Hey guys, probably discussed here before...
But I'm planning to build a new body to my Strat... this time with single-coils...
The tone I'm looking for is this:

It may be heresy but i'd say that Mother's Milks capture the Blackie sound perfectly.
BKPS: Milks, P90s, Apaches, Mississippi Queens, Mules, PG Blues, BG FP 50s, e.60s strat custom set

I don't know much things from Clapton :oops:
Does this sound is the classical Blackie sound?

I'm not a huge Clapton fan either, but I think of the Blackie sound as that thinner, wiry sound he had on his '70s albums.  

And I imagine the Slowhands to give that fatter, more midrangey tone he had in the late '80s and '90s.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM
