No it was actually mainly the bridge although i do use all of the 5 positions at different points. it could be the cornford that has made it a bit bass heavy.
cheers for the feedback

tsc tsc, i didnīt say BK pickups are cr@p. i didnīt say that i only like or know or play extreme metal, iīm not a narrow minded junkie or something like that.

i Liked the playing(very good, way Better than mine), i liked the Sweet Tone(again, not bashing tim and his hability to make excellent pickups, and not bashing our friend that make the effor to post this awesome clip) and i just thought(since all of you lead workers like a good bright tone for soloing, doesnīt matter if blues, jazz, soul, funky, heavy, bluegrass etc) it could be a Little, just a Little little more Bright on the bass.
But sorry if you understood me Wrong. now iīm clarifying things up.

I LIKED THE PLAYING.

Very Very Cool!

This is just how i'd love to sound in a smoky bar with a beer, trouble is I don't sound that good anywhere.

Nice one.
