats on give the most chest banging thump ever  :P
