Student Discount
« on: October 16, 2007, 02:01:53 PM »
I would love BKP if they did discounts for students. I know there's a few of us here, and since I've been at uni my 'buying new gear' charade seems to have come to an end - since all i can afford is beer.
I have an NUS card... can i have a discount on some unpolished nickel mules please? Students of sound surely need the best tone!

......and a member of the foum of course  :wink:

Actually, does it still count if your NUS card is 4 years out of date?

Why on earth would Tim just start selling pickups at 20% off, when he can sell them at the normal price and still find more than enough buyers? :S

because he wants to support the music of talented young musicians (students) loyal to his brand (forum members)

a cut down package, with no strings, plectrum, springs or screws for example.. just a few models, no custom options.

Capitalism Rules!! thats why we can get BKps for around £100 instead of £300.

It is an idea, but I think the whole point of BKPs is that they are NOT mainstream with 'cheap' models.  

Would u expect to go to the Ritz and get a '2 meals for 6.50' option... no I think not.

Im a student, but I realize that some things u just have to pay for.

well maybe it does, maybe it doesn't... i dont happen to think so, but maybe the real problem is peoples greed.

i'm not a student and it looks like the guys were just fooling around, but i thought it was a nice idea. you wouldn't need packaging either, throw them in jiffy bag without the box. no ones talking about an 'all you can eat' type deal, bkp isn't kent armstrong as you say.

theres plenty of ways to make them a bit cheaper, without affecting quality or tim's profits too much.

As a hard working tax payer, I'm opposed to student discounts for BKPs.

Students deserve discounts on books, paper, pens, baked beans, cardigans, sandals, incense, Carlsberg Special Brew, Rizla paper & nothing else :)

You want BKPs?  Get out of bed, get back to work, graduate & get a job!

:shakes head: The youth of today, always wanting something for nothing :roll: sheesh :roll: :)

BKPs: HD, MM, NB, PK, CS, Ab (b&n); Am (b only); VHII, Tril (n only); IT, Slow, Sult (m&n)
