thanks for the inputs guys ! And thanks Philly Q for having developped your general observations !
I honestly would consider that kind of general-observations-post (from MDV and Philly Q above) to be important, so much so that I would even support the idea to throw them in another STICKY
« general recommendation for pickups purchasers » topic, at the beginning of this section...
That might also help people like me, who didn't try out (or own) all the BKP range, not to speculate in the non-experienced situations of the
« what pickups threads », even if it is done with the aim to help as much as possible, (with at the end the result maybe of non being
that helpful. :( )
Anyway I'd keep this :
Do - use the knowledge and experience of others. People that have done similar things are the best guides youre going to get short of laying out the cash to experiment yourself, and its why we all joined here in the first place; those of us that have stayed try to help and continue to learn about guitars and ascociated stuff from one another.
and say that's the exact purpose of this topic !.
....But not this :
Do - experiment, if you can afford it.
because, what twinfan said !
Not everyone can afford to buy a whole bunch of £90+ pickups just to find the one they like best. This is a discussion forum and we're discussing some examples of what has worked for us and what hasn't.
So which is why I think it would have been great for
this topic to comment on
your good/bad experiences of pup/axe matches, like, for example, the Legra PK'd you mentionned in the
"what if you'd have got just one guitar?" thread.
My legra, PK'd.
The best for the metal style I need it for and good enough for cleans etc.
Note that this
"what if you'd have got just one guitar?" thread is somewhere close to the DO experiences of this topic, :lol:
to be continued..... :!
