i'm going to pimp BKP some more on the HC forums once i get my engl, they all love clips of different stuff on there... will have them guessing what pickup i'm using out of a list (emgs, SD, dimarzio etc) :P

Its amazing what people say in posts like that, there was a good one where a few people said 'i like clip #2, that has to be the X2N, its the best pickup blah blah, EMG 81s are too cr@p sounding and sterile'... only trouble is, it was the EMG 81 on the clip they all picked :lol:

Easy to weed out the BS people from those who've actually got their opinions from USING different stuff!

Sidetracked, but yeah, BKP for world domination!


that'd be an awesome idea- a lot of  the guys on HC are very set in their ways

and on a side note, i can't wait to hear your pickups once you've recorded them in the studio, mr pig!

Yes Steve! Conquer Europe! I'm sick and tired of listening to live bands with a cr@p guitar sound.

Most bands don't even use amps anymore. They just plug it into some digital device that's plugged into the PA.

Spread the gospel of good tone!


 :D For the record Ratty there`s nothing wrong with using Digital devices instead of amps, & yes you can tell the difference between what P/U`s are being used with digital devices.

Tim & the boys do a great job & provide an excellent product & it`s hand made to boot, He also took gambles with his own money to start his business he deserves all the money he can make !!   :D

I've seen a number of bands play without an amp. Everyone I heard sounded bad. Guitars ranged from PRS's, Teles and Music man. They all sounded the same. At times I could bearely hear it was a guitar.

Dunno if it's the digital things or the PA or the guy operating the PA. It could also be the huge amount of effects they put in the mix.

Whenever I see a band with a 'normal' miced amp, it sounds like a guitar.

I can hear the difference too, but with my Vox Tonelab SE, the sound through a PA is s-o-o-o close I'm happy with it for most things. Of course, I don't use much in the way of effects. And I wouldn't record with it either, except just messing around at home.

Rich :lol:  :lol: ...if only
Building a solid foundation is what I'm concentrating on at the moment and that means every penny is going into new tooling and constant advertising.
The biggest tip of the hat has to go to you lot.........without users/players there'd be no BKP!

YOU SOLD US OUT TO MCFLY DAMNIT

BKP SELL OUTS!!"(*)"()(&!!!"2!!

















:lol: heh, good news, at least they will sound good live...imagine the backlash on the HC & other forums if Seymour Duncan or EMG announced that Busted or McFly were using their pickups!!

I think its great, shows that BKPs are for everyone, and theres something by you guys good for any musical taste or style :)

I was watching McFly on telly a while back...i think Girls Aloud were on the same programme (thats my excuse  :wink: ), and man, they have some nice equipment. I think I saw Top Hat amps? and some other stuff, I cant remember specifically but hey, I remember being impressed.

I suppose when you're minted and famous it gets easier, the quest for tone.

I'm no McFly fan, but I always had a little bit more respect for them than Busted. I think it was that surf-music bit they put in '5 Colours...' I kind of realised then that whilst I completely do not like their music, they know what they are doing and you have to respect that! PDT_003

So what pickups are they using then? Warpigs?  :wink:

McFly have some serious gear...there's an interview in Guitar Buyer. I don't have a problem with them, they're producing product for a specific market and good for them. Hell, plenty of people I know who were into early blues and r&b had a similar problem with The Beatles in their early days....

Mcfly are using BKP's!!!!?????

well I think I like them a bit more now I know that they actually have a taste in their equipment and they don't just jump up and down pretending to play a guitar.

I think I would like them  alot more if they had a decent British name instead of that nancy American sounding one.

MMM
Im sorry to be persistant...but I'm on a mission to build the most badass guitar of all time.
