I'd thought to say hello
« on: January 29, 2007, 04:17:52 PM »
Hello  :D

I just signed in in this forum, and thought I would introduce myself for a bit here.

I am Dennis, 26 yrs old, and from Holland.

I have 2 guitars equipped with Bare Knuckle Pickups:
- Kritz Stradovarius with a Nailbomb calibrated set
- Music Man Silhouette Special with a Nailbomb at the bridge and Irish Tours in the middle and neck position.

I am trying to build my own 7-string guitar, in which a 7-string ceramic Warpig and a Cold Sweat wil be installed. I hope it will be ready soon, but I have 2 left hands, so it might take a while..

I am also thinking of assembling a strat style guitar, to be able to have some nice Knopfler and Shadows tones, but I am not sure which pickups to use....hell, maybe I should stop thinking and go with Tim's advice to use Apaches  :D

Oh, and before I forget: I am a lousy guitarplayer :D

Yeah!
I already thought of that, but I am a little bit stubborn sometimes!
But chances are I go with the Apaches, I heard some nice sound samples in the Players section.....but that is the problem...I heard some nice samples from the other pickups too!!

Depends really.
TBH would kill to be drinking a Negro Modello in Texas right now.

But a close second is a 'real' Heineken surrounded by blonde cuties in Holland :)

yes, maybe I should just do it  8)
In my other 2 guitars Tim adviced me, and that worked also, so why not here, right?  :D

Absolutely right-Tim is invariably right in these matters and I think that Apaches are his favourite single coils. A few days ago I let a friend use my Apache laden Strat-he was knocking out rock and blues riffs all night and had an huge grin on his face.

I always have that with my Irish Tours.
Selector switch set to neck+middle pickup, a little overdrive on the amp, and trying to play  :lol:

Yeah I know where you are coming from-the Slowhands do that well too. ow if I ever get another Strat, I think it'll be Irish Tours but the trouble is, I would have to sell it again to pay for the divorce that would follow.
