Tim and everyone at BKP are making lots of guitarists' life better. Sounds like a very positive job. They really deserve what they earn. Not all jobs are like that.

Have to second what Peterku said, BKP's have certainly added that certain something to my "sound".

Go Tim & the BKP Team! One more step towards world domination! ;)

I spoke to Tim yesterday while ordering some Mother's Milks.  I asked him hole long it took to make a the pickups.  He said a couple hours to wind (and I assume wax) them and a similar amount of time to make the bobbins.

If you take that as 2 to 3 hours to make a set then £165 is well cheap for skilled labour and taking his overheads into account.  I doubt he'll be buying that Ferrari any time soon.

We wish! all money is invested back into the company and spent on the tooling to make better quality components exclusivly for us.

I'll definately go with Peterku. My tone was transformed after using BKP's and i will NEVER use another pickup for as long as i live.

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!

Well I'd like to think that Tim and the chaps do rake it in at some stage. S'far as I am concerned, they deserve to.

The people who really benefit from our increased business is you guys! It has enabled us to produce the worlds first completely vintage accurate components and afford time in the studio to record all the sound clips (studio time is now booked) and give us the motivation to push the business beyond the UK.

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!
