Gibson ES-335 with Bare Knuckle Stormy Monday (AIV) pickups

[VanDiekum]

ah i didnt knew u cud choose between type's of magnets i bought them second hand tough ... for how much did u bought the alnico 4?

I think i might go for the PG Blues but i havent heard any youtube reviews about them yet ;)

[elavd]

@VanDiekum I don't remember how much I paid for them, but I think that the cost of this set was the same as the A2 set ;)

[VanDiekum]

The Bare Knuckle Stormy Monday are Alnico 2 magnets i have a set of Tonerider AC-2 also Alnico 2 magnets i barely hear any difference between Tonerider and Bare Knuckle i had them both in a ES335 custom made no brand but same quality as ur Gibson but u make any pickup sound good with ur playing style ;)

[elavd]

@VanDiekum My BK set has Alnico 4 Magnets. I ordered them that way because (according to Tim - the man behinf BK) Gibson used AIV magnets in the 50s ES335 guitars ;)

Thank you for your compliment!

@Messmertee ;)

[Messmertee]

hi man, great playing! Where did you get the backing melody from, could you please tell me the name of this mp3?

Thank you very much.

[elavd]

@Messmertee Thank you my friend.

This is the backing track of ZZ TOP's song "Blue Jeans Blues".

You can easily find it for free in backing tracks sites ;)

I thought it was Alnico II...What is the sound difference ?....gaëtan

[elavd]

@BELOROYAN I have started a thread on the Bare Knuckle Pickups forum with the name "335 pickups. OK, now I am confused..."

Sorry, but I can't post links here...

[elavd]

Maybe the Mules...

[luvanariff]

hey mate , the pickups is alnico 4, but is 2 or 4 conductors wire ? i wanna change the pickups to my hagstrom viking ! so, good sound , good feeling you sound very good , best regards !!

[elavd]

Thanks for your comment!

The pickups have 2 wires, so they don't split.

[jp6l6]

However, these pickups are available featuring 4 wire. Tim Mills from BK confirmed this to me.

[luvanariff]

@jp6l6 thanks mate , I know that , i need the 2 conductors for my Viking , because I dont want to change the switch configuration , thanks a lot for you comment , best regards

Great playing and a beautiful tone....bare knuckles are totally superb arent they : ) got a set of nickel covered mules in a gibson 67 reissue v and my oh my they destroy me!!!!

[elavd]

Thank you!!! They are great pickups indeed!

[johnjosephgreenwood]

Fantastic playing mate. I've been playing for 42yrs so I know it when I witness it.

[elavd]

Thank you very much for your compliment! :)

[elavd]

Thank you man! ;)

[elephantcup]

Nice clip, nice playing, nice tone. I take it that you listen to a lot of Pink Floyd... ;-)

Just wondering, what didn't you like about the stock PAFs that came in it? Why'd you change the pickups?

I've demoed a few at local stores, I'm struck at how weak the bridge pickup is compared to the neck P/U. You'd think that the custom shop would sell the guitar with a balanced set of pups in it.

[elavd]

Thanks for your compliments ;)

I am indeed a David Gilmour fan :)

I didn't like the stock pickups because they weren't well balanced. The bridge was too bright while the neck was too "muddy".

This set is very balanced. Check my other video too. This one doesn't have good sound...

[chromezeppelin]

your tone makes me cream myself

[elavd]

:) :) :)

[rickso12]

so many clips with heavy distortion out there,

they should listen to your great sound and lines

I may get a lot of bad feedback-

but I think some use heavy distortion to cover poor playing--(just some)

[elavd]

Thank you for your flattering comments...:)

[mhskeide]

I disagree in your last point. Far too many use heavy dist. to cover up their tracks instead of more practise. The tone in this video is so pure and sweet. Combined with elavd`s phrasing and lines....it`s just dreamy:)

[rickso12]

loved it, where do you get the backround tracks?

[elavd]

If you write "backing tracks" on Google you'll find many sites with free backing tracks.

I don't remember exactly where I found this one...

[dsratliff79]

thats a beutiful guitar bro. sounds extra nice

5 stars for that

[LaiYouttitham]

That was so smooth man.

5*****

[Algonquin]

Sounds great Elavd!  I hope you're happy with your new pickups... they sound Awesome.

Cheers,

David
