The most versatile BKPs
« on: August 07, 2010, 08:33:17 PM »
Maybe a bit of a silly post, but here it goes anyway.

What BKPs do you find to be the most versatile in the three categories humbucker, strat and tele?
Mississippi Queens, Stormy Monday/Apaches, Emeralds, Nailbomb (bridge)

This may be a bit of a silly answer, but I find that all BKPs (well, all the ones I've tried & owned) are reasonably versatile - not even the ceramic magnet ones really force you into a certain playing style though clearly certain models are better at some things than others (otherwise what would be the point of having more than one model? :lol:)

But FWIW I find the Holy Diver bridge, VHII neck & Sultans's mid/neck are the most versatile in the sense that I can use them in a variety of different guitars & for a variety of different musical styles.  I can't comment on Teles or Strat bridge pickups because I don't have any of them.
BKPs: HD, MM, NB, PK, CS, Ab (b&n); Am (b only); VHII, Tril (n only); IT, Slow, Sult (m&n)

I agree with you Antag! Most of them are very versatile, even the Miracle Man did a lot of sounds from Maiden to Zakk Wylde to Slayer to early Metallica.

I am very impressed with how heavy the Black Dog can get, while it also does a great classic rock sound.
Current BKPs: Miracle Man, Nailbomb, Juggernaut, VHII
Past BKPS: Holy Diver, Trilogy Suite, Sinner, Black Dog

I'd say "The Mule".

Out of what I've used, crawler and nailbomb sets.
