Hey hey guys, so I currently have a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and an alnico 2 in the neck of my Gibson Explorer. It sounds great but I'm thinking I might want to try something else. Does anyone have any experience with bare knuckle pickups? Any potentially unknown brands that might be worth a look?
Considering new pickups

I recently swapped the Alnico5 magnet in my JB for a Alnico2 and I like the result very much

If it sounds great why change?

for me: bare knuckle juggernaut.
Every bodies say it s cool for "modern metal".
I think that it isn't true. There are very versatile and warm. The clean sound is even better than the sound of my Les Paul. You can do everything you want with...

How can you be bored with something that sounds good? It's like saying I get bored with good sex. Of course you can do what ever you want. But don't make the mistake and sell or trade the pickups you have now. You might get dissapointed with other pickups and realise you already had the best ones for that guitar.

I wouldn't get rid of current pickups. I guess I'm just looking to see if there's something better out there. I'm constantly unfulfilled

I hear you Sheepfan. I recently thought all of the YouTube videos of the twisted tele neck pu sounded great. So I bought one and slapped it in. It was only there for about two hours. I've always loved that guitar, but now I know I love it even more.

Bare Knucks are always a win but I'm super advocate for the Fishman Fluance pickups. They are like pickups in 4k lol

FF=4k

Try a pair of Seymour Duncan Phat Cat's. It will open up your mahogany axe very nicely.

Never heard of the phat cats, I'll have to look Into those. And dear God, I was almost going to comment about fishman fluence pickups. Every video I've heard online they sound flat and thin. Am I crazy? . Granted I've never heard them in person but in every video they're junk. everyone I see online rides their dick now and I just don't understand it .

Side note/ question. Does anyone know what amp was used to record sad but true? I know Marshall jcm800 and mesa mark iv were all over the album. But that song in particular doesn't sound like either one to me. Am I way off?

interesting question.
it's probably better to open a new thread in 'other gear' where the question is also in the title.
