I took out my 7 string last night to have a go, since i've not played it for a while, and to see if my initial impression of the BKPs not being as nice as the Holmes was right. When I plugged in the BKPs into the same pedal and same settings as what I normally play in my Hardwire, I got the same familiar nice organic and harmonically rich tone. It was still open, and well balanced. Still harmonically rich. Basically, still nice.
Then I made a mistake. I switched immediately to the LP with the Holmes.
Now, like I said before, this isn't a fair comparison, because the guitars are different, and the pickups are different.
But Damn! I didn't expect it to be this bad. The holmes are a lot more open and airy as compared to the BKPs. They were also a lot more complex sounding compared to the BKPs. and oddly, they were also LOUDER! The Holmes set made me suddenly realise how compressed the BKPs were. And I thought they were nice and open all along. Well, compared to my previous DiMarzios and what not. Even thru the Metal Distortion, the Holmes was still a lot nicer! Bigger sounding! Though not as compressed as I'd have liked for a Metal tone, but a bump with the TS808HW would sort that out. I was surprised to find out that I was enjoying the A2 magnets in the holmes set much more than the harsh A5s in the BKPs.
Shit. I don't like the BKPs anymore... And Tom Holmes doesn't do 7 string PAFs... Maybe I should order the 7 string Mules or Stormy Mondays?:twisted:

I found myself suddenly very enthusiastic to clean up my guitar room. I bought several of the guitars out and decided to capture a photo for remembrance as I will probably clear some amps in the near future to increase space. I hope you like the photos. The larger ones are at http://marklange.typepad.com/blitzkrieg/guitar_playingcollecting/
Holy crap! Reinhardt!!!

its a SJT 10/20
There is no difference if the parts in your amp are stock. It will still sound original.
Useful info for players and amp techs.

haha thats what everyone says.... but when you'd played enough you will know the difference and what you'r missing out when you use step down transformers as they are not intended for our country's voltage. Yes, we can argue that the little things are neligible but then again it depends on your threshold or tolerances for such stuff but if you were to A/B two amps of the exact model one running on local and another running on a step down you'd be hard pressed to not hear the difference....or at least feel it.
But then again, I'm anal about such stuff. Most ppl are like ah **** it, just plug and play la!
What is the difference between a 100V current in the USA and 100V current that is generated by a step-down transformer here in Singapore? and what will that difference do to my tone?
