Bootcamp videos (Rabea)

[Dave Sloven]

Okay so I went and checked out the Bootcamp videos that Rabea made (on the BKP site).  Out of each range these are the ones I liked the most:

Old Guard: Humbucker

True Grit: Toss-up between P-90 and Strat.  The P-90 has the edge on a high gain tones but I really liked the Strat cleans

Brute Force: Tele was a clear winner here

What did you think?

Not sure- it's pretty hard to tell with the current videos. I'll be after another mid-hot humbucker set soon, but until I can hear proper sound samples recorded with the same guitar, amp, mic, etc as the other BKPs there is no way for me to compare the Boot Camp pickups against a known standard. It's a shame because the True Grit humbucker set could be exactly what I want but I'll never know.

Just to clarify:

I was comparing True Grit models to one another, Brute Force models to one another, etc

Just which one sounded best to you out of the pickups/applications.  e.g., do you prefer the Strat, Tele, P-90, or humbucker out of the Brute Force range, etc

The True Grit P90s sound the best to me in the video, I think, but it's hard to isolate them entirely in the mix to hear them clearly enough to really know how they sound.
