anyone notice new option?

[FELINEGUITARS]

I think it's all ok now
I suspect that Cookie Monster didn't realise that there are separate bridge and neck models of the Miracle Man, and to be fair the product description on the BKP website doesn't list that there is a separate neck model as the site is still awaiting the update which has been in the works for a long time now.
It's just that many of us already know about it that we maybe assume that others do as well

My apologies to you good sir. I was in a pissy mood last night, and very tired, and people on other forums had been making recommendations to me that were as if they hadn't even read my post. When I saw this thread, I was excited that I may find the answers I was looking for, and then when I read yours it just felt like another big disappointment, thus the rant. Again, I'm sorry for being so brash, and thanks for clearing this up for me.

I was rather taken aback - especially over the "misinformation" bit as I would always try to give the best advice and opinions possible.

This place is a very friendly forum , so please make yourself at home and get to know the guys.

You might have gathered that I have done lots of work for many of the guys on here, and looked after them well (and become friends with them), and apart from people upholding the desire for a flame free forum, they may have also wanted to correct the idea that I would mislead anyone.

Feel free to chat to me or anyone else here  and we'll all try to help you get the stuff you need to sound great.

i had standard black covers in a burst LP and it looked awesome, the closed covers should look even better.

Everyone is getting exited by these covers in black, but what I really want to see is some in burnt chrome. PDT_011

Yeah - that could look great
Or distressed ones like on a Warpig

One thing that can make a difference is the screw/slug arrangement under the cover
I remember discussing this with Tim a couple of years ago and if I recall correctly

1)You could have a plain (no holes) cover over a regular screw poles and slugs as long as the screws were screwed flush with the bobbin top, which should yield a normal(ish) kind of tone
2)You could go for double row of slugs  which would change he tone  a bit - it would reduce low end as none of the pole-pieces would be going through the baseplate and add a bit to the mids I believe.
I had a pair of painkillers like that in a Flying V I made a couple of years ago and it sounded great.
3) A double row of screws is the third alternative and with two rows of screws going through the baseplate it will up the bottom end a little.

I would have to renew the conversation with Tim to get the technical reasons for the traits of each option but if I remember correctly:
The magnetic field is altered slightly by the screw pole-pieces coupling with the nickel silver base-plate (not so true on brass base-plated pickups - Dimarzio and a number of other companies use brass base-plates)
