DO YOUR MUSICIAN FRIENDS COMMENT ON THE SOUND YOU'RE GETTING THESE DAYS?

[TheIronBeast]

Yes actually. A couple of weeks ago my band played a gig at a pub in Glasgow and after the gig some guy asked me about the strat I was using and how the tone sounded really great, I told him I was using BKP Irish Tours and he said he would have to check BKPs out. It's nice to get a compliment once in a while.

Happened last night with a guy coming up to me telling me my gear sounded superb. I did the usual BKP selling job and he seemed to like the Laney VC30 too. Something else happened last night -I was told my playing was Awesome ( or did he say awful?)- that has never been said to me before.Methinks he doth over do it somewhat.

I'm sure your playing IS awesome, Steve  :)

I'm down with the kids.  Some guy told me my guitar sound was "sick" at one of my recent gigs.  Took me a few minutes to realise that was a good thing......  :lol:

I've had a few, but I think it's more to do with my amps than my BKPs.........

+ 1 billion.  I've got nothing but raves based on my amp. No one gives a sh!t about what pickups you're using. With another musician who has a good ear for tone in a controlled environment, maybe they'll hear the diff. @ a gig when the drinks are flowin' ... it's bullsh!t. No one cares. (That doesn't stop me from using them, of course, but the layman doesn't give a rusty fart what pickups you're using)

This. I officially love my tone, and its really all about amp + guitar. The rest is icing on the cake. But the cake has to be good! ('82 Navigator 335 into '87 JCM800 4103). Funny thing is that I refused to put anything absolutely unnecesary between that, so all I have is an EHX LPB1. All comes down to guitar and amp. Everything else is like fancy boots on a footballer; useless if he's a dog.
