I’ve not tried it. I should. I’ve started to get one a few times, but the lower output than the Evo always makes me stop just shirt. You like?

Wow, lots of Bare Knuckle love. I tried 4 of their pickups and hated them all.

Just curious... which ones did you try?

Rebel Yell, Painkiller, Nail Bomb, Juggernaut, Holy Diver and Mircle Man. No joke, I hate them all. I ordered the Nail Bomb with a ceramic magnet so I could change it out to an alnico 5 if I didn’t like it...welp, BK wires the pickup differently for ceramic magnets with no mentioned on their website. I explained to them that I’m handy and can work on electronics and wanted them to explain how to wire it up for alnico. They refused and wanted me to send it back for them to rewire for alnico. It would have cost me another $65 with shipping. I ended up selling it for a 50% loss...since nobody wanted it. Seriously, I don’t get the love for them. :lol: :LOL:

I’ve tried the nailbomb 3 times and couldn’t bond with it. I’ve tried a Holydiver set twice and it always sounded weak and thin to me compared to what I’m used to. I’ve had an Aftermath twice and it was about the same as the holydiver to me, weak sounding. Doesn’t mean these are bad pickups by any means, but I love high output, in your face aggression and these didn’t do that for me.

But a Painkiller in mahogany or a Warpig in a brighter sounding guitar, love em, absolutely killer. Others I’ve tried are Miracle Man and VHII, they were good, but didn’t blow me away.

Have not tried it. Was going to, but needed a new humbucker for a Strat bridge, so decided to try an Air Zone instead since I was replacing a hot ceramic already and wanted alnico v and less output this time around. Waiting for delivery...
 
Order a WCR Iron Man and don't look back. High output but somehow still retains clarity and has a very organic tone.
 
Motor City Afwayu. Organic, great harmonics, plenty of gain with a chunky thump and an A5 magnet.
