Now this looks like what I'm looking for in pickups, something that's still clear and percussive as a single coil but can still do high gain like a humbucker.
These pickups are phenomenal. Just installed them in my 1998 Yamaha Pacifica and has transformed the guitar. Sounds amazing. They sound EXACTLY like this vid.
I have been waiting for a demo to be posted for these for a while now. I am impressed that they still maintain the single coil sound despite being designed to be more like a humbucker.
These are some of the finest single coil's I've heard in quite some time! I'm pretty-much a humbucker guy, so makes sense that these would shift my willy.
Totally unique and awesome approach to pickup-building - the sound result is further exponentially impressive!!! Damn, now I need to get another strat to fit those in 🤣🤣🤣
Superb demo and awesome playing. The roar when driven is very nice. I even like the clean tones. If I only had a another strat to BKP. For now I stick to my trusted Crawler/Irish Tours HSS strat.
You are ATRUE BAD ASS MAN !!! MAy you and your fans speed your blessings forever!!! Yeah !! And these pick ups are Amazing, I’m getting me some now hell yeah !!!
Hi, very nice demo and pickups, I have a question? I would like to buy a pair of Cobra pickups for the middle and neck position. My guitar is an alder guitar with maple fretboard and I play hard rock and heavy metal. Which humbucker pickup do you recommend?
The Blackhawk is the matching humbucker for these, if you’re after a consistent tone all round. Otherwise, it’s entirely up to you. What I will say is that the Blackhawk has incredible clarity even with high gain sounds
We are based in the UK, so all of our products are sold in GBP - the best way to get an idea of prices for your region is to build the set that you want via our website bareknucklepickups.co.uk and simply convert the totals from the checkout using Google or XE or similar online currency converter
I wind pickups myself. I went looking around and found Bare Knuckle. I've been hearing a lot about them. The prices are ridiculous. I can't see what makes them cost any more than the ones I can wind myself or standard inexpensive pickups from the major brands. Why are bare knuckle products so much more expensive than everyone else?
Have you been hearing a lot about how good they sound? We have built a solid reputation for making some of the best sounding pickups on the market, which is no accident - we manufacture our own components with absolutely no compromise on the quality of materials and wind and build everything by hand here in our workshop in Cornwall. The huge amount of return custom that we have seen over our 20+ years in business is testament to how effective that ethos of building bespoke pickups in a completely uncompromising way has proved to be. The Cobra singlecoil set is actually a great example, as I don't believe that anyone else is making a comparable set. We are the only people making the heat-treated blades and constructing a singlecoil pickup in the particular way that those are built.

did you retain the single tone and volume configuration?
@@ralvenevillareal6263 yes I did. Works great.

This demo really did these pickups justice.

I put cobras in my kiesel custom couple years ago! Absolutely sings! Love them!
It heard some Unchain the Night in there around the 6 minute mark.
The fact it does the strat thing is so impressive
great playing!
These are my favorite pickups, I built a super strat just for the set I ordered from Bare Kuckle
Just got them installed finally .. they are awesome for anything in my opinion.. You did the set justice

perfect for my project strat! if only I could have a set D:
What an awesome bit of phrasing at 5:14🤘🤘🤘🤘
Superb
Could you by chance do a demo of the Irish Tour set? I am considering buying a pair but there is not very main demos online with good audio.
Definitely on our list!
Irish Tours are incredible pickups
Can I use 500k pots for these pickups? I would like to try them in HSS setup. Thanks!
suuuper!
Thumbs up if you bought the pickups after watching this video
Was there a compressor in the chain?

Love the tone
What middle polarity you had in the middle pick up? Stock or RW/RP?
This will have been an RW/RP middle coil
For single coils what would be my best bet for a heavy ambient tight sound?
probably best to drop us an email with some examples of what you're aiming for: sales@bareknucklepickups.co.uk
Please , anyone tell me about it cost in Indian currency...?

Are you using 250k pots or 500k?
This Strat is loaded with our custom spec 280k CTS pots www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/shop/product/bare-knuckle-cts-280k-standard-shaft-potentiometer
You got some clean blues demo's per chance? These seem amazing as humbuckers replacement but I wonder how they do cleans
There's some great clean jazz blues sections in this video starting at 0.30 moving on to clean funk tones.
What are the compatible sets of capacitors for the BKP Cobra Strat?
We recommend our custom Vitamin Q 0.022ufd caps for tone pots.

Just don’t be broke
First by the way
Awesome
I’m buying
I also like it’s not all notes and solos
Can you get even heavier per chance with these pickups
yes
