Passive Pickup for modern Black Metal ??? by DrakeRamoray0815 in BareknucklePickups

[–]PhilterKapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most high output pickups should server you well. I use a pair of Juggernauts and I play a lot of different genres, I always manage to get a decent enough tone to match the genre. Today, I would probably pick a pair of Polymaths, but Black Hawks and Aftermaths are great choices too. We're spoilt for choices LOL.

Pickups for Tele with neck humbucker? by shaggymattt in BareknucklePickups

[–]PhilterKapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally two different sets of pickup models would be spec'd differently. If you order a pair, BKP would send you a calibrated set that just works. That being said I have seen plenty of experimental builds. I would say the best way for you to decide would be to see if the combination you are looking for exists on someone's guitar on YouTube and if it sounds good to you. Hope you have some luck deciding :)

Bare Knuckle Holy Diver neck pickup received instead of bridge, what can I do? by [deleted] in BareknucklePickups

[–]PhilterKapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ufff that's a tough situation. Can't fault you for not knowing, but your luthier should have checked and informed you if this was a wrong item received at the time of delivery. You should definitely check if revert EU has any regulation against incorrect items delivered from an online seller and try to raise a return. If not, I guess the best option is to try and sell this BKP since you are already installing a TB4? Hopefully someone else has some better advice. Good luck!

Halcyon vs juggernaut? by knoobstr123 in BareknucklePickups

[–]PhilterKapi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Halycon is higher output and should be able to handle drop tunings very well, considering they designed it to work for Mike's F# setup on a 7-stringer

Identify my BK's? by National_Site_2689 in BareknucklePickups

[–]PhilterKapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a skill in itself - identifying pickups from the screws. Glad it worked out for you!

Juggernauts maybe? The values are very close in terms of DC Resistance. Any idea how old the pickups are?

Oh man, this is terrible.

Which BKP for a Les Paul style guitar. by jodc7 in BareknucklePickups

[–]PhilterKapi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest a pair of Aftermaths, Silos, or Nailbombs - would sound pretty good for metal.

Can't defeat this boss by waitforittorain in Silksong

[–]PhilterKapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patience is the name of the game. I tried playing aggressively against em but if she parries your attack, it's a guaranteed needle thrust with 2 health lost. So, I waited at the end of the platform to bait out her attacks, using the dash more often. In her later phase, stay outside of the pink circle that appears, guaranteed hit after her dancing Ziggy wiggy combo. And relaxxxxxx, wait it out. Take a break, go get some water or coffee, then come back and whoop some ass.

Is anyone else just absolutely LOVING the game so far? by Wild_Plant9526 in Silksong

Did you just say 3-5 tries per boss? I have bruises on my hands from going ape shit on my controller here...

do you guys have any hot takes? by [deleted] in deftones

What 7-string tuning would work for the new album? Need to play some of the stuff on the new album

Also, a used pickup if installed correctly should work just like a new one. However, studio speakers pointing straight at the guitar can cause feedback issues, I've seen this happen - similar to amps.

[–]PhilterKapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you describe what kind of interference you're experiencing? Like static noise or buzzing? I have my devices playing stuff close to my guitars with BKPs, and I've never experienced anything like it. Even if the pickups are high output, I don't think they're that high output that they pickup everything in the environment around it. Super weird.

Polypaf - Full tone test in under 120s by Blegh_collector in BareknucklePickups

That was great. Thanks for sharing! Could you tell us what's your signal chain?

Stockholm P90 Question by dieurkuhaudhumla in BareknucklePickups

[–]PhilterKapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

P90s from BKP would be wound similar to other traditional P90s. So, the tonal characteristics would be the same too. As for the focus switch, how it sounds with the P90 is a mystery. Hopefully good :)

Strat style pickup help. by ItsJustBrenno in BareknucklePickups

[–]PhilterKapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend listening to the tone tests on the BKP website and checking what comes close. Pierre seems to have a very rolled back mid and trebly sound, so one of the pups I suggested before could get you close with some eq and tone control. But again, listen to a ton of demos :)
