well dude im sorry to say it on this site but swinesheads are great pickups for the money....

That may be true, but how many BKs do you own to compare them against?
Looking at your profile and tracking down your posts, it looks like you don't own any BKs.

Ultimately, you get what you pay for ...

I own BKs and swinseheads.

Swinseheads sound great.

Edit: and I trusted my ears, not my wallet, on that ;)

I looked up the warthog and listened to the clip.

I think the closest equivalent BKP would be the Cold Sweat, even though it has a different magnet.

I think and believe that the swine will still give me a sound as good as EMG's and there what the professionals use. and there is deffinetly a complete lack of sound clips on this website...

Love it how some of the 'unknown' names on the forum come along and do a little bit of BKP bashing.

oh, Miracle Man is great for metal btw, you'll love it.

Andy!

Theres loads in the Players forum :?

Whenever the new site is launched there will be "proper" clips done by Tim for every pickup I think.

Lets not make a new bandwagon here. They have a point. Most of the clips posted are from people on the internet. Everyone has completely different hardware, so the clips in the players forum are not really good for comparing pickups to each other. The best kind of clips are what SD does. All the humbuckers are recorded with the same amp, same guitar, same program, and with the same settings. You can actually compare pickups.

Some of the clips posted obviously are made with cheap equipment and I don't understand how anyone could get and idea of what BKP's sound like with them. They sound like samples from SD or EMG.

We need more clips like what Steve Stevens made. Those clips kick ass. You can hear everything. Nothing muffled.

I think everyone -- including the BKP guys -- are likely to agree with this. But BKP is just a little company with just a few dudes working there, and there just hasn't been the resource to turn out loads of awesome pickups and update the web site (something which has been promised for a long time!).

We'll just have to keep holding our collective breath a little longer ....

In my opinion, the SD clips suck. I cant tell the difference between any of the models really, they all sound pretty similar.

Dimarzio and Bareknuckle have clips of their pickups being used in the context in which they are most likely to be used, which helps more than the SD clips, I find.
