Yeah, i emailed him and he was really friendly and informative. The forums over there have a ton of clips and people who have some more experience with them also.

They rely on word of mouth and keep the production the way it is, which is probably why they're so good, cos their products don't get watered down

IMO the Lundgren website is pretty slick, with the soundclips and everything.

I've always wondered, do the 7 string pickups come with covers? And if not will they make them with covers?

He already told me they wouldn't make ones to fit in an EMG route, not even for more money, but I forgot to ask about the covers.

Ah well It's not like I can afford them now anyway.

Excellent review Cody, I find it hard to explain the sound of the Nailbomb but what you wrote is exactly what I hear from mine. I was blown away by the clarity especially the low strings, I never imagined that a pickup could sound like that and be so full and clear, I was in shock when I first played mine.

Fraid not man. There aren't any companies that make them unfortunately, and Tim simply can't justify the outlay the equipment would cost them. Likewise with getting mulitcoloured bobbins on the 7-string models - they'd have to buy the machine themselves and they couldn't do that without raising the price of the pickups they sell, which Tim refuses to do.

[Mattayus]

how do i get in contact with Tim? there's an array of email addresses on the website but which do you use for a general question about suggestions and advice etc?

I don't think it really makes much difference - they all go to the same place. I think I tend to use sales@bareknucklepickups.co.uk.

Since you're in the UK, you should definitely try calling instead - much easier to talk things through, and you never get pressurised into buying anything.

Ok man thanks I'll give him a Burton C later on

The 7 string Nailbomb can be heard here
New tune - "Condemn Him To The Handibus" (Mesa/Orange/S7320/Nailbomb/Superior)

Install notes: These have the screws that come through the back of the pickup. We trimmed them down to install them because otherwise they would not fit in the stock Ibanez route, and unfortunately, didn't trim them enough and now I can't lower the pickup much further than it is already.
