The Sinner is not "noiseless" as it is a true single coil in every sense of construction but excels with it's power.

It sounds like no other single-coil as it can easily challenge a humbucker loaded guitar yet it provides a massive amount of clarity.

To quote Tim "silly grin time" is guaranteed when you turn up the gain.

Welcome, nikhafizull!

BKP don't make any noiseless Strat/Tele pickups, they're all genuine single-coils.

Well I've got the over-wound Sinner which Tim compared to a single coil Warpig - If that doesn't get your juices flowing I don't know what would..

My Maple neck Lite Ash strat is very bright but the resulting slightly darker tone from the sinner really balances out the bridge for high gain.

Ideally I want a pair of Slowhands in the first two positions to complement as they have a greater mid-push than the Seymour Duncan APS-1 alnico II in there at the moment.

Add in the Dunlop 6000 frets and Tusq nut that Feline fitted and I've got a Werewolf in sheep's clothing. :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

I've been toying with the idea of getting a strat for a sinner for, oh, one wekk out of 7 or 8 for...since I found out about them. To play mecca-uber metal, but with a bit of a difference.

This. Isnt. Helping!

Is that some kind of Islamic-German thing?

Yeah, you have to practice 6 times a day and totally ignore your guitar during the ninth month of the Islamic Lunar calendar!  :roll:  :wink:

me and _tom_ were talking about this yesterday; Do you guys think it would be possible to have a irish tour wind, and then a tap, and then a sinner wind after that. Therefore with the tap on it'd be in normal mode, and you could switch the tap off for DEATH mode... :twisted:
