Artists using this pickup:
You musical style(s): Rock,blues
Reason for pickup change: The Seymours were ok but had a mid spike that made them sound a little nasal with some of my sounds.They were noisy too and I think they needed to be potted(again?).

Perceived output level: I've got some Bare Knuckle Stormy Mondays and these are definately hotter than those and certainly more aggresive than the Seth Lovers.Not a distortion tone though, hot PAF i guess.
Tone: Warm bass, not too mushy, strong mids(reminds me of Gary Moore)and overall a really clear sound.Not brittle like the Seymours.
Sonic evaluation: 50w 70's Marshall combo and a few pedals, overdrive ,chorus, wah.The less the better for me.The pickups drive the amp really well, more than my Stormy Mondays which I bought first although the tone is not dissimilar, just a lot more of it.This time I went for a calibrated pair of humbuckers and the balance is great-punchy bridge with loads of prescence and a warm neck that still has a touch of hollow honk to it(very G'n'R).

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: Most types of rock and blues from '60s stuff upt o now.I'll have a go at anything that catches my ear. I was really pleased with the Stormy Monday I bought before christmas which I put in my Gibbo and the tone was so good I've decided to change all my guitars over to Bare Knuckles. The set of Mules really sit well in the PRS and work great WITH the guitar whereas the Seth Lovers always sounded like replacements(if that makes any sense!).The Seymours are going up on ebay now, they were fine but tin comparison to my Mules sounded very plain-the Mules really have TONE.As for positions, the calibrated pair(don't know what the neck one measures at)that they made for me seem to be just right for the positions they're ment to go in, these guys obviously know their stuff.

Comments: Stolen?As I said in my last review for the Stormy's - theguy better be able to run fast!
Been playing along time and tried plenty of combinations of amps and guitars - keep coming back to the mahogany/maple guitars and Marshalls always seem to sound good whatever.
Bare Knuckle's attention to detail is great, not only do the pickups sound amazing but the service is good too - didn't have to wait long, nice packaging and free strings too.Thought the strings might be a gimmick but they were good ones(Everleys I think)and it saved buying a set when I did the change over.Emails and questions were always answered and quickly too - they even mailed to check I'd got them ok and that I'd got them installed without any problems!
Like I said I've tried most stuff, pickups too, over the years and these Bare Knuckles really do it for me.It's a funny feeling but it seems like one less thing I have to worry about now as the two sets I've had have been great and I now know where I'll be going for the rest of my guitars.The range seems well thought out and I'm looking at some Black Dogs next.
Satisfied?100%! Overlook these at your peril.
