Hello!
I finally got my hands on some Bare Knuckles after craving them for a while, was considering the Aftermaths or the Black Hawks but eventually ended up getting the Juggernauts because I really liked the fatness I heard in various clips of them.
I fitted these in my LTD AW-7 (Alex Wade from Whitechapel signature) yesterday, but before that I made sure to record some samples with the old DiMarzio D-Activators to compare with the new pickups.
Had to do quite some filing for the pickups to fit in the pickguard but it ended up pretty good, some edges did not end up too well though but they can't really be seen unless you're looking really close.
You can hear the samples here, it's a bit sloppy played but this is just to get a feel of how they sound:

I think the difference is most evident on my high gain sounds but they sound almost the same to me on the clean sounds, it's basically just a bit more of the low mids with a slight boost in the bass from what I can hear, also a small increase in output, have a listen and let me know what you think![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
