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

This is me, playing my Gibson ES-335 with my new Bare Knuckle Stormy Monday (Alnico 4) pickups.

Excuse me for the very poor audio quality...I was just noodling infront of my new webcam...

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 ;)

@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 ;)

@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!

@elavd thank you very much for answering me- i found it easily, practised a lot with it. Best regards from germany

@Messmertee ;)

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)

Gorgeous jazzy tone. Bare Knuckle pups slay everything else.

@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 ;)

[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.

@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...
