What players and reviewers say

On the Bare Knuckle Nailbomb

“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.”

“I absolutely love the nailbomb in my jackson RR1T, though the particular beast is very dark and midrange heavy as far as sound goes.”
