Hey have you tried the painkiller by bkp? Because I have been really looking at BKP pickups for my Schecter but cant decide between Nailbombs or Painkillers or get both but where to put each one if i get both lol any advice you have would be great! Btw if it helps I play 80's - current metal mostly!
sounds like bareknuckle pickups can do anything. i've watched about 10 videos and that's all i need to see. cold sweats will be going into my mayones regius 8.
hey dude, i have a bogner ubershall hi gain amp. if i get the nailbomb alnico , would that be a good combo for doom/thrash & melodic hard rock?? i think it would prob fuckin shred!
This video made me go out and buy a set of Nailbombs for '79 ML. OMFG. They sound so fucking sweet through a high gain Marshall. EMGs'a re now dead for me :)
I keep coming back to this video, great sound and amazing playing. Really sweet shredding without unnecessary flash. One thing annoying me though: I was dead set on getting BKP Holy Divers and then I see you rocking a Nailbomb! Still happy with it?
Interesting choice. I wouldn't have expected someone who plays the genres you do to go for a Nailbomb since it's such high output.
I'm in the market for some nice handwound pickups, been looking at a few companies and I play similar styles as you. What made you go with the Nailbomb? As of now I've pretty much limited my selections to Hot PAF types, but maybe you have some insight I hadn't considered.
One of the best at home guitar videos on YouTube. How could anybody who plays guitar dislike this. Get real. That was just fun to watch and sounded great. You give the rest of us(home players) hope. Thanks for this video.
One of the best videos I'd ever seen on Youtube. Not only made me seriously consider BKP's, but thoroughly enjoyed your playing from beginning to end. Especially your atomically accurate timing and vibrato. Awesome stuff dude. Will look out for more of your vids.
@nadibs They are very versatile :) So it would work anyway. If not, take the classic JB/59 Seymour duncan set :D It would work also... From blues to metal :P
Gotta say dude, No matter how many times i watch this video i am always blown away! Absolutely amazing dude! Beautiful sounding Guitar and Mega playing! keep it up man!
damn, I came here expecting a boring review type video and instead witnessed an incredible 4 minute solo. love the camera angle, how did you get it on there?
LOVE you're playing...Sound is awesome too, but I have a feeling you could make a 2X4 with rubber bands for strings sound good. Really enjoyed you're plaing!!!
You're an incredible player, Sam. What I find truly refreshing about it, is the fact that I don't hear a single sweep arpeggio in your playing. Instead, you choose to stick mainly to a very fluid legato style and using mainly half to whole step bends with the occasional pinch harmonic. The tones you pull out of that Les Paul are more of what I'd expect to hear from a Fender or Charvel. Bare Knuckles should be paying you a nice little endorsement check for this video, for I think I will buy 'em.
@WarmothGuitarist Sweeps are on their way out IMO. They're cool and all but I think that alternate picking is going to be the next big thing (hopefully)
after watching this again, i have to ask do you hve any influence from Mcready from pearl jam. It just resembles somethin he'd play. Either way i'm envious at how well you can tear it up bro
to the guy who has trouble with string breakage, it is worth checking out your bridge saddles and making sure they are smooth and there are no burred bits that would cut your strings
It appears that these pickups have alot of versatility, but how would they sound in my LP Studio (all mahogany...no maple top to lighten it up) and with my gear? There needs to be an easier way to find out. LOL -=80)
omg!!! dude your playing is incredible. so good that i forgot i that i was supposed to be listening for the tone of the pickups. seriously why aren't u famous?
Hi mate, great playing! What do you reckon to these pickups?? Do they make much diference? I have an SG standard and im looking for some new pickups to give me a bit more bite lol. Would these make pinch hamronics stand out a bit more?? Sorry for all the questions, thanks a lot
