Post your Bare Knuckle pics here

[caughtinamosh]

So, the aim of this thread is to get an exhaustive archive of all the Bare Knuckle cover options, especially those that aren't listed as stock on the website.

If we can build up momentum, we might even be able to get this stickied.

Do not post any "repeat" pictures. By that I mean pictures where the options are the same as a previously posted one. Theoretically, there should only be one picture of a seven string Bare Knuckle pickup, as only one uncovered option is currently available .

I'll post mine when I get my seven string Miracle Man and Cold Sweat back.

I have a Painkiller in battle worn black on the way. Hopefully Nick should have it today or tommorrow.

Here is the Cold Sweat in my Ibby. It is just white though.

man these pickups are all so sexy sounding/looking
sorry no pic, still waiting on my BKPs

but is there any explanation as to why there is only one option for 7 string pickups in term of covers? [that being none at all]

Simply put - there are no viably bought seven string humbucker covers. Tim at BK buys all the components in the UK where there are no mass produced covers. it sucks - especially the lack of "burnt chrome" option .

a warpig 7 with a distressed cover would be killer, i'd have that in a heartbeat

 

[MF_Kitten]

no-one really makes 7 string pickup covers...

if you ask tim though, i think he can chromify the bobbins and then distress them. at least he can do that to the plastic single coil covers.

if you get a hold of standard-size seymour duncan blackout plastic covers (can one get these things without getting a custom duncan passive with a cover, then yanking it off?), then you could easily have him do some trickery to it.

except for that though, you can get lots of different types of polepieces, and i'm sure he can do some things to make the bobbins look cool if you just ask him about it.

Nothing special here I'm afraid, just the black bobbins on my Painkillers

 

[zimbloth]

Here are some I've snapped over the last 10 months or so:

7-string (most models)

7-string (Warpig)

Gold Nailbombs

8-string Cold Sweat

Some of the finish options (but not all)

Painkillers w/ custom camo finish:

Warpig w/ distressed

Cold Sweat in white

Crawlers in zebra

Another custom camo PK

Burnt Chrome Miracle Man

Nailbomb w/ black matte cover & optional black screws

Warpig w/ camo

... hope that helps.

hmmm that sucks
it'd probably be easy to make them yourself though

 

[MF_Kitten]

it´s not too easy to make really, you need the proper machinery for that. alternatively, you could cut two pickup covers up and meld them together somehow.

again, if there was a way to get a hold of plastic covers, like the ones on the duncan passive-sized blackout 7 string pickups, we´d at least have a larger range of possibilities.

I've just had a thought - my Dad's Dad owns a business which deals with a mechanical and marine engineering - a lot of metalwork involved, and he has plenty of tools. Maybe, just maybe, he might be able to fashion some metal seven string covers...

Yeah, Tim got some purple bobbins for Steve Stevens' Rebel Yells. They're non-F-spaced only though.

They most definately have the tools, machinery and tradesmen to whip up something.

As soon the "lack of seven string pick-up covers" subject came up I was gonna suggest it

Probably one of the stranger requests to E&M . Still, it'd be cool to have a few made, and sent off to Tim for chrome plating and distressing/burning/acid washing (if he'd do it, which he should, cause he's a cool bloke) .

 

[Ramsay777]

If I ever get any spare time at work or if I'm down at E&M's place with the faither - I may have a fuck around myself, I'll need to have a look at a pick-up cover though - which I don't have

 

[caughtinamosh]

I'll be destroying the stock pickups in my ES335 soon enough. They physically NEED to go - they're absolute shit - so I should have a spare cover on hand before too long... .
