LesPaul artisan + Bareknuckle Stormy Monday

[malthus101]

I have a Gibson LP Faded from 2007 - it comes with zebra-style Gibson Burstbucker Pro with Alnico V magnets - I want to recreate that Slash sound from Appetite! He used Seymour Duncan APH-1s which have Alnico II magnets. I suppose I could put these in but I am very interested in Bare Knuckle Pickups - which would anyone suggest to get the sound I'm after? Maybe the Stormy Mondays? The VHIIs? Thanks!

[ColinPRS]

Sounds superb.

[FTF96]

Bit of a gain/output drop on the neck pickup there?

[einaroneeye]

Nice, you've got some killer tones coming out of that set up. Very cool.

[EpiphoneGear]

Gezz, were are all you great blues players comming from! Awesome stuff

[TeleCustom72]

These sound great - I never hear people playing BKP Stormy Mondays with more of a rock feel, but this shows they can do it. I'm currently playing an Abraxas set with the magnets changed to A2.

[nibz9]

great playing!!! what song is that in the beginning?

[MrTeook]

which BK pick up would you suggest for fairly heavy distortion but playing in styles such as radiohead, bloc party etc. or if not BK then which pick ups would be good? im putting them into a fender tele. thanks x

[PrsFenderJackson1980]

@MrTeook Nailbomb would be my suggestion. Or Mix Vh-II(bridge) and Stormy Monday(Neck). But thats only my opinion.

[k00lguy202]

what kind of stoptail is that?

[LPFan3118]

Great job!

That LesPaul looks and sounds awesome!

[bettset]

i think your sound is great. i have a few artisans. kept them original. i wish gibson had never discontinued those artisan humbuckers. the 77-78 models i think are the best versions. very distinct tone with a fender style amp. real fat sounding thru an old peavey deuce with jbl's. do some more vids with the artisan--they used good wood from gibson.

[proxy69]

I have VH1 in the bridge and middle and I am not impressed at all

[proxy69]

I have a guitar with 3 humbuckers.Let me know how did you configure them together?All bareknuckles?

[sushizecat]

there are all stormy monday humbucker. It's very good. But you can try to put a Mule or a VHII for the bridge and you will have a good guitar too.

[mitscan]

Wicked. More over the top than I normally dig, but really great tone, and incredible playing. Excellent stuff.

[skydog46]

Very nice...I'd like to hear them through a Black Face Fender to get more of an idea what is the pickups and what is the amp....you know? Thanks tho!!

[ashleytubb13]

sounds fat as hell dude really huge great playin btw

much love

[gjosed]

beautiful guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Danthehorse]

are they better than Gibsons own burstbuckers?

[sushizecat]

Sorry but I never use burstbuckers !

[Cl0udyDayz]

@sushizecat are these pickups versatile? can they have a nice warm solo tone? and how does it deal with distortion? Please respond! Thanks lots!

[sushizecat]

@Cl0udyDayz Very versatile ! from clean to overdrive (clean jazz to led zep). Great crunch and lead. But not really good for Metal...

[ThieleM]

Yes,  in every way.

[christrealized]

@Danthehorse Gibson pickups don't hold a candle to Bare Knuckle pickups. Seriously.. BK make the best pickups in the world.. I am sound engineer and have tested several hundred of the best pickups in the world & in my honest opinion BKs are indeed the best.. the second best I have tried are the Tom Holmes pickups.

Great demo!

[MrGuitarandvocals]

@christrealized

You sir are correct!

[binsou]

Que penser des classic 57???

Ca peut concurrencer du Bare Knuckle??

Parce que le prix m'arrange ;o)

[sushizecat]

Je pense que tu ferais mieux de prendre les seymour duncan SH1 (59) au lieu des classic 57 gibson ! Ils sont à mon goût plus fins et précis. Sinon, les bk sont chers mais on ne regrette pas son achat.

[binsou]

Je t'avais déjà posé la question sur les BK(mule/RiffRaff). J'ai fait des achats depuis et donc, sachant que ca n'est pas prioritaire pour l'instant j'essaye de voir les autres alternatives.

Je vais voir les prix des SH1 et chercher des demo sur youtube.

merci ;o)

[sushizecat]

De rien !

Tiens-moi au courant !

[fatbloke2]

Really nice tone and playing - are you using alnico II or IV magnets?

[sushizecat]

They are alnico II pickups !

[bloodySunday77]

Niiiiiice! It seems that any Bare Knuckle vintage style pickup will excel at all medium output needs, no matter if it's a Mule, a Stormy Monday or whatever...

[schenker69]

Beatiful tone and playing

[Tim99GT]

Oooh so smooth and meaty. Meat and potatos baby. Very nice.

[rdmcmill]

DAMN what a meaty sound. I like!
