Thin Lizzy style drive from a Strat? I need help!
« on: April 29, 2006, 03:19:24 PM »
Hey BKP, I have a 2005 mexican 50's reissue strat and the bridge pickups tone is a real let down :cry: , I was wondering if loading it with a sinner would do much good, cos I wanna get tons more drive out of it :twisted: . I use a vox ADVT 30W with various pedals bt just cant get a decent sound, help and recomendations greatly appreciated.

The Sinner would be a good choice,its loud,fat and really drives. It would really overpower the other two single coils though,may be worth checking out a full set of BK's. See you at LGS.

The sinner is an amazing pickup.  I use it in the bridge of my strat and my other two single coils are mothers milk pickups.  The sinner doesn't over power them and I have an awsome #2 position.  Most importantly the sinner offers great overdrive tones.  I'm not even playing a lot of metal right now, just classic rock type stuff and the sinner sounds great.  Its the only strat bridge pickup I have felt comfortable with while playing in the first position.  It doesn't have that one and only stratty sound, it is much mre versitile like a humbucker.  It sounds good clean and has a lot of low end.

Thanks for the help guys. I tried out some pickups at LGS and ended up buying an Irish tour which through the amp I used (which was a Framus Dragon half stack, a large step up from what I'm using at the mo), produced exactly the sort of sound I wanted to hear. So I didnt get a Sinner in the end but I got a free T shirt! And I think the Irish tour will suit my style of playing too. Thanks very much,

Just to say thanks to BKP for a gr8 pickup, the tone is top notch and much more versatile than my previous stock pickup. I'm sure I will be buying more of your pickups in the future. Thanks very much,
