Liamoc123 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hey guys, I'm getting custom build in a few months and really need to decide on pickups. Haven't tried anything out yet just looked around the net. I thought I wanted the BKP Motherbucker in the bridge until I read what was said on here about it :/ My other choices for bridge were Rio Grande Crunchbox, BKP Nailbomb or BKP Warpig. Also I'd like for the neck pickup to give a nice warm, glassy stratocaster-esque tone, what's everyone's thoughts on BKP Mississippi Queen? or Rio Grande Jazzbar? ^^ All previous Bellamy pickups but they seem to be what I like Also gotta point out the body will be Mahogany and the neck Birdseye Maple Any other suggestions and demos you can direct me to would be helpful. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse 101 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Glassy in the neck with a Mahogany body? Go with a real single. The Suhr FL is as hot as I'd go. The Rio Grande is the closest that you've listed but it would be too much for me. JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveno1 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Anyone know what the motherbucker hot p-90 combo sould sound like with a mirror finished guitar?

milkybar=] Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 some red/red lace sensor duallys or a bare knuckle nailbomb yes a punch in the face to whomever guesses why i thought of those two first when i think of pickups basically i need something to replace my weedy sounding single coil in my fender tele, so im gonna get it routed for a humbucker and then coil tap it, i need it to sound pretty big, have a nice sustain, yet be able to coil tap it and still get a single coil sound out of it. duallys tempt me because i can redo my guitar into a tele plus and then that will be ossum nailbombs tempt me because they sound big open to suggestions?

Don'tPostThePear Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yesterday i realised that i only use the bridge pickup in my HSS guitar, the neck and middle pickup got absolutely no use in the last year. But they are shit duncan designed stock PUs. I thought about getting something really bright in mid position and maybe a single sized humbucker in neck position. (for match the bridge volume) Is there any worthwhile pickups made by the cheap guys (GFS, Iron Gear, etc.) for these positions? I don't wanna buy something overly expensive because i am still not sure about if i ever gonna use those PUs. Also i can sell these cheap ones in 1-2 days if i won't need them.

OneWhoGoes Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 what's everyone's thoughts on BKP Mississippi Queen? Have one in the bridge (not the Manson custom wound, the original one) and it's awesome, middy and with a lot of clarity, the chords are now very sharp with distortion.

Liamoc123 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I ideally want a higher output in the bridge but I'm gonna have to try some out in different positions to find what I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
