What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Aftermath
“The 'pig is an incredibly compressed, full, aggressive pickup with loads of low end.”
“Another hot wind, the Painkiller comes a little later, with tighter lows and more upper mids.”
On the DiMarzio Evo 2
“The Evo 2 is a bit more mid-rangy and the PAF Pro (on the neck) cleans up the mud a bit better.”
“The EQ is a little tighter in the lows with more overall mids, if comparing to the Evolution.”
