Help Finding a Pickup
« on: June 09, 2007, 01:45:21 AM »
Hey guys, I'm new, but I kind of wanted to ask a general question on pickups.

I love the Warpigs heavy bass, especially the midrange, but what I am looking for is a pickup in some ways an inverted Warpig.

I wanted to know what pickup would be one where it has trememdous highs, nasty midrange, and a substantial bass.

Would this be Some Cold Sweats, Holydiver? Or sadly something not at Bare Knuckle(an obvious drop in quality).

I'm into Progressive Rock and Metal, and more towards the Noise rock and Noise pop side, if that makes any sense.

Edit: I also wanted to thank anyone in advance, I enjoy finding new sounds and I really want to find a Bare knuckle Pickup that I will like. :)

To add, what I would be interested in would be something in the realm of early JAMC, like

I know most of that is feedback, and the shin-ei companion pedal, but that level of ripping highs. Painfull.

What sort of guitar is it going into and what sort of wood is it made from? That information will help to determine the correct pup choice.

Thats the model of my guitar, its a Tenesee Rose, but I have classic filtertrons in it. I love my Neck pickup, so this one would be a bridge, and its all maple, neck and body. I hope that helps.

This is tricky!

I'm not really up to speed with your guitar so my best suggestion would be to e-mail Tim at Bare Knuckle, tell him what you're after and buy whatever he suggests. You seem to be looking at some hot pups so if that's your thing I'd suggest trying a Holy Diver, though in that guitar I'd be tempted to back off the power a bit myself. The Abraxas might be nice and still have plenty of punch or even the Mule should be plenty hot enough and I've heard some really nice clips of that. Definately ask Tim though, whatever he says WILL be right.

Thanks for the help!

I'll definetely have to ask Tim, and I realize my musical choices are a bit out there :D

I'll have to ask him if its even worth it in my guitar, as I have seen few modifications on them, so in fact it may not be very easy to change pickups on it :(

But I'm still gonna save up for a new pickup, and mabe put it in my backup/experiment guitar :)
