I must admit discussing other pickups in the pickups forum isnt something I'm clear on. I do think that this in particular shows a lack of courtesy; as dave says, all it was missing was an add to basket button.
As tony says though, we all use other pickups (or a lot of us do at least). I just went back to EMG for 2 of my 4 main guitars, and I dont personally see a reason that discussion of other pickups (their characteristics, not "I just bought some, heres a buy some link!") should be prohibited in general, and there are examples of it in the past. Tims also made it clear that hes unintimidated by other manufacturers (and made it clear that he respects quite a few of them, on this very board too). Its more been a matter of forum tradition.
We kind of act like mates in the pub in here...but its Tims pub and that requires a certain courtesy! You wouldnt go down the Red Lion and start shouting at the bar, landlord in earshot, that you just had 8 pints in the Nags Head, and the beer heres probably better, but more expensive so you arent going to try it for a while, just drink there and hang out here....would you? :lol:
Perhaps a mod or BK dude can clarify the matter....I notice Ben (TO/DnL ben, not BK ben) has been and gone since the thread started, so it cant have rustled his feathers)...for future reference?
