Does anyone know a release date for the Painkillers?

I heard a clip of them and feel that they may be in my future, does anyone know if Tim let the cat out of the bag on these? :twisted:

most likely the Music Live show in november

Ah yes, it looks as if that will be a great show to attend. I for one am a Guthrie Govan fan and would like to attend for that reason alone. Now the question is can I wait?

Saw Guthrie last Friday with his project GPS when they supported the ever brilliant Y&T
Was great stuff- Guthrie is a great player

We will have the Painkillers in stock as soon as Tim gets them out
I am so looking forward to it - was chatting to him about them today
He is apparently just waiting on the box artwork labels

They are sooooooooo worth the wait :twisted:

Dakine, do you have the Painkiller and Warpig in the same guitar? and if not do you think they would work well together in an SG?

Dakine · « **Reply #6 on:** October 07, 2006, 01:11:19 AM »

Stuck to calibrated sets thus far, so no.
Warpigs in a Custom SG
Custom Warpigs in Explorer
Painkillers in JP6

Not sure about that combo, should work but the tonal range is quite apart and different magnets.

Would ask Tim, but am abit dubious myself.

a friend of mine at music college has a friend who has painkillers, don't know if they're forum members but I tried them out and they sound pretty damn fantastic

Do we know the specs yet?
I guess it's a ceramic magnet, but any idea of the DC resistance?

Dakine · « **Reply #9 on:** October 16, 2006, 01:10:59 PM »

no paperwork with mine as Tim had'nt finalised the packaging etc.
But if remember rightly when talking to him awhile back they are in MM ballpark (did'nt test before fitting either). And yes, ceramic.
And Def. Fantastic :twisted:

hey, I read a mini review of the Painkiller in Total guitar this month. Apparently they get their name from one of Primal screams albums...

Bit of info for ya! They should be out soon if they are advertising them in guitar mags.

Umm, Primal Scream huh?

Ever hear of JUDAS PRIEST?

Ask Tim.

BTW, they are so BAD that Primal Scream would poop emselves playing em. I think K.K. and Glenn would Lap Em Up however!
