Which Bare Knuckle Pickups is this

whosdealin · 02-24-2008, 02:17 PM

I want to order a bridge pickup for a mahagony body guitar from Bare Knuckles. Here is what i am looking for in tone.

-Tight Bass response for quick triplet stuff (tuned to drop A)

-Enough mids to cut (playing in 2 guitar live situation)

-No harsh highs , smooth top end

-Harmoicly Rich for leads

-Clarity, no mush

-Balls

I have had a few different suggestions and I am a little confused now. Ceramic Warpig, Painkiller, Nailbomb, Miracle Man.

from what i´ve heard in clips, ceramic warpig is insane for that stuff! :P

I've got a Nailbomb in my all Mahogany Carvin 7 and it's not the tightest BK pickup.
I'd go with either a Miracle Man or a Warpig.

I emailed Tim with pretty much what youv said above and he recommended a ceramic painkiller + coldsweat for the neck.

I also mentioned drop A

My set should be getting fitted next week

painkillers are listed as being perfect for drop tunings. when my custom rolls around im getting an a8 painkiller made for the bridge

This is EXACTLY what happened to me, except Nailbomb Bridge. 6 string.

I was thinking maybes a Ceramic Miracle Man may be the thing for you.

Ive got a Painkiller coming for my ESP LTD EC-1000VHB, im keeping the Seymour Duncan 59' in the neck as it sounds great to my ear. Im also thinking about a Alnico V Miracle Man for my Fender Highway 1 Strat as well, still deciding on the 2 singles for that axe.

So what would the Alinco and Ceramic differneces be with the Painkiller and Miracle man.

maliciousteve · 02-25-2008, 12:50 PM

Painkillers for sure. It's the tightest pickup BKP produce and has the most mids and nice biting treble but not harsh. With an Alnico magnet it will loose some of the tightness. You'd probably be better off sticking with the painkiller as it is.

E-mail them direct and ask them all your questions. I can attest that they're very helpful, I had a half hour conversation with them to make sure I got the right pickups for me.
