Don't worry Captain, as long as you're not playing through an Axe FX you're usually welcome in this forum  :D

Err, I've found some pickups that I like better than BKPs.  Whoops.  :oops:

But I still like my BKs  :)

I'm in 2 minds about getting a custom guitar. I feel I'm not worthy of one because I play the same boring stuff all the time haha. But it would be nice.

I dont really know if thats a shocking secret or not though. I dont think I have any others other than I dont use expensive patch cables because I think they're a rip off and my tone is just fine without them.

Nothing to feel guilty about, I have loads of non-BKP pickups.  Even some of those EVIL hum-cancelling ones which are supposed to sound like vintage single-coils (although I am finally starting to be be convinced by the "true single-coils sound better" argument... or maybe I'm just less bothered by hum than I used to be).

Hmmm, what can I confess?

I can't actually play guitar to save my life...

...but you already knew that.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

If you're not worthy of a custom guitar, I shouldn't have any guitars at all.  You can play 10,000,000 times better than I can.

If you can afford it, buy it!

I've read some good things about those.  They're not my choice though  ;)

And if you can't afford it, buy it anyway.
