Got hold of my BKPs, sent the guitar over to a tech since the active EMGs and pots were all replaced with the correct impedance push/pulls.
Got a call from the tech saying there was a wierd mismatch with the labelling on the pickups...both the warpig and cold sweat I ordered have a little tag with "bridge" on them.
I ordered a bridge alcino v warpig with a neck cold sweat to be used as a pair, the BKP boxes were marked correctly- long leg, 4 conductor, warpig bridge and cold sweat neck respectively.
I checked the warranty cards insdie each box and the DC was written down in biro for the cold sweat as an Alcino V 8.3kΩ "Bridge-Neck". This checks out with the BKP page detailing the cold sweat neck DC. Given the the bridge cold sweat is a ceramic 13.7KΩ pickup I chalked the little plastic label down to a simple error.
Now I've got the actual thing I'm not so sure...Although I've never played a cold sweat, the neck should have a pretty strong treble response, or at least feel brighter than a warpig bridge. That said, it really doesn't sound like it, the neck sounds completely mellow almost muted- I do have a multimeter- but I paid quite some price for the tech to fit and solder everything to the new pots and am really aprehensive above taking it all apart to test.
I've double checked I'm not being stupid and confusing my pickup selector position with the wrong pickups. I can knock my knuckles against the bridge pickup selected and get the appropriate "ring". Likewise with the neck.
Is there any other way you can suggest I check/test this without resorting to desoldering everything? If needs be I'll do it and send it back to the folks at Bareknuckle to double check, but I'd really like to avoid it.
