There's a new gear rundown for Steve Vai. He's been using the EVO 2 (DP215) since the Beat tour. I love that pickup. You can do anything with it.
Go to the 2:50 mark for pickup discussion.
 
The Juggernaut is my least favorite Bare Knuckle. I would recommend the Ceramic Nailbomb or Blackhawk.
 
I tried a bunch of BKP stuff when they first got popular. Didn’t like anything they made. Lost about 50% on resale.

That said, I love the Suhr Aldrich and SSH+. 😁
 
I just received my Black Winter bridge today and installed it. Very happy with it. It does have a little more gain than my previous Pegasus. It's super tight, which I love and has great sustain. It's definitely a hard rock / metal pickup by nature, but that's exactly what I wanted. Not sure if I will sell the Pegasus. It's not a bad sound, but definitely more rock-aimed.

I think the SSH+ is the best pickup I’ve ever tried
 
I want to hear it through the super trem and greenbacks.
 
I recently replaced the Nazgul in one of my Duvells with a Black Heaven. Didn't like it that much. A little too dark and loose. It was still clear, in that it had nice string separation, but it didn't have enough grind/snarl or aggressiveness for my tastes. I replaced it with an M6 and I like that much more. Tighter, more aggressive.

My other Duvell has a Mayones-specific, BKP TKO. And I actually really like it.

I have a Juggernaut set and a ceramic Nailbomb set waiting to try as well. But will be a while.
