hello im new
« on: February 18, 2009, 03:37:45 AM »
just thought id say!
been using some BKP's a while and thought id join in the forum

I have an LTD EC-1000, chucked out the EMG's and put in a SD '59 neck, and Miracle Man bridge.
and my baby is a les paul custom with Emeralds, due to be replaced with Rebel Yells.
I also own a 1979 double cut Gordon Smith Graduate (serial 00156) which is yet to have BKP's.
amp wise i have a 50watt jcm800 2205 with KT88 power and few other mods, 6V6 powered 3ch Dual, and a soldano avenger.

my band...

no we dont! we should be!
ive seen people dislocate their knee, get knocked out. during one of our shows people started throwing food at each other, tipping over merch tables and frizbee'ing records around the room full at force, then throwing the merch tables at each other! ive seen a sofa in a venue get ripped apart and thrown all over the place.

it actually effcects my gear choices. like if i have any pedals about the floor someone, usually our vocalist, will run all over them and either brake them or just tangle wires around em. so i only play with a tuner and a wah. im trying to branch out to a delay pedal too. means i have to hide my pedals which means looking like a cool SOB while playing solo's on the wah is REAL hard. ive been pushed back into my 4x12 and Amp a couple of times. one real bad show i nearly hit that so hard almost tipped over, same with our old bassist, but when i looked over to him he was just kicking backwards hard as hell while playing bass to stop that happening to him.

sometimes its really quiet!
haha

here is my LTD in a poor photo. '59 neck, MM bridge. (cts pots and a sprague cap)

Welcome indeed Dmoney  !

That guitar of yours really does look the business, I love the satin black , the control layout , recessed toggle switch and well - everything .  :)

I do not play the same style as you, but if weilding that guitar it would certainly feel like a 'weapon of mass distraction'.

As 38th Beatle said, I hope you enjoy the fun and banter.

cheers everyone.
id just like to say that other then what im playing there, i do like a bit of woodie guthrie, robert johnson, paul lamb & the kings snakes. all sorts. some nice indie. band of horses. the band american football. velvet revolver.

so many people that play what my band plays use whatever guitar + EMG's and a 5150. i will say a lot of the time it sounds the same. i like to think i spend a bit more thought on my 'tone' even if im not the most accomplished player. hence why i use bareknuckle.

my Rebel Yells are waiting for my at the post office!!!!!! tomorrow i will post my les paul in the gallery! sweet!

1st: Hi and welcome to BKP Forum man!
2nd: An Avenger!!!!!! droool
3rd: Emeralds are a very rare choice in here. I'd love to hear clips with em and your Soldano!
4th: Looking at that video, I would definitely go wireless if I were you (have seen too many ripped out input jacks or fallen amp heads) :O)

do you want my avenger? honestly its a piece of cr@p and im debating throwing it away. or at least driving to manchester and smashing it over the floor of sounds great music. no im not joking.

wireless aint a bad plan. it might come across as cheesy.haha.
ive seen full stacks get knocked right over, ive had a pint tipped into an JCM 900 i had. luckily ive never had anything like my amps being totally ruined, (the JCM was actually fine, robust!) or jack plug being snapped off in the inputs on my heads due to people jumping on my stuff. i did loose a homebrew medicine bawl wah to a swift kick. i dunno what broke in it but i never worked right again.

Nice gear bro, cant check out your sites cos im at work, do you guys play some type of hardcore by the sounds of it?
had many rough shows when i end up worried for my gear.
yeah, im also keen to hear whats wrong with the avenger? i wanted to get one but theyre stupidly expensive down this way. was gonna try and pick one up when i was in canada last year but spent too much money on booze in the few months of holiday prior

Really?

I played an Avenger for an hour once at half volume (that was darn loud), and it was smashing.
What is wrong with yours?
