What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell
“It’s dynamic response at stage volume with the ability to go from glassy clean to full saturation without collapsing into mush.”
“Where a lot of pickups in this range get compressed and narrow, this one stays open and articulate.”
On the Gibson 498T "Hot Alnico"
“498t- brighter more chimey, decent with gain, a bit thin.”
“I had the 498T in a LP custom and it was about as fat as you could get. Great string to string clarity.”
