 :D

I'm absolutely loving this pickup its so damn good that words cant describe it.

On the tightness level it kinda puts my MM to shame.

Very balanced pickup overall.

I've been thinking about getting Miracle Man's but damn I don't want to $%&# this up. $400 is a ton a freaknig money to spend on pick-ups. Can you compare the Aftermath bridge & neck to the Miracle Man bridge & neck pick-ups???

Well the Miracle man has a much bigger & chunkier bass response the mids are a bit more relaxed but havcve the same snarl to them the highs are also a bit more pronounced on the MM

The aftermath is tighter where as the MM is hotter.

I can't really comment on the neck models as i dont have them.

What kind of stuff is it that you are wanting the pickups to do?

have you posted a pickup request thread? If so link me to it and ill go over everything in there

Thanks for the comments Jonathan.

That's what i was going for really as i had a really tough time deciding with the clips that were available and only went for it due to a very precise tonal description from MDV

Hey bro. Yeah, you actually helped me out quite a bit. You emailed me saying to go with either MM's or CS's. I'm just beating myself up over this because it's so much money, and I want the guitar to kill n00bs exactly like how I want it to. Here was the thread I posted originally:

http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=22324.msg297625#msg297625

I'm torn between MM's and A-WP's, I think. Really want that full in your face lead tone with the neck pup, and tight gunk on the bridge. I play in standard tuning.

At the end of the day, the thing that really kills me is the fact that no one is able to compare any BKP's out there to the Suhr Sldrich pups...

Yeah that sounds really good. I've been reading about them with interest, but with an underlying "not really for me". This recording really opens them out.

Nice playing too :D

i was in that exact same boat and just decided to go for it.

they're a lot more versatile than i thought they would be thats for sure.

To me they are what everyone makes out the nailbomb is (it works for many but not me) this is exactly as they describe the NB but a heck of a lot tighter.
