Ramin,
What you probably want is
Show[bp, FrameTicks->{{0,Pi,2Pi,3Pi},Automatic},
Frame->True]
which works just fine. If you really want ordinary ticks on an ordinary
axis along with your frame, you can use
Show[bp, Axes->True,Ticks->{{0,Pi,2Pi,3Pi},Automatic},
Frame->True,FrameTicks->None]
When you set Frame->True, Mathematica automatically sets Axes->False
unless you countermand it, thereby turning off both Axes and Ticks
(this is reasonable). It also prevents you from using ticks on both
axes and frames, even if you specifically request it, as in
Show[bp, Axes->True,Ticks->{{0,Pi,2Pi,3Pi},Automatic},
Frame->True,FrameTicks->{{0,Pi,2Pi,3Pi},Automatic}]
In this case, only the FrameTicks are displayed. This "feature" is not
desirable; it would be better to give the user control, allowing the
use of both if the user requests it.
