Members outtahear Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 Have a set of Mules-nice pickups. Put 'em up with WCR/Sheptone/Wolfetone. Cool that Tim winds specific models towards a particular artist's tone Really nice packaging, too! Practically gift boxed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wyatt Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 I liem'em, but with the exchange rate at 2 to 1, a HB is $300. For that, I can get a use Tom Holmes and for less than 1/2 of that, i can get anything cusotm wounfd for me by a good half dozen makers or so. So, I have to just sit and wait for at least the next election, but probably longer for the dollar to rise again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexJHolland Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have a bare knuckle warpig in my SG that arrived back from the workshop only Friday, I am so far impressed, very thick and great clarity. It needed raising to get the lead screaming a litle more, but it is very articulate, heavy funky string muting is the best I've come across yet - it is very revealing though, I am confident this will result in my playing improving further.

Members Pankot Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 +1 on the warpig. It's a very versatile pickup - hot enough for getting heavy overdrive or distortion, but without sacrificing the clean tone. It is a shame for you guys in the US that the exchange rate makes them so expensive... but on other hand I can stock up on spares from GFS for peanuts..

Members csm Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have three different BK PUs in two different guitars: a Mississippi Queen HB-sized P90 in my modded Epi Jr slide guitar, plus my JD Tele now has a Yardbird bridge PU and a Strat-neck Irish Tour up front. All three are fabulous: the MQ turned a peezasheet into something superb, and the other pairing elevated the JD from 'excellent' to 'masterpiece.' Love 'em all, and Tim Mills is available on the other end of phone, and seriously helpful when consulted. Wealth warning: NOT CHEAP.

Members strtdv Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 I've a set of Irish Tours in my strat. They're amazing, just what I was loking for, and the customer service is 1st rate. But they're expensive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr.Tramples Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 My interest is piqued, I've got a SG that could use a bit more punch. Are they really worth the hefty price tag? considering the conversion, it works out to be about 160 CAD, that is pretty pricey. Any recommendation's for some humbuckers?

Members ElviraG Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have a set of BKP's and they're fine but BKP is just one of hundreds of pickup manufacturers - I think they're pretty expensive compared to other equally good small manufacturers so I'd say talk to other pickup rewinders and tell them which of the BKP's you like and ask how much they'd charge to build you a similar set. You could start with these two..... http://store.manliusguitar.com/index.html http://www.catswhiskerpickups.co.uk/ These guys both listen to what their customers want and produce it a lot cheaper than BKP.
