A pox on their opinions.
My Warpigs are damn clever, no doubt about it :)

I quite like the Warpig cover myself, but the guitar must have the same attitude :twisted: like that Giger RG from the gallery :

I really like the BKP cover options, but I'm obsessive about having all matching hardware so I stick to chrome or nickel.

I'd love burnt chrome covers if I could get burnt chrome hardware though...  :twisted:

why would you care what they look like? if they sound and play well, that's what I care about. Though, if dodgy 80's-coloured bobbins became available, I might change my mind.

Answered your own question there, Dave.   :lol:

But seriously, it's a £200 investment - it may be a secondary consideration, but I definitely care what they look like.

^ yeah, well I mean if they look like an old lada I mightn't be too interested, lol. But far as I'm concerned (excepting fluorescent-coloured ones, of course), standard-looking pickups are pretty nice as they are. Maybe I'm just boring... :lol:

EDIT: just to clarify, as that previous post might have been ambiguous, I'm all for 80's fluorescent pickups being introduced.  :lol:

Dont see what all the fuss is about as there are no covers for 7 string pickups anyway!!!

So rather pointless as a discussion

HA! Pwned

And, just to preach to the choir, its not the look, its the sound. But I love the looks BK offers anyway. That said, I have chrome, uncovered and camo sets and one black pickup so its mostly normal for me.

The black one is paired with a chrome pickup in an epi LP goldtop: it looks awfull! But it sounds great so I couldnt give a fuck.

I think you'd be suprised by how well cammo, battle scarred, or burnt pickups will blend in with your guitars, regardless of hardware.

Of course, I'm not really one to talk ...

I think we'll have to agree to disagree, Ben.   :lol:

Our musical tastes are pretty similar but our tastes in guitars.... aren't.  :wink:  I like your Rising Sun Strat - but if it was mine I'd go all boring-assed and put on a black scratchplate, a volume and [whisper]a tone control[/whisper].
