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 Seymour Duncan Dimebucker (SH-13)
“I prefer to run an EQ in the loop to boost low end on it, so that way when you switch guitars like say to the Dimebucker your bass setting on your amp won't be too much.”
“I have one in my Soloist and its different from the Dimebucker or X2n which have the tight low end chainsaw sound, but if your lookin for palm mutes and heavy riffage, the Alt8 can do no wrong.”
