Got my BKPs ! NEED WIRING HELP :(
« on: December 21, 2007, 06:29:31 PM »
I got my Cold Sweat and Warpig today!

I missed the postman by under an hour, so I went into the city and travelled all the way to the main Royal Mail building, handed in the slip and came all the way home which, not shown, is a hell of a hike.

But all that effort was worth it!

I must say I'm impressed even without soldering them in, the packaging, the humbucker is like a freakin' bar of gold! :D

And these are my first pickup orders too :) Glad to have chosen BKP

NOW - I need help, solder and soldering iron, I have a soldering iron 15W (pretty weak) and some solder (seems really difficult to 'melt' as such.

And see as it's my first time soldering etc. I don't really understand the diagram either.

P.S. Will post pics soon when I install my phone camera program on PC.
Another P.S. My guitar has a coil tap.

25w soldering iron would be best, try to get some 60/40 lead solder if you can.
 If you are really unsure as to soldering get a tech to do it for you.
 Where are you based?
 If you fancy doing it yourself PM me and I'll send you some solder if you can't get it

I ordered it on Tuesday night (11pm ish) and then got them today. :)

I'm extra happy that I got them before Christmas and the fact that it's my birthday on Sunday!

Congratulations on the BKP's.

I've heard only good things from both these pup's, in the players section.

What guitar is that, you're going to fit them into?

It's an Indie signature guitar.

It will! But it's not the final guitar that I'm gonna have these pickups in. Once the 2008 Series is out, I'm buying one and putting them in that.

Plus it gives me a reason to clean up this dusty bar-steward. xD
