Operation B.K.P. status.. EPIC win snatched from the jaws of failure.

Well folks.

I just tried the nailbomb that I scored after getting it home from the techs..
And it makes more noise than a single coil pickup out of a chibanez. :spock:
And the tone, Umm.. I would rather listen to cats fight to the death all night long than play the guitar for 5 minutes. :noway:
Its makes the PAF7 I had in the bridge sound like a dream.
Actually the PAF7 is going back in the bridge asap. :eek:

This pickup is that bad noise wise that I do not want to sell it on. :nono:
(it was used , so no warranty)
I do not know if these pups are ment to sound like this or if this 1 in particular is defective, but its not a sound that I would wish on my worst enemy.

I thought my mate had wired it up incorrectly when I 1st got it.
Turns out he got it right .. its just the pup makes that much noise its beyond a joke.

Operation B.K.P.
Status.....
Epic Fail.......

You absolutely sure it's wired up right? Honestly it sounds like the phase is reversed between the coils
Just had a thought - why not post it up to me and I can check it out?

That sounds like the best idea I have heard scince Operation B.K.P began.
Its allready been a few weeks.. A week or 2 more will not kill me. :metal:

This could be the start of the most epic packing bean war ever witnessed by mankind.
*Note to self....conduct research into packing bean compression technology.....
I have a Nailbomb in the bridge of my Splat KxK. I don't have noise issues with it. Well not any worse than any other pup.
There has to be something wrong with either...
1.. the pup itself.. the former owner said it was noisy as a mofo.
2. the wiring...
I have no idea......

So......

Ill send it to Dan and let him work his mojo.
Time to let the Professionals take a look.
Because if you had a comp between myself and a monkey to solder a guitar pickup................... I would place a bet on that monkey. :eek:

Cool, I'll PM the address. Honestly dude, it could be as simple as swapping 2 wires :lol:

Knowing my luck it will be that simple..
I should just take a snap of the wiring in the back and send it to ya..
:rofl:
DPM should be able to work out the kinks he's the most familiar with bkps.
It's not the pickup unless there's something horribly wrong with it. The Nailbomb in my KxK is extremely quiet and sounds great.
my neck nailbomb actually replaced a dimarzio paf and it was like litterally 10 times better, must be something up.

Literally? Like, you measured?

Aww leave him alone hes half a retard anyway :lol:
Many thanks for the replies.
I hope it gets sorted sooner than later. :yesway:
hm????
the nailbomb in my Carvin 7 sounds great, very quiet.
The Nailbombs in my ES335 (yes, I know) also sound great. :scratch: They are a little noisy, but I think that that's due to my dodgy wiring skills. I must sort that, now that I come to it.

EDIT: We need Stitch in here. His Painkiller(s?) had to be sent back to Bare Knuckle due to a similar sound problem, I believe.
Aww leave him alone hes half a retard anyway :lol:
now this mesurment is offical. the 10 times was just an estimate, it might be between 9 and 11 times better in reality :p
And the plot thickens.. Muuahahahahahahahahha.

Turns out the tech that looked at it the 2nd time did not rewire my mates job that was done incorrectly. :eek:
So......Back to the tech with the correct wiring diagram.
I will let you know how I go. :p

(Yes I know Im a douchebag) :rofl:
And you're taking it back there? :scratch:
