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 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.”
