At this rate we're all gonna get banned from the forum
I was just thinking the same thing after my wild active pickup love just now. But I've given Tim quite a bit of cash over the years:

vintage trem
stormy monday neck
a4 mule bridge
a5/a4 mule set
riff raff set
vh2 bridge
rebel yell bridge
holy diver bridge
cold sweat set
painkiller bridge
miracle man set
slowhand set (+baseplate bridge)

thats most pickups in the range i'm interested in though, i'd like a sinner, some sort of telecaster pickup, and maybe fill in some of my missing necks, perhaps a PG blues set too.

I have two sets of original gibson dirty fingers - I really like them and won't be replacing them for BKPs!

I've never owned a Fender (ok - think i got a strat in a trade but sold it on in a week)

That is a bit of a shocker! :o 

(I've owned about 20, maybe 25 if I include Squiers and bitzers  :oops: )
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

I've never owned a proper fender either, nor do I really plan to. If I get a tele or strat I'll probably just get a warmoth.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing now, putting them together from parts (even if a lot of them are actual Fender parts).  It's nice to have some control over things like neck shape and body weight.

That is not shocking. The old Dirty Fingers were the pickup equivalent of a hydrogen bomb. A really big one.

When I play mettals, I prefer single coils.

That is shocking.

I like you even more now. :)

Here's mine: I do own a Fender product. A tuner. And even that they can't do right, it's the worst tuner I've ever used.

Never owned a Fender, never owned a Gibson or even a Squire or Epiphone.

I've never tried Seymour Duncans or DiMarzios and I quite like EMGs.

There. I think that'd enough heresy from my mouth today.

well, i really like the sounds i've got from the stock pickup in my hello kitty squire.

that being said, i plan to put in a VHII, hoping it'll make a good sounding guitar go stratospheric

Hi five! I love emo. My Chemical Romance can $%&# right off though. If you wear mascara you're doing it wrong.

I like the "real" emo stuff like Rites of Spring and Indian Summer, but whats called emo nowadays is just shitee (MCR etc). I do like Jimmy Eat World though.

Now I have my setup as I want it, been playing with the polepieces and loving them. Sorry guys, no CS after all.
I don't have much to confess really other than my number one having the DF.

Maybe that I don't play enough full songs, and work on theory... but thats natural right?
