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 Distortion Parallel Axis (PATB-2)
“I'd go with a PATB-2 Parallel Axis Distortion, they're designed to beef up a thin floyded superstrat to more closely resemble a fat Les Paul.”
“Tight, bright, punchy, with great harmonics, but very different from other Parallel Axis pickups or the Distortion..”
