I'd like to try a couple of the P-90 models - Nantucket bridge for sure, maybe the Blue Note neck.

You need to do this. :)

As for me I think I've BKP'd all the guitars I want to, so in order to justify more I'd have to buy another guitar. Hmmm.

P90 , as I don't have any P90 guitar , just wish BK made some nice looking cover for it , not so old fashioned  8)
Well if you go HSP90 you get a certain choice. My Supermassive Stockholm set (the "uber Swedes" as I now call them) are black battleworn and I would not be suprised if BKP is able to do most of, if not all the range of covers for those two.
With normal P90s it unfortunentally is different, as those are not even metal covers if I am not heavily mistaking.

But with how nice they are you should be able to get the entire range in HS size if you ask nicely, they are that nice. So if fancy really strikes...

My regular format Stockholm P-90 has a black plastic cover.  The only other option is a creme plastic cover.  Very traditional.  No chrome metal covers, although I suspect you could find an aftermarket one that you could fit.  The P-90 covers are not fixed to the pickup, they just slip over the top and are held on by the two screws.

HSP-90s yes I think you have a choice of covers.  From memory the only thing you can't get is uncovered.

It won`t be extraordinary and surprising especially recently, but I have to try Juggs set at some point. I definitely have to dig up my old Mayones Flame CS 2000 (Ibanez copy) which hasn`t been properly used in years, restore it and bring some life into that baby by putting Juggs.
But the list seems to be slightly longer... Miracle Man set grabs my attention as well! Someday...

My wallet along with my credit card have already jumped out of the window once they read that  :lol:
Dean Cadillac - Emerald (b), Cold Sweat (n),
Mayones Flame CS2000 - Miracle Man (b), Sinner (m), Aftermath (n)
Warmoth Custom Telecaster - Cold Sweat (b) VHII (n)
Warmoth Custom Tele - Miracle Man set

Ah, I've still got plenty of contenders for BKPs.  :lol:

I'm not really tempted to change the pickups on my Gibson P-90 guitars, but my MIJ Epiphone and Burny Juniors and Special could certainly stand pickup upgrades.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

My Pig-90 had a battleworn finish when I got it.  I actually put a nickel cover on it though.
So many pickups, so little time

Cool P90 cover!


I just got a Blackdog and two slowhands for my baritone black top tele. Can't wait to try them in that guitar! After that I'm very tempted by the Mules. I used to be a high output kind of guy, but lately I have been very much preferring lower output ones.

I'm wondering what the juggernaut would look like with a gold cover since it has 2 rows of adjustable pole pieces.  Any one have a decent picture of one with gold screws and a gold cover?

edit. found a warpig version which would essentially look the same

What next on my list? There are still plenty Bare Knuckles I would love to own that's for sure. I'd love to have an A-Pig set and I'd love to get another Miracle Man with the matching neck pickup. Another Cold Sweat set appeals as I've had them before and really liked them and I'd love to get a set of Black Dogs as I'm sure I'd love those too. Kiichi is also keen for me to try P90 pups and I certainly like the sound so the Stockholms and Mississippi Queens appeal very strongly. All of these may happen in the future but I'm also intrigued by the idea of an improved Super Distortion as I feel like the 70s roots of such a pickup would fit nicely between my Crawler and Holydiver equipped guitars. Unfortunately, BKP don't make such a pickup so I'm currently talking to someone else about a custom design and I think that set may come before the Bare Knuckles listed above.
BKP owned:

Bridge - Emerald; Cold Sweat; Crawler; A-Bomb; Holydiver; Miracle Man; Sinner; Trilogy Suite

Neck - Emerald; Cold Sweat; Crawler; Holydiver; Sinner; Trilogy Suite

+1

Out of the A-Bomb, A-Pig, Cold Sweat and Stockholm the Stockholm is my favourite of my BKPs, ,followed by the CS.  The other two I'm not sure I've used them in the right guitars.
