Show off... ;)

Jamieh:
Which Bare Knuckles are you using? Great pickups, I've got a few sets in various guitars and they all sound excellent (especially when the amp is cranked! ;) ). My faves are still my first set of Black Dog's, though the recent purchase of a VHII is steadily becoming a serious contender! ;)

They are VHIIs in the Epi. Great pups, but the guitar doens't really do them justice!
 
The best pickups I have found on these old Tok's is the Demarzio's-
one exception-
I bought 1 pair of Lindy Frailins-
the tone is sweet !

Tokai LS70F Violin Burst (MIJ)

Tokai Rockinbetter 12 string (excellent too for a MIK!)

Fender 2006 MIM Standard Strat (main gig guitar - they now are fitted with Med Jumbo frets and are a good deal)
Fender Lite Ash Strat (Black finish birds eye maple neck- superb MIK build and spec for the money)
Fender MIM Deluxe Player Strat Blue Ash body, rosewood neck (Ebay bargain with the Noiseless pickups)
Fender MIM Olympic White Rosewood neck 70's reissue (for Bridge of Sighs moments...)
Fender Lite Ash Tele (as above...Natural finish birds eye maple neck)
Fender FMT Telecaster (as above, factory fitted SD hums w/coil taps, polished frets, mahogany/flamed maple - a bargain)
Fender MIM Nashville Telecaster
(Sorry - I love Tele's for their simplicity!!!!)
Line 6 Variax 300 (in a new body...with Strat neck, a vast improvement on decent electronics in a cheapo basic guitar)
Gordon Smith GS2 (handbuilt in Manchester) - backup for the LS70F on "Les Paul only" occasions. A great basic no-frills guitar
PRS SE Custom - don't really get on with this, body is very heavy, not as nice as the Tokai LS70F. Likely to be an Ebay casualty soon!
Gibson SG Special - fitted with two SD Phat Cats, this is produces a great sound through the valve amps - "Tommy" era Townshend
Gibson SG Standard - bought in a sale for a bargain price, spends most of it's life in case though...
Jim Reed Ash Jazz Bass clone

Boss SD1 - MIJ original
Boss SD1 - modified new one

EH Mini Q-Tron - great for Bass a la Flea/Bootsy Collins
TC Electronic M300 reverb (brilliant - forget Behringers, this is around the same price. Will be upgrading to the G-Major at the end of the year)
Pedalboard - hard wired true bypass loops built in for the "buffered" pedals like Boss.

Laney VC30 - decent speaker fitted, still use from time to time
Couple of low wattage handbuild valve amps by Chris Uff (from Essex) - 5w single EL84 head used at home, 7w single EL34 head occasional gig amp plus just taken delivery of an 18w Marshall clone (2xEL84) with tone stack bypass- will be tested with the LS70 on Saturday!!!!
Marshall 1x12 Cab (MDF - good Celestion speaker fitted though)
Award-Session 2x10 Cab (ply - two decent Celestions fitted)
Lne 6 Spider 2 (backup gig amp - function band)
Borrowed 1973 Marshall 4x12 - belongs to the band and the cab I use at most gigs - speakers replaced as old Greenbacks blown long ago...
Vox VT30 Valvetronix 1x10 - great for around the house, speaker changed for Celestion, much better
Awaiting delivery - Vox 212BN 2x12 Cab (a bargain in the UK if you have two decent 12's spare, under ?150 for a ply cabinet)
