Thank you all so much! I’m beyond hyped on these! I never thought I’d be making a signature set of Bare Knuckles. So here they are. Some notes on the track: I wanted to make a song using really only 2 sounds. So the pickups could speak for themselves. All the guitars are made up of 2 main sounds and an additional lead tone There is a pushed clean, in the intro and backing for the solo. All The heavy guitars and hybrid picked verses are the same sound. To get the different tones I coil split the bridge pickup to get the hybrid tone. Amps were Kraken and JVM Cleans were Revv D20 Lead was D20 with Origin effects Revival Compact I’m so proud of how these sound. I wanted a pickup that can be brutal, or beautiful in the same sound. They’re way more dynamic than any bare knuckle I’ve used before. I hope they bring you much tonal joy!
Rabea Massaad Hi rabea ! thanks for this awesome set of pick ups , can’t wait to play with them... and this is a great song you made here to demonstrate the versatility ! I was wondering if I could put only the bridge pickup in your signature guitar ? Will it be compatible with the stock neck pickup ? ( especially with split position 2 and 4 ) Thanks !
Rabea has these riffs that make me wanna headbang like a madman in my office. Fortunately I work in a music store so it's not that uncommon for employees to spontaneously headbang. Sick stuff my dude, gotta save up for some!
Rabea, I don’t like progressive metal. Or overly-technical playing styles. Or over-production. I’m a doom/crust/dbeat guy. This tho? Undeniable. What you’re doing on this track and on GG2 - Respect. So beautiful and brutal; so much emotion. Such stories in those songs. Restraint. Crescendos. And your tone is somehow both clear and raw. Just awesome. You’ve made a convert : )
One of the most underrated and inspiring guitar players, riff writers and creative dudes out there! Gawd!! those riffs. Congrats on the signature pups! You deserve it
i've sat here in front of my computer for 1 hour now just listening to this on repeat, truly a masterpiece imo. You should put this up on spotify as a single
Thank you dude, really appreciate that. Yeah really happy with the mix, it’s probably the first one I’ve done that I’ve listened through and been happy with
Rabea, you are officially my favorite guitarist of all time. Ever since I started listening to heavier stuff, there's always something that's been missing. Ever since I found your music and subscribed to your TH-cam channel, you have managed to hit every note (no pun intended ;P) of what I've been looking for out of music. Every. Way. Possible. Every song is a complete banger! I hope you go down in history as one of the pioneers of prog rock and your music becomes iconic!! Rock on man!
Always been wondering why a large artist like you hadn’t had a signature set of these bad boys yet. Glad to see Bare Knuckle are finally appreciating not only your sick tones but influence as a player.
WOW!! This is the best tone I've ever heard you use. It's amazing. And that song writing, it's just on another level. Absolutely fantastic. I've been a fan of Bare Knuckle for years now. I've always praised the work they do and tried to tell everyone about them. It's so great to see you get your own signature set. You've earned it. You've earned the recognition of being a great musician as well as a great person. I'm so happy for you.
I wouldn't be surprised if Bare Knuckle gets implemented into Chapman somehow but as mid tier to high tier models kinda thing, and keep their in-house pickups on the more affordable ranges
IMO you pay a lot for specs like thick flamey tops, glowing side dots, hard case etc and stuff like that, none of which help the playability of the guitar. My Japanese Ibanez is cheaper than my Chapman and it plays much better because it is built much better. Clearly Ibanez focuses more on the playability aspect such as filing and polishing frets, making sure there aren't any sharp edges, original edge instead of 1000 series Floyd. Specs don't mean anything if the guitar doesn't play well.
Damn Bea , pure love for music is all i can say. Never stop . I am gonna go pickup Bass again after more than 10 years of absence and start living again. Thank you.
Not only do the pickups sound great but the sound you've dialed in is incredible. So many people over do it with gain and distortion but what you've done is nothing short of amazing. It goes without saying but I'll say it anyway, you are a man who knows what he's doing.
When he rips it after the solo; that emotion of knowing you just wrote some sick shit, is exactly why I play guitar. It's a fucking journey and this dude hangs with the fucking best of them. Hands down one of my favorite guitarists. Bravo, chap!
Hey man, I have been watching the vids with you from quite a while. I remember you describing your teenage with the cd-player and a skateboard and now I see THIS. Not that I wasn't expecting it, yet this video made me thinking of how much of a hard work you had to put into to get here from that skaiting teen. This is more than outstanding. The sound is perfect, so is note execution and that crazy hybrid picking calls me to revisit my picking hand techniques. I love how emotions are pouring outta yer riffs. You desereve all the good things that could happen to a musician, man. Greetings from Poland.
Dude... You're one of the greatest players and riff/song writers today, everything you put out is epic. Thank you for all the years of inspiration and congrats on your set off pickups. One of the best tones I've heard in a long time! You rule.
Riff master supreme. The Bea got me into getting rid of my biases of drop tunings and to fully explore the sonic capabilities of it. Now I love experimenting with drop tunings and open tunings and standard tunings are a thing of the past.
I felt a strong potential years ago when I listened for the first time to your tunes... You achieved an amazing musicality, Bea... You are on track for greatness... Just keep working and exploring...
Got these pickups and they’re absolutely amazing, apart from how good they sound, the way they respond to the expression of the guitar player is what stands out the most for me. :)
Bare Knuckle are the pickups of the world man! I bought a pair for an old Les Paul that was packed away for over 8 years and suddenly it is my favorite guitar (P90s). These pickups are the best in the world in my opinion. Crazy good!
Rabea really glad to see you got the bareknuckle endorement your killing the game right between the kraken and bareknuckle and chapman. I'm glad to see things going good for you. I have enjoyed your playing for some time now.
Honestly, I can't say anything about the the product. But these riffs you keep blowing out again and again (this one in particular)... Damn! So powerful! So original! RESPECT !
Bea’s tone is next level with these, and I didn’t think that was possible. Looks like I’m buying these, let’s hope they sound good in either a PRS or the bride of a Strat
I just bought Rags for both my Ibanez 7 and Chap ML-1. I'm not bummed, but now I'm gonna have to get a second job to get these. Although, I'd have an excuse to get a new guitar to put them in...
First and foremost - Congratulations, and extremely well deserved! Secondly - DEFINITELY need a tutorial video on some of the main riffs in this BANGER! Holy shiiiiiiiiit
Killer heavy tone, sledgehammer, yet gentle and kind...Awesome pick ups! I was glued to this video...you are really intense and spot on! Simply Awesome! 🐾
I just woke up,and I saw the video.... Mr. Rabea please saw your audience mercy. Thanks again for your incredible music experience. I own a pair of Aftermath. Now I know the next..
Absolutely legendary! Bea you are truly inspirational and inspiring! Please keep doing what you’re doing. Enjoy all of your content and can’t wait for these riffs. Hope to meet you one day just to shake your hand and say thanks.
Dude... I don't how long it will gonna take for this, but I'm sure you'll be remembered as one of the greats, one of the gods of guitar. You playing is incredible, your creativity is out of this world, your feeling... You're a fucking Monster, my man!
Pickups sound great. They seem to have a lot more note definition than the previous ones but still blend everything together into a coherent whole. Also, that demo song was immense.
Wow, that was intense!!! I was looking at your playing and I was in Awhhhhh all the way. You were so in it that it was awesome to watch. And the best part, you didn't have to say something. The playing was enough to tell all that there is to know about those pickups. The sad part in that story is that even with these monsters in my guitar, it will never sound as good or even as close of what you've just played in this video. Bravo pour cette superbe performance!!!
This song is super cool. Loved the production and the video as well, it's powerful and raw even if it's in a comfy home studio. Beast player and artist
Great pickups and amazing track! Would love to hear that one live on the next Toska tour in Europe as well as In the Face of the Nameless, True Grit and The Rags. Love your playing style!
Congrats on the signature pickups!! Love the clarity of these Silos Love BKP! I put them on my Telecaster. Amazing company and they help you get the tones you are after! After a few email exchanges with Tim I ended up having the Blackguard series Tele bridge pickup with a SlabBoard Strat neck pickup to put on my Telecaster!
That hybrid picking riff. Damn.
I know, right? Plus he is using that staple hammer on riff to go along. Sounds wicked sick
Agreed. Killer.
So sick. It's the greatest thing on the internet right now. Well, greatest equal with Bea's facials at 3:59
Didn't want that soul anyway. Just BRUTAL
M. Ghazali Darus I’m trying to learn it now, it’s currently destroying my brain
Rabea gets a signature pickup set
Bea: "Oh I'll just write a little demo riff"
Also Bea: *Writes a facemelter*
So true
Yeah its pure quality
I know I love his chord voicings here
Right? The gear demo tracks are some of his best! So glad he's recording them.
Thank you all so much! I’m beyond hyped on these!

Sounds great man, congrats!

Sick stuff my dude, gotta save up for some!
I work in a chemistry research lab. Same!
Dude what a lucky you are heeadbang at your office... That's Rock bro!!!!
davedaveii I think they would headbang for different reasons

Grinding Gears 3 incoming >:D
Such a mind blowing track dude!! And congrats on the pickups, they sound incredible! 🔥Really digging the mix too, insanely good!
Thank you dude, really appreciate that.
Yeah really happy with the mix, it’s probably the first one I’ve done that I’ve listened through and been happy with
Damn, now THAT is the way to introduce a new set of sig pickups!!

Well I already can't wait for Grinding Gears vol 3, if this track is gonna be on it!
Dude, that beginning of a grin right as the video faded out - my face had that grin on the entire vid. Stunning playing and sound!
This makes me want a reissue of the old ML1 BEA even more.
I wouldn't be surprised if Bare Knuckle gets implemented into Chapman somehow but as mid tier to high tier models kinda thing, and keep their in-house pickups on the more affordable ranges
@@Axel_Xirics_Music Bea answered this, it will make the guitars 200-300€ more expensive.
@@stanislavmigra And seeing as they're already way overpriced, it probably won't happen :')
@@jorah76 overpriced? are we talking same brand?

Somehow I knew he'd write a sick song for this. The hybrid picking part is unreal
King of riffs strikes again!
Hooooooooleeeeeeeeyyy shiiiiiiiiitt.
Just totally insane, my dude. The jam, the tone, the signature humbuckers. Just killing it, man!
Damn Bea , pure love for music is all i can say. Never stop . I am gonna go pickup Bass again after more than 10 years of absence and start living again. Thank you.

That's the stuff Bea - your arrangements with that tone from your awesome Silo pickups is prog at it's best beautifully powerful -
You’re a prog master, the unique style of playing makes you a guitar monster
As always, impressive playing and the sound is heavy but with clarity. ❤️
Got these pickups and they’re absolutely amazing, apart from how good they sound, the way they respond to the expression of the guitar player is what stands out the most for me. :)

Hey Rob! Just picked up a ML3 Bea and beautiful guitar. What do you think about the Chapman pickups that come with the Bea versus SILO?
Brutal and melodic, great sound 🎸
That riff was epic. The pickups sound great as well. The hard work paid off.
Rabea really glad to see you got the bareknuckle endorement your killing the game right between the kraken and bareknuckle and chapman. I'm glad to see things going good for you. I have enjoyed your playing for some time now.
After watching that, I am 100% putting a Silo Bridge pup in my Warmoth Telecaster build I'm doing! Congrats on the pickups man, they sound wicked!
So deserved and probably one of the best guitarists of this generation 🤙🏼
So creative. Clear, raw, and brutal. An absolute Masterpiece 💯 🔥
Seriously one of the best tracks you've ever made. I'm getting these. 100%.
Your compositions always sound so complex, yet so melodic. So worth the signature set!
Your playing never ceases to amaze me. And awesome sounding pickups, very clear.
This sounds like an unreleased The Ocean track. Absolutely top shelf
Honestly, I can't say anything about the the product. But
these riffs you keep blowing out again and again (this one in particular)... Damn! So powerful! So original!
RESPECT !
Man... This is what I call a masterpiece. Nothing more to say. I love that sound !
Bea’s tone is next level with these, and I didn’t think that was possible. Looks like I’m buying these, let’s hope they sound good in either a PRS or the bride of a Strat
I had aftermaths and ragnaroks in my carts earlier this week and didn’t pull the trigger.
I guess now I know why.
I just bought Rags for both my Ibanez 7 and Chap ML-1. I'm not bummed, but now I'm gonna have to get a second job to get these. Although, I'd have an excuse to get a new guitar to put them in...
THIS is how you advertise something. I am in AWE! Holy shit what a track!
I would give a kidney to hear Maynard write and sing something over this.
Thinking exactly the same thing. This is definitely influenced by Tool
Alright, so now we've got two kidneys for sale...
@@rickc2102 Three
Clay Smith Guitars make it 4
Maynard from 98
First and foremost - Congratulations, and extremely well deserved! Secondly - DEFINITELY need a tutorial video on some of the main riffs in this BANGER! Holy shiiiiiiiiit
Yea man. This one's a piece of art. This song tells a thousand stories in 4 minutes.
So deserved. Everything about this is incredible!
All this riff and songs on rabea channel deserves an album. So catchy... greetings from France 🤘
Man, even if I were deaf and blind I couldn't dislike this vid. Bea, you have such creative tracks for demos!
Got Bare Knuckles in all my guitars... Cant live without them! These are awesome! Great playing and song as well.
Bloody hell, Rabea... this is astounding! Congrats on the signature pickups!
That grin at the end "nailed it"
Those slides at 3:05 are just perfect.
What an amazing song!!!! WOW.... Melody, riffage, and harmonic bliss!!!! Good Job MAN!!!
Huge congratulations man! So happy for you. They look and sound amazing.
That hybrid picking riff was insane!
Killer heavy tone, sledgehammer, yet gentle and kind...Awesome pick ups! I was glued to this video...you are really intense and spot on! Simply Awesome! 🐾
I bought my first set of Bareknuckles because of you and now i gotta buy another because these are killer! Congrats man!
I just woke up,and I saw the video....
Mr. Rabea please saw your audience mercy.
Thanks again for your incredible music experience.
I own a pair of Aftermath.
Now I know the next..
I love the way you enjoy the sounds coming from your rig. True inspiration man!
Man, your tones are ALWAYS spot on. I love everything about this video.
Absolutely blistering demo
So good to complement your Toska sound with those, well deserved.
Absolutely legendary! Bea you are truly inspirational and inspiring! Please keep doing what you’re doing. Enjoy all of your content and can’t wait for these riffs. Hope to meet you one day just to shake your hand and say thanks.

You playing is incredible, your creativity is out of this world, your feeling... You're a fucking Monster, my man!
Watching you get so into it makes me get so pumped. Absolutely righteous riffing dude.
What a great piece of music ! Love those hybrid picking licks.
When will we hear more original music!? Your riffs are among the best being written these days
There's two albums of it...
@@lmcf_gtr and I've heard them already
Pickups sound great. They seem to have a lot more note definition than the previous ones but still blend everything together into a coherent whole. Also, that demo song was immense.
I'm three years too late to this video but I have to say this is an inspirational composition.
Love the raw energy and gut punch! Steadily becoming my favorite guitarists!
This is a masterpiece!! we need tabs asap!! kepp up the good work
Dude, please put this on spotify. This would be in my playlist in a heartbeat if I could put it in there.

This song, mix, guitar and drum sounds are beyound incredible !!!
Incredible Bea, just incredible! So chuffed for you! They sound great and it must feel great to have had such a massive opportunity, congrats!
Man! I'm on an emotional roller coaster! I want to learn it! Lesson lesson lesson!🙌
I am so in love with this melody holy hell
Man those sound amazing! Such clarity on big chords. Cannot wait until they are released!
They’re available now!

Jesus Christ Bea, what an absolute belter of a tune. Pickups sound ace, too.
Wow🤩love this transparency, clarity and punch 🥊 great one, Rabea 💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You are one of the best players out there Bea! Gratz on the sig pick ups man, you deserve them and so much more!!
This Jam reminds me of exactly why you are my favorite all-time guitar player
That sound kicks ass.... the riff, the tuning, the picking.... everything :D
Still my favorite guitarist to date... just fucking incredible
Bea this is great news man. And as always playing is rad as hell.
This song is super cool. Loved the production and the video as well, it's powerful and raw even if it's in a comfy home studio. Beast player and artist

Great pickups and amazing track! Would love to hear that one live on the next Toska tour in Europe as well as In the Face of the Nameless, True Grit and The Rags. Love your playing style!
Sick. Your chord theory is second to none
Sounded KILLER !!!! Was expecting to see wood shavings fly off!!!

Congrats on the signature pickups!! Love the clarity of these Silos
Love BKP! I put them on my Telecaster. Amazing company and they help you get the tones you are after! After a few email exchanges with Tim I ended up having the Blackguard series Tele bridge pickup with a SlabBoard Strat neck pickup to put on my Telecaster!
Rabea+guitar=goosebumps
that hybrid picking!!! sweet tone man!
Dude this song is amazing! Stoked about the pickups for sure but the song has me just as hype.
