Hazarding any message board can be a risk, but the name brand ones are just generally a slog...
Someone making accusations that are apparently hard to substantiate...maybe the pickups he got just gave him a different result from what he expected? Also lol @ the slam that BKPs are "toneless," I'm sure my Aftermath is completely different from anything Duncan offers but that's not for lack of tone. This is also the first time I've ever heard BKP accused of having quality control issues...
re: the Duncan forums empty accusations guy: Even people who make empty accusations will claim they don't, so he might just be blowing hot air.
As for the actual pickup recommendations, I know there are some guys around who've had experience with BKPs and Duncans, so surely there's one or two guys around here could help if anyone actually needs that advice still
