Well That's Different?
« on: May 08, 2005, 03:03:12 PM »
Hi Tim and Everybody Else,
               Quite an interesting experiment really, as you know, I have put Mules in my 70 LP Custom and am Delighted with the results. Amongst "other" Guitars that are around here I also have an RI 58 LP. The Neck Pickup has always been Beautiful, but The Bridge Unit was a Tad Brittle too my ears at anyrate? It had its Mules installed yesterday and I am bowled over!! At last it does just what I had hoped for and expected.
      However......A/B the two Mule Powered Guitars and it is very pleasing to be able to report that their individuality still remains. Obviously I would expect a Custom to sound different to a Standard, but the difference really is quite staggering...(No Pun Intended :wink: ) I am so pleased with how these two have turned out, A HUGE Thank You to Tim.
      Now......I wonder how the Double Cut LP Junior would sound with Tim's take on a 58 P90..Hmmmmmmmm....Food for thought? We wont even mention the 64 Firebird 111 :oops:

I know that every guitar I buy will be retrofitted with Bare Knuckles...

Everyone who played through these pickups on the Saturday sounded so good, I am really impressed with the power of their single coils.

The only improvment I think the company can make is that all the pickups need the BKP logo on in some form, even if it rips of EMG's logo.

Tim makes the best sounding P-90's I ever heard.  One of the guitars at the show was a PRS fitted with a Crawler in the bridge and 2 P-90's, in an HSS set.  Everyone who tried it liked the sound of the P-90's.  These were underwound for the middle and neck position, but got a great sound.  

I am getting a set for my 1960 double cutaway.  Tim makes a calibrated set that I am getting, this has  a little hotter bridge pickup.

Think of the difference in the humbuckers and then you will know the difference in the P-90's too!

Point Taken :D
And to think that this all started with a Set of Irish Tours for a "Rory" Replica! 8)

Trouble is..........I do have quite a few Guitars! BUT....I could certainly see them all becoming Bare Knuckle Powered eventually :wink:

Hope that BK had a Great Show, look forward to hearing all about it before long.

Cheer's All

Hi Rob,
I have the same problem.  I currently have 7 guitars with BK pickups and I have a set of Miracle Man's (Men?) to fit to a PRS clone, and Tim is working on 2 new sets for me!  All this would be great if I didn't have at least 5 more guitars that I want to fit pickups on :)
Cheers
Phil

:D Tell You What though Phil?
I'm damn glad that my Gibson Twin Neck and I have finally parted company!! :shock:

      So..........am I to be one of the first to start thinking about a Heart Transplant for a Firebird, or has this been covered elsewhere? I do seem to remember Tim mentioning Firebirds somewhere, but can't recall quite where! Must be an "Age" Issue.......Yeah and I got that one in before You did Ron :wink:

Cheer's Guys

I like my Firebird just the way it is... 100% stock.... 100% Johnny Winter...

(but I am open to persuasion?) :D


God help me if I have to fit BK's to this lot...... I'll be in the bloody poor-house...... :lol:
