Hey guys,
Here's a thread I posted on my guitar's set-up with the photos--
http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=20130.0 (http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=20130.0)
I have a 2005 Wine Red Gibson Les Paul Studio with Nailbomb bridge and Mississippi Queen neck. I just got around to recording the audio clip. Honestly, I don't know how I can go back to other pick-ups after owning a set of these.
Guitar: Gibson Les Paul Studio
Amp: Vox AD50VT-XL
Mic: MXL 990 Condenser
I didn't use any pedals. I selected the "Modern" distortion effect with dry settings (no reverb, delay, or compression) on the Vox combo amp. For all the rhythm parts, I used the NB bridge. And for the lead parts, I used the MQ neck for all of it. I recorded all the tracks straight into Logic Express 8 through my Apogee Duet interface. I didn't use any extra compression to enhance the guitar sounds. Everything you hear on the guitar is all dry with no overdubbing. What you hear is what you get. I wanted to retain the true sound as much as I could. The Nailbomb starts the song off. I hope this helps those who are looking for a similar sound, or for those who are just curious. Let me know what you guys think.

Uploaded new audio file and deleted old one. This time with the rhythm parts panned left and lead parts panned right to give the audio space better distinction.

I come to this as a M.Q owner / fan, but not one who has 'pushed' them in that way. Great to hear them in all their sleazy, ballsy wonder ! When I see a M.Q in someone's guitar, I know we're going to have fun. Thanks for being my alter ego on that one . :)

Haha thanks, man. You're too kind :) I'm not too much of an expert on the MQ's yet, and still unsure of their sound, but I look forward to growing with them. I'm already in love with the Nailbomb in my bridge position. The NB sounds great live, and records in the studio beautifully.
