Comments

Right then, bare knuckle are a small uk pickup manufacturer provided hand wound pickups with hand finished covers the old fashioned way. The Warpigs themselves are the highest power pickup's you can buy anywhere pretty much and come with a range of options upon ordering such as the choice between alnico v magnets or ceramic magnets, four conductor or standard two conductor wiring and now with the option to have either the hand distressed covers or distressed black. My options were hand distressed covers with four conductor wiring and the slightly rawer sounding ceramic magnets. The bridge pickup's average at 22.5k dc and 17.5k but there is variation because they are hand built to order and scatterwind then double wax vacum potted to eliminate microphony! I Fitted these in my epi les paul zakk wylde bullseye with a page style wiring mod to allow split, parallel and phase reverse as i wanted to get away from the emg cliche and make the guitar my own! As standard humbuckers they are ravenous brutes easily seeing off emg's offerings the bridge pickup is raw and brutal almost sounding drop tunes when its in standard open e tuning, the neck pickup is much thicker yet not muddy and with masses and masses of sustain. Both pickups are easily capable of forcing a tube amp into breakup. Yet burst into a quick flurry of notes and they will sear and sing with a soulfull note and scream wildly to pinched harmonics, back off the tone and they still remain clear and tnefull, drop the volume and they take on a hard rock route suited to the likes of early aerosmith. With the coils tapped they sound by no means dissimilar to a strat with lace sensors or even maybe a tele thats overdriven somewhat to get a growl. When the phase are split its almost wah like but emphises pinced harmonics to maximum effect. Bare in mine whilt you read this i use coated light 10 guage strings! The instuctions within the box are really clear with numerous different wiring combo's and they come with a pick, sticker and a set of rotosound 10's. Should you still struggle to wire them then tim at bareknuckle is more than helpfull, it seems they go out of their way to help you! The lok of these bad boys id way cool turning my normal looking epi into something crazy looking, the pickups themselves in their hand distressed armour look like they should be attached to the end of a mace on a chain to beat away invading hordes! All in all with these pickups you get what you pay for! Q:How much different does a pickup make? A:You'd be shocked!

Liked about it	monterous brutal bass response and tone without the sacrifice of batteries! Great customer support from bare knuckle medieval torture device looks
Didn't like	erm.... i can't think of a single thing, i really can't. They are er.... no there isn't one, but if i do find even one i'll make sure i edit this!
