What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Cold Sweat
“So I popped in a Cold Sweat bridge and presto Excellent clarity and my high end articulation is back.”
“I tried the Cold Sweat bridge and found it scooped with shrill high end and a thumpy low end.”
On the Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker (SH-18)
“Tried a Whole Lotta Humbucker and that went too far the other way as I suppose I like hotter than vintage and it was too harsh in the midrange, too spiky.”
“I have my Whole Lotta Neck set fairly close to the strings (2/32 ths for both the treble and bass side) I have not adjusted the polepieces.”
