What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Nailbomb Ceramic
“A little off topic but as a polar opposite comparison In a Thick/ Dark sounding guitar I love the Ceramic Nailbomb , that pickup also kicks ass.”
“Nailbomb Bridge: Powered by an Alnico V magnet (or Ceramic, specify if applicable), the bridge pickup delivers a fat, punchy low-end, rich middle ground, and a controlled high-end response.”
Comparing with Bare Knuckle Nailbomb
On the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Slug
“I liked it with the vari-air thing Falbo came up with, mag touching the slug coil on the bass side, mag touching the screw coil on the treble side, kinda crooked in there.”
“I don't think it's a tight, percussive, metal beast like the Titans or the SLUG, but it's a great pickup.”
