BKP Black Hawk test (Lepou Legion)

My buddy Adrian Barnes came to visit from Canada, so we wrote a little ditty (essentially an excuse to get a bit proggy with some rock riffs). The mix is pretty basic, thrown together quickly but I don't want to change anything in case it all comes crumbling down..

Spectres - The Thing

Here's a short clip of my live rig set up, using two Zilla 2x12 cabinets - one Fatboy and one Super Fatboy. Both are loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s, in this clip you are hearing completely raw tracks from the two cabs, set at equal volume for an exact 50/50 blend. The Super Fatboy is mic'd with an SM57, and the Fatboy is mic'd with an SM57 Beta.
Driving the cabs is my Axe-FX Ultra running through a VHT 2/50/2 power amp. The guitar is my Dæmoness Cimmerian 6-string, with a Bare Knuckle Blackhawk prototype bridge pickup.
The riff is from Steel Panther's "Eatin' Ain't Cheatin'".

Short clip featuring the new Bare Knuckle Black Hawk in a fusion-y vein. Guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Custom. This will be one of the clips featured on the Black Hawk's product page on the BKP website.

Nolly - Bareknuckle Black Hawk(Alnico) pickups test (Reamped)

I took Nolly's DI's from his tone test and tried them with my tone on Pod Farm. Bareknuckle BlackHawk Pickups are pretty sick!

Nolly Blackhawk BKP Re-amp Test (Revalver)

I'm making an on going comparison between as many pickups that I can get my hands on :)
All setting will remain the same to make tonal comparisons between the pickups easier.

The guitar is:
Ibanez RGR 465m (in drop B tuning)
Basswood body
Maple neck & fretboard
Ibanez lo-pro edge tremolo
CTS 500k pots

These comparisons are only going to show the differences in the pickups being run through MY RIG.
The basswood body in my guitar sounds quite dull so certain pickups will inevitably sound worse than others. This may not be the case with your guitar.

Bare Knuckle Blackhawk AlnicoV (neck in bridge)

Bare Knuckle are a British company that produce replacement guitar pick-ups for 6, 7 and 8 string electric guitars. Despite the fact that they were formed only a few short years ago Bare Knuckle have rapidly gained a reputable and credible reputation and are now attracting an increasingly high number of "named" guitar endorsees who are using the Bare Knuckle brand of replacement guitar pick-ups. Bare Knuckle have an extensive range of pick-ups to choose from, and their inventory includes both humbucking and single coil pick-up models that can be purchased individually or as a replacement set which in some cases have been calibrated and optimised to be used together ...

One of the most popular models within the Bare Knuckles "Contemporary" series of replacement guitar Pick-Ups is the Black Hawk Humbucker model shown here in a calibrated set and devoid of pick-up covers so that the Black open coils of the pick-up are clearly visible. Some guitar players percieve that removing the pick-up covers provides enhanced tone and output volume whilst others prefer to keep the covers in place to provide better cosmetic effect. The Black Hawk model provides the ideal blend of the enhanced, hotter output that is indicative of an active humbucker along with the pure tone of a passive humbucker but without the hassle of a battery to power the electronics ...

Bare Knuckle Black Hawk humbuckers were designed in response to players' demands for a pickup that embodied the transparency and output of an active, with the character and wide dynamic control of a passive, all without the hassle of batteries. Each coil has a pair of specially annealed nickel plated steel blades which transfer the magnetism to the strings evenly across the width of the coil for perfect string to string balance. These coils are scatter-wound by hand with 42AWG Heavy Formvar wire and then powered by a trio of ceramic magnets for the bridge humbucker (or optional trio of Alnico V magnets) and Alnico Vmagnet for the neck humbucker. 

Although on paper the DC resistance is moderate, the specially designed coils and blades, along with the custom calibrated magnets, are capable of huge amounts of power but never at the expense of dynamics. The combination of coil size and winding technique ensure the Black Hawk humbuckers remain extremely reactive to pick attack and changes to the volume pot. Low notes have excellent depth and track extremely quickly. High notes remain strong and full no matter how high on the neck with broad mids and solid highs. Clarity throughout all frequencies is exceptional without ever sounding harsh or clinical. The combination of ceramic (or Alnico V) powered bridge and Alnico V powered neck creates a vast palette of contemporary tones suitable for playing styles as varied as fusion to extreme metal.

Just installed a Bare Knuckle Black Alnico bridge pickup in my Parker P42. And it sounds really nasty. Here's a clip a clip I was supposed to make for a friend. He needed something heavy moving into something soft.

Just got a POD HD500. Did a quick riff and mix. There is absolutely no post EQ on the guitars. Not even high pass or low pass. Love this unit!
