Bare Knuckle POLYMATH vs NAILBOMB Demo & Comparison w/ Solar Guitar | Bridge Pickup Shootout

Bare Knuckle Pickups Comparison Polymath vs Nailbomb - Alnico Bridge Pickup Shootout & Test In a Mix & Isolated

Video comparing 2 high gain bridge pickups by Bare Knuckle Pickups, the Polymath (Alnico V) vs Bare Knuckle Pickups Nailbomb (Alnico V) on my Solar Guitars S1.6PB equipped with an Evertune bridge.

They're both great and versatile but I'd say the Polymath can do pretty much any genre, it has some excellent split coil sounds and it's great for cleans and edge of breakup.

If you're in the market for a Metal Bridge Humbucker that can also cover the sounds a more traditionally voiced pickup would, these are 2 great choices. As such, besides Metal I tried playing some Rock, hard rock, clean & Solo/Lead stuff.

… making this video made me want to try their other pickups even more, I already own the Bare Knuckle Aftermath (which I love), so maybe the Bare Knuckle Painkiller, Bare Knuckle Unity, Bare Knuckle Peacemaker or Bare Knuckle Triptych Rabea Massaad next?

Hope you enjoy!
