Got a cool BKP related call from Texas.
« on: March 08, 2006, 02:08:58 PM »
Hi guys.

Workworkworkworkworkwork, hence not being around much.  Hi to everyone, hope you're all keeping well.  Anyways, not sure if you've all seen this yet, apologies if so.....

A dude in Texas is making me a guitar, I got a pair of Nailbombs from Tim and sent them over a while back, guitar should be completed soon.  I got a call from the guy yesterday, he'd never heard of BKP until I sent him some.  A U.S. mag, Musicians Hotline, did a piece on BKPs, Nailbombs being the reviewed stuff.  Was very cool to hear what they said and it certainly made the guitar builder keen to hear them in action.  It's cool that from seeing them in the mag it rung a bell with him and reminded him he has a pair right there with him.  Here's a link to the article online I've found:

I love the closing line:  "My rating for the Nailbomb is nothing less than a Golden M.  End of story."

Sh*t, I don't know what a Golden M is, but sounds good to me!!  :P

Cheers!

N.

I think it is because the name of the site- Musicians Hotline. Presumably they dish out their "M's" in an assortment of hues and gold must be the zenith of their levels of esteem.
