New BKP Day :P
« on: September 23, 2006, 11:34:10 AM »
WooHoo

Tim IS Da Man.

Called him Thursday and ordered new pups and this morning (Saturday) first thing they arrived!

I was wanting to put some (proper :)) pups in my EBMM Petrucci for ages but was undecided on what to get.

Well, Tim had an idea and I certainly did'nt object :)

So, THANKS Tim!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I now have a pre-production set of PAINKILLERS  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Just getting situated to fit em (to say it's tight/complex inside this Pet is an understatement, circuit boards etc. and it also has the piezo option, steady hands needed, gulp).

Bring The PAIN(killer) AGGGHHHHHHHHH!  :twisted:







went with zebra bridge and reverse zebra neck.

Clips of these and Custom Warpigs VERY soon, day or so!

well, done it, phew. Thats few mins/hours etc. off my life, that was TIGHT soldering on a pcb!

Anyway, what can I say?
IMO, Tim does NOT make a bad pickup so superlatives kinda get boring.

Thus far, THIS (Painkiller) is THE pup I have been waiting for.

Bear in mind I only have Warpigs and Custom Warpigs.
But with this in mind, these pups have the most orgasmic natural crunch and sustain for days.
Need to play alot more (only been through Mesa thus far, my ear is still deaf/in pain as Doc. was not much help till next week  :cry: so my hearing is not exactly on par/in stereo right now for good review). But thus far I have been smiling like a 'cheshire cat' and banging out Living After Midnight etc. LOL.
These pups are WONDERFUL! I adore the dual ceramic magnets!!!!!
The tone (straight off bat) is kinda classic NWOBHM and that being the starting point you can just imagine the tonal possibilities of amp tweaking/pedals etc.

Thankyou Tim, you are a gentleman and a scholar and a pickup GENIUS!

Painkillers RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

Wow, they even have the little feet and short legs (rather like myself) to fit properly in the Music Man.  Talk about attention to detail!

So is this the is the very first set of Painkillers in the World?

Tim has one other set out there he said.

These were custom made (Thanks TIM!!!!!) for my EBMM, and he is  very up on this as an LP and EBMM was used for the testing of the pups.

They look great, guitar looks much better with zebra pickups in it. Need some clips when you ear gets better :twisted:

What material is the Petrucci body? Interested in a PK for my strat when I get round to replacing its pickups.

alder is abit 'darker' me thinks.

Basswood is used usually a.cause it's cheapish and not 'endangered' and b.as it is 'touted' as being neutral to let the pickups sound as they should (am sure to start summit now though LOL, just my opinion and what been told/read).

So are they faster than a laser bullet and louder than an atom bomb?
You should have got chromium plated boiling metal covers tho :lol:


I'm very jealous too... :(
I think I'll just go to play some Electric Eye into my room

LOL

due to Pet pickup cavity it was safer with open coil.

And YES to the other  :twisted:

Actually they are INSANE and sooooooooo dynamic/responsive. Course, makes amp work hard as they are quite different than C.Pig and tweaking is req.

What I intend to do tomorrow is find a setting that BOTH axe's will work with and leave it! Play exact same riff on both guitars, this should give a good reference between the C.Pig and PAINKILLER.

And am doing this at Andy Boulton's place (ex. Tokyo Blade/Shogun, Feline knows em) so might twist his arm for some insane stuff too  :P
