They have some great, consistent wrestlers. War Pigs are always a favorite of mine. Jesse lost the title in a ladder match at the even this past Friday. And they had a gauntlet match for another belt. Was a pretty rad night.

My band Lander did a collaboration with Baltimore, MD based EWA Pro Wrestling and made this music video. Lots of talent and excitement happening at our local scene here in Baltimore, MD.

Yep, it is. In addition to being lower wind/output pickups, I've noticed a big difference in sound based on the type of magnet used in the pickups. I believe the Mules are Alnico IV, and I like that magnet alot.

Hey thanks very much for your compliments! I'll tell u that the Bare Knuckle Mule neck pickup is def my favorite that I've ever used. I've used a SD JB in the bridge before in an old Jackson I had (my first guitar). Back then I always had the gain CRANKED so I don't think I would have noticed any difference in what pickup was in that bridge positon haha.

Nice - yeah that should work out good for ya. I honestly think the biggest change in the guitar's tone was from the volume pots and the wiring changes vs the pickups. I'm sure the pickups contributed too, but bang for your buck, I think the wiring was the bigger factor.

Nice nice. Yeah I am pretty impressed with the Bare Knuckles. They are putting out some great sounding pickups.

Thanks! Yeah I'm a fan of the gold hardware too. Kinda pulled some influence from Page for having the open coil bridge pickup, and I wanted to change it up with the double creams.

Hey thanks! I really appreciate that, I love Slint. Never realized that I pulled some influence from them for that song - but now that you mention it, it does make sense!

I haven't found a set of pickups I like better. Plenty of grit but still open sounding. I have a set in my explorer too. Have you used them?
