Hey BKP forum, been a while!
The time has come for me to order another set of BKPs. My first set, some matched MQs for my Gibson SG, hasn't let me down over the years.
This year I have some new guitars, a new amp and a new band, so it's time to change some things up.
First off, my guitar is a 77 Ibanez Les Paul, with some Duncan's I believe, which I don't like. It's probably 6-8 lbs but I haven't weighed it.
I'll have to explain my setup a bit. My guitar goes into a nano pog, which sends my guitar signal through a boost, delay, and noise gate, into my Peavey 5150II. The pog also sends my octave signal through a looper and a bass synth (used sparingly) into my Fender Rumble bass amp. I play in D standard, and my vocals are often in the lower baritone range.
We're a very guitar-driven band, just a 2-piece, but with the various effects and vocal harmonies and the bass octave we actually sound very full. We recently opened for a 5 piece and sounded bigger than them
My tone covers quite a lot of ground, I like to be able to go from clean to wall-of-sound as fast or as gradually as I need to. This time around, for this guitar, I'm kind of thinking of a HSP90 neck and some kind of bridge pickup to match up well. We play original music but we've been compared to Queens of the Stone Age, Black Keys, White Stripes, Our Lady Peace...
Neck - I'm thinking Supermassive, Stockholm, or Pig 90 ?
Bridge - I don't really know where to start, perhaps the Rebel Yell?
Here's a sample of this guitar a few months ago, before I got the 5150II...
