Bare knuckle rebel yells

after about an hour or so I finally finished installing the bare knuckle rebel yell pickups in my y2d tomorrow I will restring and give them a test drive , hopefully I like them.
 
I have one in my Albert Lee HH. It fits really, really well with the guitar. It's not too dissimilar to the stock DiMarzio pickups; a little more powerful but much more clear, and with a little more mids.
 
Love the Rebel Yells in my JP6. I also put some 63 veneers in my Silo Special with great results.

Bare Knuckles rule.

I have a set in my PRS SE singlecut and they are really nice and Huge sounding. The bridge gets incredibly raunchy and meaty with definition, while the neck has cleans that are glassy and chimey, totally smooth.

They are a fantastic set of pickups in my opinion. If my PRS didn't sound as good as it does with the Rebel yells, I probably would have sold it already.

Congrats,

Tom
 
I put the rebel yells in and I didn't really like them too much ,so I put a dimarzio 36th anniversary in the neck and a super distortion in the bridge and I seem to like that much better . I though the rebel yells were too modern sounding for me.
I'm going to give these dimarzios a week and see how I like them.
I put a push pull pot in to coils split to get single coil sounds.
The morse does sound pretty good now through the Marshall jvm combo.
 
The biggest 'culture shock' with the Bareknuckles to me is that they are much more articulate than the DiMarzios, so you almost feel as if they lack balls or output. They're also very sensitive to pickup height, so don't be affraid to play around with it if needed :)
