BKP's are based on what models?

[PhilKing]

Just to clear any confusion, the HD that TO was using is the new style A5, I know this because it is my pickup that I had collected at the 2006 LGS.  It was one of the first after the decision was made on which pickup would be the Rebel Yell.

Is this thread actually ABOUT anything?!

If so, can someone enlighten me before I take out my red pen and scissors and start to make a coherent thread out of it?!

I think the whole thread seems pretty straightforward to me...we've been talking for 3+ pages over what the pickups compare to, how they sound, and how they contrast versus one another.

[Watsonica]

None of the BKP models are based on other brands, just the sound, feeling and tone other bands create.

Miracle Man - Zakk Wylde
WarPig - Black Sabbath
Nailbomb - Sepultura/Soulfly/Max Cavalera
Trilogy - Wingnut Malmstein
Painkiller - Judas Priest
Cold Sweat - John Sykes/Thin Lizzy
Emerald - Thin Lizzy
Riff Raff - AC/DC
Mule - Warren Haynes?
VHII - EVH
Apaches - Hank Marvin
Irish Tour - Rory Gallagher
Sultans - Dire Straits
Mother's Milk - RHCP

and the list goes on!

Tim recently suggested that I try the Trilogy bridge pup for my Strat, was wondering tho, if anyone can guess what the 'Sinner' models ?

[plastercaster]

Early priest song I think

[The Silverwulf]

Early priest song I think

Could be, especially considering it talks about being the "metal god of grind" in the description...but I actually think they were using humbuckers back in the "Sin After Sin" era.

Still debating for myself among the Painkiller, Holy Diver and Miracle Man. Everyone says the Miracle Man has a mid-scoop to it, which may be nice with an upper mid heavy amp (Splawn).

The Sinner is basically a very hi output Strat bridge coil-I wanted something that would rival a humbucker in output and really wail in a Strat.......it put me in mind of KK Downings classic Strat whammy solo in The Sinner hence the name.

Really? Who is this everyone that says the MM is mid scooped?

That's pretty much what I'd thought, my friend from England has a few of those pups and really didn't know the origin, after plastercaster's post I remembered KK Downing and relayed that info.

By the way she will be the one ordering for me tomorrow (the Trilogy bridge pup)..I thought about what you wrote in the e-mail and decided that it makes more sense for what I play..a lot of clean stuff (jazz/Country thus the need for a "steel sound" every now and then) ..I'm quite sure at 15k it shouldn't have any prob getting into the P90 realm for the Rock stuff that I do..will e-mail again with more specifics.

I always picture KK playing it on his white Strat with a left-handed neck, but it's the sunburst in that clip.  Awesome!  :twisted:

I'm not going to dig through threads again to show specific comments, but I've ran across that comment quite a few times, as well as it having a smoother mid response than other BKP's.

Trilogy - Wingnut Malmstein

"Wingnut"...is that really a song or a group?  :lol:  or are you just playing with Malms first name  :?  :lol:

i find it a bit scooped
it doesn't lack mids, but it has a lot more treble and bottom end than center mids, so it's V eq'ed
actually the neck pickup seems to have a bit less center mids than the bridge version, but it doesn't appear to, cause it's very smooth on the highs and fat on low mids, so it doesn't give the mid scoop impression

I'm playing with his first name.

My dog is also called Malmsteen - when her ears go down to the sides her head looks like a wing nut!
