Yeah, it's so hard to really know 4sure which one would sound best until dropping them in your own axe with your own pedals and amps.

so true... from my experience, the body wood the pickup is being put in makes a world of difference... if you put a great pickup in the wrong body, it will sound mediocre...
speaking great combos, i'm dying to try out a black dog in a mahogany bodied 7
These arnt marked up
. They are in a country thats currency is just worth more than ours.
My list
1. Seymour Duncan Invader - Seriously blown away by the awesomeness of that beast.
2. Seymour Duncan Distortion - Surprised as well, but then again, I've heard some sick tones with this thing
3. BKP Warpig - Damn. It's tied with second place. Sounds pretty gnarly. I'd love to try this one someday.
4. BKP Aftermath - For my taste it wouldn't work so well. I have heard some delicious tones with this one, but it's just not my thing. However, I think it'd be awesome in a darker toned guitar.
Cool vid nonetheless

It would've been awesome to hear some dimarzios, too.

I'm just impressed someone could come up with such cool freakin' riffs, in all the varying styles, with such EASE!! 
(it seems to take my forever to come up with anything that cool...)
Oh, and my preference:
1. Warpig
2. Distortion
3. Invader
4. Aftermath (always sounded dull to my ear...)

I'd much rather save $100 by purchasing a SD Distortion and reconcile the differences in eq with a few very minor tweaks on my amp. Sure, the BKP's sound great, but not enough to justify the delta in cost. Take a look at the graphic eq at the end of Keith's video and that will give you a pretty good idea of which frequences to adjust to match the Warpig. All IMHO of course.

Are you dense dude?? 
Are you honostly expecting them to ship them to america and make half the money off each pickup?
There money is worth twice ours. Whats so hard to get about this?

I don't know dude. Sorry you got your feelings hurt about your favorite pickups. I wasn't meaning they weren't good pickups. Only thing I was saying that Bareknuckles aren'† worth the extra cost for me and Seymour Duncan have pickups that compete on the same level imo. I could care less what they charge, or if it's to do with exchange rates or importation. It still works out being more expensive.
I replaced a JB on one of my guitars with a Holy Diver. It's a nice pickup but I wouldn't say necessarily any better than the JB, just.a little different.

2. Warpig (brutal)
3. Distortion (fierce sounding)
4. Invader (muddy)
Fun with tone-words...

I appreciate Keith taking the time to demo these pickups, but I think if anything it just shows which pickups are suited for certain guitars. He is playing a maple neck thru with what I assume is an ebony board. From that combo alone I expect the warpig and invader to shine. They work well in brighter guitars because of the thick low end and mid push. I think aftermaths sound great in all mahogany guitars, especially with rosewood boards. Distortions I have only played in Gibsons and they aren't too bad. Not my favorite SD pickup, but they compliment mahogany too.

you guys are forgetting that the sound difference is miniscule between the pickups. i wouldnt be able to tell the difference between any of them in a blind test.
the differences really shine when it comes to feeling. playing them makes all the difference in the world. personaly i find that pickups are far more responsive to playing technique than any other factor.

If you have a set of really retardedly expensive headphones then the differences are way more noticeable. They're all very similar still, but in a recording situation where you're really going into details I think it matters a little more.
What? That made perfect sense to me, the money being worth twice as much doesn't seem to be the issue. He didn't even add shipping.
(though I don't think "markup" is the proper word to use...)

You amurikans also forgot import tax.
Back on topic, I'm very impressed with Warpig. Always thought that it's a bit too bassy but damn that's some powerful sounds!

Having owned all 4 at one point, the warpig's the only one I still have.
1: Warpig (balanced is the best way to put it)
2: Invader (very close second by the way)
3: Aftermath
4: Distortion
Warpig and Invader are so full sounding and crunchy, Warpig wins a close one because its tighter in the low end. Distrotion and aftermath just sounded thin to me.
