Is there any new Bkp coming?

[AndyR]

Hi Andy, I did forget to mention that the neck pickup in the BG Flat 50 New Wind is also different.  After playing the T-Tops yesterday, they are great, they have a big open rock sound, think 70's.  I strung the guitar with 50,40,30,17,13,11 and they have a huge bottom end which I wasn't expecting but sounds fantastic with the JTM45/Ear Candy combination.

And this extra post is just plain cruel :lol:

- especially as it's probably the T-Tops that sparked the most interest as I was reading...

It's probably not helping the OP, JP666 though - these experimental ones all seem to be catering for someone with more "vintage" tastes.

Hi Andy, I did forget to mention that the neck pickup in the BG Flat 50 New Wind is also different. 

Is this replacing the existing BG50 set, or an alternative?

I hope Tim comes up with names for these new sets, they're going to be confusing if they stay as they are....

An alternative.  I like them but these are in a '62 mij Tele custom with a left handed bridge and my bg 50 flats are in my 57 tele, so there is quite a difference in guitar sounds before starting on the pickups.  If I can put down the T-Tops, I'll pull the Teles out this weekend and do some listening again.

I'd like to know more about those T-Tops.

[dheim]

not that i have heared of, they are going to start covering seven pickups which im really excited for

this could be the final blow on every attempt to suffocate my 7 strings GAS. oh my... :)

Hummm this T-Tops sounds interesting!!!

[AndyR]

:D

I can hear the growing chant, it started as a whisper, but now more and more are joining in...

"T-Tops, T-Tops..."

But I'll need another guitar!! :roll:

I hope this isn't one of those "obvious but wrong" comments which sets the buzzers off on QI, but....

.....don't we already basically have T-Tops, in the form of Riff Raffs?  :?

Tim would really need to tell you all the differences Philly, but the DC of the T-Tops is like a low end Gibson reading (7.6/7.2K) where the Riff Raffs are at the higher end (especially the bridge) (8.6/7.4k).   I'm still trying to get a good work out with the T-Tops (my job has me at work 12-14hrs most days), but from the bit I have played them, I would say they are not as shrill as the Riff Raffs can be (when I first fitted a bridge Riff-Raff to my LP I was not sure about it at all).

[Philly Q]

Thanks Phil.  :)

[Twinfan]

T-Tops eh?  Hmmmm......

[Will]

I'm also interested where the T tops fit in, how does it compare to the A5 Mule, Phil?

69 Strat Set - David Gilmour meets Bare Knuckle - AV 13K.5.6K/5.6K
.

Is that right? A 13K single coil bridge? Oh my goodness!

[Prawnik]

Probably the BKP take on the old diMarzio FS-1, which was in the bridge position of David Gilmour's black Strat, among other guitars.

I may installate an original vintage FS-1 in my '69 Strat.

And aren't the Sinners already well hotter than 13K?

[MDV]

My old (now gwems) uber-sinner clocked in at 23k.

I dont know if the aftermath will be a main line pickup, but if you want one I imagine Tim will know what youre talking about if you asked for one.
