gaps in the BKP range? - ideas...
« on: January 20, 2008, 08:11:48 PM »
I'm 95% a humbucker guy, so I'll just comment on those.  Here's what I'd like to see...

* a hotter PAF pickup, around 9k with that fatter kind of 'hot PAF' tone with more compression (think of Duane Allman).  Name suggestion... Hot Lanta

* a Slayer pickup - I don't think there's anything in the range that really nails that tone.  needs to have tons of mids, hot as a Warpig (around 22k) and a tight bass, but definately mid-focused.  Name Suggestion... Chemical Warfare

Anyone else got ideas?

Surely you'd want Angel of Death...

I think if Tim introduced more pickups it would be even more confusing... :crazy2:

I'm well happy with the BKP range as it is, but if i could pick something I'd like to see a wider range of humbucker sized P90's, and also maybe bring the mini humbuckers back. :D

I think the painkiller nails slayer/the slayer vibe (cos I dont think slayer need all that much gain).

Great idea, mind you.

Were it not for the option of a C-Pig I'd like to see a really powerfull (pig power) ceramic pickup. But then with my C-Pig and 23k MM being my favroute pickups, I would!

The function of the ultra-powerfull metal ceramic is there with custom orders, but I would like to see a model for it.

'Chemical warfare' is great.
Also candidates

The Davidian
Batttery
Damage inc.
Angel of Death
Hell Bound
Inhuman (origin track: savage tone; give it a listen!)
Deliverance (Opeth, a5 I think, but is a cool name!)
Seed of Vengence (Nile song, black seeds of vengence)

And what I would love it to be called, but it never could be

$%&#ing hostile

Edit: Not neccesarily a Pig wind, though. But the C-Pig would be the best starting point for the ultra-powerfull ceramic.

i'm sure many people would like more strat sets.

the 9k PAF idea is quite nice, but doesn't the VH2 sort of offer that already?

Also, wouldn't "Chemical Warfare" be a Tele set for that East Bay Ray tone?

I think you are talking about the VHII or Emerald and Warpigs.  The rest is the player/amp...

I'd like to see a couple single-coil sized humbuckers... that's the only thing I would like to see added to the lineup.

a pickup nailing chuck schuldiner's symbolic and sound of perseverance tone called either "Crystal Mountain" or "Spirit Crusher"  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:
Even if the range doesn't REALLY need it the names for the pickup are well worth the addition  :lol:

I like 'em although a GnR themed set, surely the easiest name has to be Sweet Child?

Crazy Train set would be a good idea.

A Dimarzio Super 2 clone set, as Josh Homme used in the glory days of his Ovation Super GP's, called The Regular John set.  8)

More models should be added to the BKP90 range.

That would be sweeeet.  :D
