Prototype Bare Knuckle Pickups with Quad Rails

Check out the Gear walkthrough with Misha and Alex of Periphery, just off the LXD Tour. About 5:30 Misha shows off a new Axe from Mayones. It has BKP humbuckers with quad rail pole pieces. I DEMAND MORE INFORMATION! Nolly has to know something. Spill it!!! Looks baddass as all hell wrapped in bacon, and if it nails a djenty/djunty tone as I would expect... ok enough guessing. Somebody get some info and spoil it for us all! It's bad enough I won't be getting my orders and soon to be orders made by Bernie Rico (slant top) and Daemoness with Aftermaths until after an upcoming deployment, but now I have to miss out on new pickups? I haven't even tried Aftermaths yet. FACK! Damnit at least I have something to come home to.

Freaking renaissance brand of tone...

I saw this, but I didn't want to say anything.  8) I'm sure it's supposed to be a surprise.

I agree entirely. I wasn't even looking at Bare Knuckle single coils as I only want humcancelling but I was looking at a Bare Knuckle humbucker. I was close to ordering new pickups but any purchase I was going to make is now on hold until I find out more about this humbucker and until I find out for sure if there will be a single coil sized version or not.

I can't spill any details, but I will say I've been prototyping them for a few months, you can hear them in action on these recordings:

As you don't mention testing a single coil sized version I can only assume there are no plans to do such a pickup, which is a pity. However, the humbucker sounds great so I guess I'll need to just delay my humbucker purchase from Bare Knuckle until I can learn more about this beast. It's frustrating but I don't want to buy an existing BKP only to discover in a few months that something that is better for me has arrived. Of course, it may turn out that an existing model is best but I'm not yet sure I want to take that chance.

Slartibartfarst, first let me say I really enjoyed what you did with the coastline of Norway. Second, it won't be a few months, they won't be out until the end of this year. So says Tim via e-mail and that's ALL the info I was provided.

Those things sound huge!. I really hope there's an alnico version of this for more high output alternatives to the Warpig.

Yes, Norway was one I was particularly pleased with. It won an award you know but I like it most because I simply love doing the little crinkly bits around fjords  :D

Tim isn't giving much away on this thing and I'll grant you, the end of the year seems a long way away. If I contacted Tim I don't see him saying 'Wait until the end of the year to get the Blackhawk' so it boils down to how patient I can be. I'd also like to see an alnico version with a more balanced EQ than the Warpig. I doubt I'd bother waiting for it if I knew it was only going to be available as ceramic.

tim has said in the past he thinks blades only work well with ceramic magnets. i don't know if this extends to a super-quad blade though.
