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 Evolution
“On the other hand the Evolution is brighter and extremely tight.”
“The evolution is definitely one tight pickup, which has a strange reputation on here for being bright from people who have never actually used it.”
