Polymath

[yellow eyez]

Man, I thought this place might have some info or feedback but it’s deader than a doornail

I guess Polymaths it is since I won’t be getting a reply

Yeah…it has been quiet.  Which is unfortunate, as folks here have good info.

I haven’t used the Polymath, so here’s a bump.

Thanks

Basically I was looking for
- BKP
- something unique and different than my usual
- ability for parallel and split coil

Ceramic, scooped, compressed, hi output was my usual bridge sound. I use EMG 81/85 set,Fishman Fluence Carpenter set, and I used to use a Lundgren M7.

For my bridge I wanted a totally different sound, something totally capable of brutal metal but also capable of the sweetest cleans when coil split or parallel split …

and I also wanted to finally buy bare knuckle pickups

….

Knowing all of this, hearing my song and sound, knowing I play mostly Mesa rectifiers and oranges half stacks through a fractal axe Fx iii and atomic clr Neo wedge my luthier advised me to get the polymath set

I never used alnico in the bridge and I only thought alnico 8 would be scooped or hot enough for my desired taste but I was assured the UOA5 in the polymaths are not only capable of djent and amazing dynamics but they have perhaps the best cleans you can find for a pickup capable of such hi gain tones

I wanted BKP, I wanted a unique set within the lineup, and one that could do metal but much more , and the polymaths sound like the most versatile BKP set

These being the ONLY UOA5 bridge I’ve ever seen (besides Polypaf but those are not for metal)

So I hope they turn out to be exactly what I was looking for.

My polymaths were shipped and should be installed soon

Can’t wait to try these out as they are “custom Polymaths” wired specifically for a specific, special, singular luthier in USA

This is going to be epic
