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.”
Comparing with Bare Knuckle Nailbomb Ceramic
“I absolutely love the nailbomb in my jackson RR1T, though the particular beast is very dark and midrange heavy as far as sound goes.”
On the Seymour Duncan 59 Model (SH-1)
“The 490r/490t set is closest to the A2P.”
Comparing with Gibson 490R "Modern Classic", Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro (APH-1), Gibson 490T "Modern Classic", Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro (APH-1)
“I'm really sold on the SD 59 OR lil' 59. As said above, they just have great clarity and definition.”
