Thanks for the info Steve.

Ketzer · 07-09-2009, 02:14 AM

Time for my next build to be H/X/S?

YES.

caughtinamosh · 07-09-2009, 03:32 AM

About 6 months ago, Tim told me that he had plans for 7 string single coils. Hopefully they *will* come to fruition.

onefingersweep · 07-09-2009, 05:32 AM

Thats cool but something that really NEEDS to get on the market is singlecoilsized humbuckers for 7-strings! Good quality and great sounding ones.

Apophis · 07-09-2009, 05:37 AM

Great news I think

Eric is my hero.

ohio_eric · 07-09-2009, 07:27 AM

Thank you good sir.

caughtinamosh · 07-09-2009, 07:29 AM

I want to be just like you when I grow up.

ohio_eric · 07-09-2009, 07:35 AM

You are wise indeed.

caughtinamosh · 07-09-2009, 07:40 AM

I believe sevenstringj had a stack pickup rewound by Tim. That's another product which I'd really like to see Bare Knuckle introduce.

ohio_eric · 07-09-2009, 07:44 AM

Tim generally hate stacked single coils. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Why?

In a humbucker, do both of the coils have an influence upon the sound? If so, then that's the only difference that I can think of between a stack and a humbucker.

I guess a customer could always ask Tim to wind a humbucker with as much single coil character as possible.

ohio_eric · 07-09-2009, 07:53 AM

Stacks and humbucker are different beats. I've heard it explained but I can't remember it well enough to rehash it here. Though a stacked single coil actually gets louder when you coil split it. A humbucker will get quieter. Something to do with the frequency cancellation and such. When I get time I will use my righteous google fu to enlighten you.

Ah yes, your Google fu.

Cheers! I've never been able to understand this.

It is under consideration for the current Sii-7ex, though Rob would need the pups to size the routes so we'll see how soon the BKP singles become available. I've got an idea for a second Sii-7ex with different woods kicking around though, so if not this one then the second one will definitely be HSS whenever I get around to ordering it

Sang-Drax · 07-10-2009, 08:40 AM

Awwww man... now that I've already ordered a H-X-H body?

Either way, great news

technomancer · 07-10-2009, 08:50 AM

Well, keep in mind it could be a while before these are available, Tim mentioned they were going to do 8 string pickups a good ten months or so before they were released... it's just good to know they're coming (hopefully he makes the zinc base plate option available for the seven string versions as well)

renzoip · 07-10-2009, 09:28 AM

Awesome, I might be getting a set of BKP for my next Carvin DC747 if they are out by the time I get it!!

Oh? What were they before this?

Didn't he already have 7 string singles? Or was I dreaming?

Ketzer · 07-13-2009, 04:05 AM

they'd rewind single-coils you send them.

Which got me thinking - is there likely to be a huge difference between "BK rewound" single-coils and "stock BK" single-coils? Do the materials used have a big effect?

and? add another mag pole piece? How does Tim know what to add? or are they mainly A5 poles?
