Crawler & Stormy Monday - Good Combination?
« on: January 01, 2006, 06:27:44 PM »
Just picked up a Crawler (B) and Stormy Monday (N) - intend on using them in a Patrick Eggle Berlin - any views out there if this is a good combination - looking for a good solid rock sound - no metal/thrash or high-gain stuff - just good classic sounds. Also thinking of coil-tapping them to give a single coil option - any views/advice welcome - thanks

Crawler & Stormy Monday - Good Combination?

Welcome to the forum.

I have Crawlers installed in a Les Paul Standard and in an Ibanez. They are ideal for rock but are fairly flexible and can produce both clean and distorted sounds if required. I think the Stormy Monday in the neck position will compliment the Crawler very well. I have a calibrated set  of Crawlers in my LP and have coil tapped them through a push/pull pot supplied by BKP - very good results as the tapped bridge gives around 7.5k which is OK for a single coil.

I'm sure you'll like your BKPs.
