Good to hear you have started off well with things Nick. I would buy some but well It would be more expensive than just buying them when I visit my folks down there!

I love my warpigs, they are so grindy

If you haven't tried a set of BK, you are really missing out!

Thanks man. Which Warpigs do you use? I'd like to hear some of your thoughts in more detail. I'm about to throw a ceramic Warpig in the bridge of one of my Rico Jr customs. I can't wait to check it out!

Yes, you being in the UK it probably would be easier to just order locally. I think it would be cheaper actually to get it from me, but you'd get it a lot quicker if you got it direct.

It's a race. Will the pickup arrive first, or will the winner be the Snake Oil strings I've been expecting for the last 3 weeks?

For one, I'm gonna be annoyed if the pickup gets here first, haha.

Haha.

Snake Oil strings? What are those like?

I used to be a big D'addario fan, but these just blow them away in longevity and tone. They just sound better longer, and also have a slightly higher tension, which I like. So far, I've had a set on my maple Ibanez for a few months, and they're still in great shape. If I recall right, they're supposed to be able to last half a year without losing tone, so we'll see what happens.

I too, am waiting for my bkp and my snake oil strings......i heard the guy that makes the strings was having problems getting wire or something

That description is exactly how I'd describe my Elixir NanoWebs too, sounds cool

Which ones are you using? I know the make Nickel and "Rock Formula" sets.

i didn't really like elixirs in my baritone...they sounded bright and i don't like it.......actually i do not like the sound of new strings maybe that's the problem...that plus no VHT UL ...

I don't remember. Probably the nickel formula, since I don't need my Ibanez to sound any brighter. The ones I've ordered are Rock Formula, though. It'll work better on the mahogany guitar.
