Re: What do Bareknuckle pickups have that SDs don't?
I've been using bridge p'ups in the neck position (namely the Jazz and the '59)to being closer to match my favorite bridge p'up, the Custom 5, output-wise.
Lately, as a "collateral damage" of swapping magnets in several p'ups, I've learned to appreciate the tone produced by the lowest winds like the Gibson '57 Classic Plus, the SD '59 and Jazz, all with A8 magnets in them.
Also I've learned that Seymour REALLY had a reason to make those neck position p'ups... I'm LOVING this '90 '59N (wound by Maricela Juarez, aka The Mojo Queen) in the neck position, someting I've never been able to appreciate in the past... and both the A4 JazzN and the A4 Gibson '57 Classic, all neck position p'ups.
HTH,

I notice a lot of 7 string players who have gotten fed up with actives and passive pickups from Duncan and Dimarzio have been turning to BKP for their pickups and haven't looked back.
As good as Duncan's products are, admittedly the reason why I rock a Blackouts set in my 7 string is frankly none of their passive stuff really cuts the mustard for extreme metal styles without compromising on the clean tone.
With the passives, it was always a great lead tone (JB-7) but then muddy low end and crap clean tone.
Or SH-6 7 string, great rhythm tone, but even worse clean tone, and a lead tone I can't jive with.
So I got Blackouts, and got the lot in one package.
Pretty much everyone that has gotten BKP for their 7 strings have commented on how it sounds more articulate, no muddy low end and just better overall.
