How addicted to BKP's are you?

[Will]

I think I'm happy with my Dirty Fingers in my XR1, although I'm always thinking what would ____ sound like in it.
Not addicted, but I am open minded

[ToneMonkey]

I'd go for B as I get enough of A at the weekends.

Haven't actually got any BKP's, just stay around here for the larf.

I'm dedicated to my girlfriend so I get the best of both worlds if i go for the shopping with Tim :D

What would you choose between the two:

a) Having an awesome, hot party with amazing ladies that want to have sex with you all night long (and with other ladies). Free beer/Free ladies/You're the only guest.

b) Free BKP shopping together with Tim.

Surely the whole purpose of playing the guitar is to get a) and the only reason we even act like wanting b) is cover the shameful truth.

[Roobubba]

Three of my guitars have BKPs, the others are fine just as they are.

I guess I'm not that addicted  ;)

that's three pairs, right?

Grrrrr...

Have BKP's and other brands depends what suits the guitar

Yup.  3 pairs in 3 guitars.  Quite a low percentage of my collection actually...

I suppose I'm in the same position, most of my guitars don't have BKPs - but most of the pickups I've bought in the last couple of years have been BKPs. 

It's the first place I'll look but I certainly wouldn't dismiss other brands.

With my older guitars I'm either happy with the pickups or I can't be bothered to change them.  The new guitars are more likely to get BKPs, but I still buy things like minibuckers and P-90 sized humbuckers which BKP don't make.

[Will]

p90 sized humbuckers? I thought they were mini humbuckers?

[Philly Q]

p90 sized humbuckers? I thought they were mini humbuckers?

No, a minibucker is fitted in a P-90 cover when it's on an LP Deluxe, but the cover's just acting as a mounting ring.  I mean this kind of thing:

[Will]

I knew the cover was just for mounting, but it is effectively still p90 sized hum.
Thats just using the p90 cover as a pickup cover :P

[Philly Q]

Well we're both nitpicking now, but a mini-humbucker's not a P-90 sized humbucker, it's smaller than a P-90.  It's a mini-humbucker sized humbucker.  :P

It's a totally different pickup in its own right, which happens to fit in a P-90 cover, but could also be mounted in a flat metal ring or on a scratchplate. 

Whereas that DiMarzio is specifically designed to replace a P-90 and nothing else.

[Will]

Philly, I believe thats a firebird pickup and not a mini humbucker
oh, I had to :D

Either way, I haven't seen that p90 humbucker before, only heard of stack p90s

Thank God someone else in here thinks the same way as I do!

The only bloody reason I bought a guitar was in the vain hope of one day looking cool enough to get laid...
