Oh god the wait.
« on: January 09, 2009, 03:18:48 AM »
Well, just before Christmas I had my dealer put in an order for a ceramic warpig with battle worn black cover to go in the bridge of my Caparison Horus . At the time neither of us realised they were on vacation until the 5th of January until he tried to place the order. Well finally when Tim and crew got back on Monday the order was placed and the wait continues. Hopefully it wont take too long, but I am sure they have a lot of catching up to do. At least I got my Cold Sweat equipped Ibanez a week or so ago to hold me over. Although it is my first BKP experience and has blown me away. So it just makes the wait for the WP worse :( Seriously the tone and harmonics of the CS are like no other pickup I have experienced. It is so tight and articulate. Amazing stuff.

We all feel for you, but I think Tim and the crew deserve a Christmas break.

The CS is awsome isn't it?

I ordered a NB bridge with battle worn black cover, and a CS neck, just before Christmas, too... But , as opposed to you, it's not a problem for me to wait my handmade pickups, since I never tried BKP, I can tolerate my Seymour Duncans for a few days! :lol:

I ordered a set of Painkiller 7's right around xmas too, but I knew the crew wouldn't be in until the 5th so I was prepared to wait. 

I feel bad for the guys, the must be swamped!

On the plus side, it sounds as though business is booming. Given the 'current economic climate', I think we can all agree that this is a good thing!!

You'll absolutely love the new pickups when you get them in, too!

I'm eagerly anticipating my Abraxas set, too (even though it appears that noone else has a set :?), and I'm already dreaming about the next set I get :D

i'm waiting for a nice load of BKPs... a cold sweat set, a mississipi queen set and an AV warpig bridge... but the thing i'm really starting loosing my patience for is a U.S. Masters hornet performer i bought from a us dealer (it seems noone has got those guitars in europe!) too many days ago. i don't think the guy stole my money because he's got a BIG store (well, if he actually did i think i'll buy a ticket for the USA quite soon), but he's not answering my mails and so i don't know if he already sent it... and even if he did Italian Mail (i wish there's an hell for them) will certainly find a way to bounce it around for at least a month asking me to spend about the whole amount i already paid in non-existent taxes. i live maybe in the worst country of the planet.
and i know it.

yea, thats very true.. i have a NB on order and the thing that tipped it for me was that.. previously SDs could be bought for about £40 from the usa.. but currently, the lowest ive seen them here (since importing is a no no now) is £70-80... £90 for a BK is value for money

They must be totally swamped. My dealer told me he had around $2500 worth of BKP's to put orders in for when they got back to the shop.
