My BKP Cobra demo!

[Serratus]

Just finished this guitar with a Cobra set so I thought I'd record a demo!
I'll do more of a review once I've gigged it, as I always find I really understand a pickup better after playing it in anger! But it's a lovely set, lots of proper single coil character but with more balls when needed! Awesome for early VH sounds in particular, as well as all the normal blues sounds, etc :)
Anyway, here's the link:

That was top.
I feel like converting one of my rg550 to sss now.

Wow, that was awesome! Ever since BKP offered the Cobras in white I have been very intrigued to get a set myself, but I am a bit afraid of going too far away from that classic strat tone. I thought they sounded great for blues in your clip though, so I might just have to stop worriying and start purchasing
Would you say that they kind of fall between two camps? Left the Fender camp on its way to the Gibson camp, but not quite there, kind of? Or do they have one leg in each camp?

That was great - I forgot I was listening to a demo. Terrific playing and amazing tones. The Cobras sound incredible and the Kemper is stunning.

An fantastic demo and the playing alone is enough to warrant compliments. The pickups sound amazing too- the versatility is emphasised in the clip.

I think that they're still very much strat style pickups, especially on clean and low-gain sounds. But they cope really well with more gain, and then they feel quite similar to a low output humbucker (though obviously without the hum-bucking!). I tend to find that a 'normal' low output strat bridge pickup can sound really thin as soon as you up the gain, whereas these sound fatter (although still with not as many mids as a fat humbucker, but as I said, similar to a low output humbucker).
As I said, I'll know more once I've gigged it
