What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Ragnarok
“The combination of a substantial low end, strong mids and controlled highs gives the pickup enough personality to remain interesting as the gain comes down.”
“The ceramic magnets, substantial output, focused low end, aggressive midrange, and controlled high end give it the characteristics needed for modern progressive metal and other demanding high-gain applications.”
