... Yes, BARE KNUCKLE PICKUPS, of the UK!

As for the obvious question, yes, I did approach Duncan first, but was turned down.

I have a bunch of pups on their way, and will provide you all with my reviews.

And, NO, I will not be getting rid of my Screamin' Demons! The Bare Knuckles will first be going into my Kamikaze 4 project, and then replacing the DiMarzios in My Jem. After that, I will have to seriously consider any further swapping.

First, let me tell you a bit about my experiences in dealing with TIM MILLS, the brain-child of Bare Knuckle. Tim is one of those guys that truly understands the high end, custom market -- he is attentive, polite, knowledgeable, takes his time to make sure you are 1,000% happy before hanging up the phone. (He also plays guitar in an Ozzy tribute band, so we hit it off straight away)

My experiences with Tim are the mirror image of dealing with guys like Wayne Charvel and Laz Gaijic ... as a high end customer, you're about to drop major cash on an item, and you want to feel totally comfortable, not have any doubts. With larger companies, you're left to the vagaries of your local dealer, many of which don't know squat about their product. Duncan is a rare exception, in that this happens to be the best users forum on the internet, with nice, helpful people that are also TONE PROs.

However, Duncan and I couldn't work out an arrangement, and I had to look elsewhere ...

You've already told me this, but

Awsome news. Congrats!

sweet dude.... they have gotten great reviews in all the articles i have read .....it would be coool if you posted some clips when you get them.

How come you couldn't make it with Duncan?

Congrats, man! I just checked out their website, loved the names they had for the pups. Which are you going to use, or are you still deciding?

Hails And I´m Happy With That
Keep ****ing, Oops, Rocking

The pups that are being made for me at the moment are a Miracle Man for the bridge, and an Irish Tour for the neck of my Kamikaze 4. I'm getting the NAILBOMB cammo cover for the MM, and the IT is coming with a few different shades of green covers to test with the Kami ...

I don't meet their requirements for artist pricing.

Great news TO! I looked at those pickups when I was on my single coil search and they looked like a great company with some boutique sounds at not so boutique prices. I'd love a review of them after you get them in!

congrats man Let me know what you think of those

I just listened to the Geoff Whitehorn - Crawler MP3 clips. They sound great. Congrats.

Though, they will probably want you to endorse another model.

From what ive heard Bare Knuckle pickups are absolutely awesome, make sure to post some reviews when you get them.

Congratulations! I'm happy for you. I'm also sorry things didn't work out between you and but I hope you always feel the welcome keep us up-to-date on events occuring in your career.

All the best.

Are you allowed to say what the requirements are, or did you have to sign an NDA or something like that?

Nope, just being tasteful
You can email Jessica for the press kit requirements.

Edit: I just realized that looks like I didnt' send them my press kit.
I did; but I was still turned down. Like I said, tho, no hard feelings.
