New Pickup Day...

[Philly Q]

It's funny how different pickups are having all their time of being in fashion on this forum. If someone would make the effort, he could surely map out a history of BKP hype phases for each pickup sold by tim. So recently the CS is the hype, let's see who's next :O)

Lets try to big up the Abraxas bridge and the Sultans!  :lol:

We go through phases of people having the same pickup.  Mules were crazy a couple of years ago, as were SGs with RRs and SMs.

We do the same with amps too!

Mules are still my favourite :D Just got to crank my laney a bit with the Muled Epi and forgot how good they sound through it. I think the pig 90 is whats causing my fizz though :( The low input helps a bit but its not quite right somehow.. maybe its the 10s? Epi has 11s :)

11 on everything :twisted:

I want to try the Abraxas at some point but this Cold Sweat is going nowhere at the minute.

My Mule set ain't going anywhere - they're boxed away for a rainy day, or until I get bored of the Cold Sweat and want a change.

I really like the Abraxas set I have in my CU22.

I've seen the neck pickup get some attention, but nothign really for the bridge. It's quite a versatile set of pickups! :)

Urgh, I've been lusting for an Abraxas set lately. I just need another guitar to put them in  :lol:

[Antag]

Is it just me or has everyone just realised the CS is a great set? It seems like everyone is fitting them and they are getting a lot of love right now.

Yeah, the CS neck has long been very popular, but only recently has the bridge model started getting some attention.  I have to admit I'm one of the doubters (those comparisons with the Duncan Custom really bother me - I hated the SH5) but I'll probably take the plunge soon.

lol
I've noted this too
there was a time where nobody had interest in the holy diver

IIRC Philking was the first on this forum to get one of the "new spec" Alnico HDs, TO (or D'n'L as he is now known ;)) borrowed it & recorded a youtube clip, but I was probably the first on this forum to really rave about the HD.  Felt like I fought a lone battle for a while until the Holy Diver got the popularity it deserves...

let's see who's next :O)

Lets try to big up ... the Sultans!  :lol:

I'm ahead of that trend too - Sultans were my first BKPs :)

Yeah, and as far as I know you and Phil are the only people (on the forum, at least) who've got them.  Get that sales pitch going!
