Feeler thread: BKP Rebel Yell

Looking at moving a f-spaced Bare knuckle Rebel Yell model for the bridge. It's in a guitar at the moment, but IIRC it has most (if not all) of the original 4-con lead. It works like a champ, but it should obviously be considered pre-owned.

Here is the only possible rub. It came with yellow bobbins (yes, I know, don't look at me). Sort of a pale yellow, not like the DiMarzio desert yellow. So I out an original Duncan nickel cover on it, which fits the pole pieces to a tee. Nickel cover in excellent shape...once again, not technically new, but I'd rate it like-new.

So it'd be a nickel covered f-spaced BKP Rebel Yell bridge humbucker. It's an awesome pickup, but I just nabbed a zebra one and I don't think I'm gonna have use for this nickel one. I'd be looking at $100 shipped, via PP "friend", with tracking and it'd come with the nickel cover. And if you need a great humbucker with pale yellow bobbins, you get the bonus package.

Says:

'The Rebel Yell just growls with an even harmonic richness that I never hear in other pickups. It's so full of clear bottom and perfect pick attack. These pickups are in a whole other league - they're the real deal!' Steve Stevens.
When Steve first came to Bare Knuckle he was adamant that the signature pickups he wanted were not just 'another metal pickup'. They had to be capable of a whole lot more. This kicked off a year of development and road testing while Steve was on tour culminating in the Rebel Yell humbucker signature set.

Closer offset coils of 43 AWG plain enamel wire retain the mid range punch of the hotter Nailbomb but produce a tighter bass response with cleaner highs and more presence. This gives the pickup an organic voice with plenty of impact, perfect for any player wanting a progressive humbucker rich in harmonic overtones and wide pick dynamics. Steve uses his volume pot a lot when he plays, so it was important that the Rebel Yell cleans up well when backing off the volume, on top of being able to push a tube amp hard for a fully saturated overdrive.



Around 14.4k DCR

I think it's like a JB with more clarity and a more refined low end. Not as soft in the highs as the BKP Holy Diver. Players really like it in Lesters and Mahogany, but it's pretty versatile.

Will make a final decision within a week, so please send me a PM if interested. Serious interest only, please.



Thanks!
