Blackhawks????

[Philly Q]

If this ash guitar is sounding a bit bright - maybe I should try it through a Dual rectifier type sound.

So I made a video whilst trying it out : http://youtu.be/uzLjU-g5h9U

Yes, I'm definitely liking the bridge pickup....

Ha what happened to everyone praising the neck?

I think it was only me expressing reservations about the neck pickup? 

And it might just be that particular guitar.  As Jonathan said earlier (page 9?), you never really get a proper idea of how something sounds until you try it yourself, in your own playing style (or lack thereof, in my case)

+1. It's like Fernando Torres in the wrong/right team.

Oh, I was just saying in general, how everyone was praising the neck pickup.

Pretty happy with these, being my first set of BKP's

[TheyCallMeVolume]

Cool, good to know. How are you using them?

[THW101]

Loaded into an LP custom, good upgrade and pretty much improved the area of tone I wanted. Nice balanced EQ and not overly gainy (though they are definitely powerful over standard) but they do seem to react well to height adjustment.

+1 on this. Plus the clean tone in the middle position coil split sounds about as close as you can get to a SC without actually being one. Just really modern. Really hard to coax any vintage cleans, at least in my guitar. And another thing! The CERAMIC bridge cleans coil split sound pretty good for chordy bits. Better than the neck does. (to me) If I get a chance I'll do a whole review/tone demo. But it'll be hard to get everyone out of the house to mic it up.

recieved it yesterday. it's my official 5th bkp (MM, CS, RR, RY and BB).

I was suprised that pup's serial no. was already on 600th, didn;t realised this pup was so popular!

anyways it looks awesome!

can't wait until it replaces coldsweat on my guitar.

just installed a set, review thread: https://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=28035.0

Overall extremely happy with them!

"It grinds like a death and sings like an angel."

what can i say? i just lost my words.

 just installed on mahogany guitar. All i can say is that my pup quest is over.

Best sounding bkp ever!

Each note jumps out with nice compression and definition at the same time chords sound open and clear as noob_pwb mentioned.

I might have to disagree with bkps deacription though. Blackhawk deserve better description than comparing to active pups. It truely is a master piece.

eq is pretty balanced. Low end is there without overwhelming push, mid is just about perfect. High does not pierce your face but nocely rounded yet has girth and attitude.

it might be a personal taste but they look awesome as well.

[TheyCallMeVolume]

Wow. I'm liking these more and more!

[WeAreNotGentlemen]

I doubt anyone will agree with me but i don't like the sound of hitting the low E open no palm mute. Maybe i just need to not keep my mids so high. It really is a pickup that loves complete balance in settings i find.

I think the number might have something to do with the date made,  6=June.  At least that's how they used to work
