Any BK can be coil tapped, yes.

Including single coils. (whats often called 'tapping', which is splitting, obviously needs two coils to split; even singles can be tapped however).

Would 'tapping' result in 4 conductors  per pole? When I try to visualize what you're describing I think of a coil wound with two lengths of wire in such a way that you could run it in series for the full output of the coil, or tap it for less. Is that correct?

My Black Dog works great for Megadeth/Metallica sounds.

So what BKP sounds best coil-tapped for indie or blues cleans, and humbucking for Mastodon drive?

Thanks for all the help, lads!
