Still saving for Apache Set - How do you Thicken them up...
« on: November 08, 2005, 01:05:25 PM »
I love the sounds I'm hearing from the samples but....
How do I get a thicker tone from them if needed?  
Not grind but thicker

Add a little drive and like all BK pickups..Dig in hard and it will really drive.

Stock - more grind on teh in betweens, did a lot of a/b between a RWRP and a stock set of Apaches at Music Live. The RWRP sound much more polite, have less volume and less mids and bass than the stock version.
Apache,VHII,Emerald,Nailbomb,MiracleMan,StormyMonday,BlackDog,Trilogy,Mothersmilk,Sultans+Sinner

Like the guys say, dig in hard and you'll get the grind.............the lower the output pickups you can get away with, the bigger and more dynamic tone you'll get!
