Rabea Massaad's Signature Bare Knuckle Triptych Single Coil Full Tone Test

[@CentaurusRelax314]

I already have two Strats. So, what you’re telling me is that I need a third. You make a compelling case, sir.

[@JohnFoxBass]

Ordering a set right now - YOU ROCK, thanks Rabea! Hope to see you in Mannheim.

[@stroopwafel6141]

That alnico III bridge pickup sounds nice and full. I'm a dedicated HSS-player - currently Crawler-Irish Tours set - but this set seems quite flexible too. All my guitars have BKP's.

[@ayjbray]

What BKP bucker do you think you would run with the Bea neck/mid single coils?

[@ruatonim]

I'm impressed. It takes a lot to impress me with a new pickup as the market is so saturated. However, not to blow smoke, but when Rabea and Bare Knuckle team up for a new pickup, I get excited. Especially that bridge pickup. So many sets fall flat with a thin bridge single coil pickup, and this is one of the few that just don't. The plate trick works and the rest of the set sound very calibrated to make every position the best. Now that this video is out, I would love to see an A/B of plastic vs metal pickguard to expand on your earlier comment. Cheers.

[@nickcoumbe]

I don't understand the physics, but the concept of the zinc base plate is genius. These are really great sounding pickups.

[@ChristopherWalker007]

The tone for both clean and overdriven is beautiful.

[@vivekteega]

Congrats Rabea!!

[@timbennett6644]

these pickups are sublime. I have always used the Pat Pending '63 Bareknuckles with Zinc plate on Bridge. The sound of these new pickups are what I have always tried to get. Looks like I will be ordering a set for my EJ Strat.

[@adamplaza3935]

I googled the name and 🤯 superior name giving for a 3piece singlecoil set 🤘🤘

[@zakkybagis3068]

Sounds Full, Tight and Awesome as expected. Im curious how this pickup do John Frusciante funk style sound ,

[@danelectr]

Omg luv the tone..hope it will be available in the philippines..

[@BKPickups]

We can ship direct, or Guitar Pusher in Quezon City is a dealer of our products

[@danelectr]

@@BKPickups ahh thanks.

[@togelz]

Is there anyone who has tried both The Triptych sets and The Trilogy sets?, i wonder how those two Pickup sets are different in terms of the usual clean Strat sound and the high gain sound?

[@jarrodwalker5186]

Those are sick!

[@BrettFairchild]

I wish there was a dedicated video for the BKP impulse single coil set, not just the humbuckers

[@TheMunstawave]

Perfect ❤❤

[@DaveyWoodford]

Bravo ❤ , nice pups indeed. .

[@bjorn_bennett]

Siiiiiiick. Awesome tone

[@danielpines4229]

Revisiting this vid after the newest TPS video. What is BKP's recommended wiring? RWRP? Tone control wiring - traditional or EJ-style? Thinking of ordering a pre-wired guard direct

[@BKPickups]

We would usually default to RWRP and a bridge tone mod to give you maximum flexibility on a classic Strat set, but some players certainly do prefer the slightly more crisp tone in positions 2 and 4 that come with running a stock polarity middle coil. It's really down to personal preference and whether the extra spank, or a little bit of noise cancellation would be more important to you

[@ayjbray]

If you were going to run a HSS setup with these what Bare Knuckle Bucker would you run in the bridge?

[@JOOODYJOOODY]

can you tell me the wire guage of the sinner ? 43 or 44 ? no mention on web site except for ....SPECIFICATION Position: Bridge DC Resistance: 21.5 kΩ Magnet: Alnico 5 Position: Middle DC Resistance: 15.5 kΩ Magnet: Alnico 5 Position: Neck DC Resistance: 15.5 kΩ Magnet: Alnico 5

[@yobanyhernandez125]

will you have a set for. tele eventually? All my guitar gear has become "Rabea Massed" recently, not because of fan boying but because genially after testing so many different thing, the Massed stuff just resonates with me.

[@BKPickups]

Never say never!

[@taztherocker1]

They sound really good! They sound dead quiet. Are you using noise suppression or anything like that?

[@colinparks619]

Need to hear these vs fat 50 or 60 fender ones , then ill be sold on the neck and middle

[@carsgunsandguitars]

They sound great, kind of like my Fralin blues specials which has an inductance plate under the bridge pu.. the freeway 10 way switch and a treble bleed circuit round it out as the perfect 3 single set for me.

[@danidogma]

What is your fingerboard radius on that start? Thanks!

[@josephrusso7069]

I want to buy 2 of the neck pickups. Are they hum canceling?

[@BKPickups]

All of our Tele pickups are true singlecoils, so each pickup doesn't hum-cancel on its own, but you can spec pairs / sets of coils so that they hum-cancel when you run a couple of pickups together.

[@freeed2722]

Great Tones! Does he use a treble bleed with that pickups?

[@BKPickups]

I believe this is just on a standard volume pot, no treble bleed

[@freeed2722]

@@BKPickups thank You for Your Answer! I am a new User of your Strat-Pickups, do you recommend using them with or without Travel bleed?

[@wabwabb8798]

How does this compare to triology set?

[@BKPickups]

The Trilogy set has more output, more midrange and more low end. The Triptych set has quite a modest output, with a classic '60s vibe, where the Trilogy set is more powerful and contemporary.

[@miguela.migallon5055]

I was going to sell my strat because i have never been in the strat sound but this set could be what i was looking for... Only one problem with it. How now uk is out of europe and i am from spain i have to pay an extra 30% more of foes and taxes.... It's too expensive 😢😢😢😢

[@BKPickups]

The prices to the EU haven't changed very much at all, as we used to have to charge you 20% UK VAT, but now you get it VAT free from us, but have to pay domestic VAT in Spain. Hopefully you'll get to try a set of these out!

[@markuso1862]

⁠@@BKPickupsin Italy it’s literally a theft. 25-30% plus taxes on the tax itself. But we’ll, that’s Italy. I just paid 85 euros to retrieve a humbucker and a HSP90. 😑

[@miguela.migallon5055]

@@markuso1862 spain is the same...

[@stoneysdead689]

They sound great man- I've got an Affinity Strat HSS model I'm about to turn into a SSS model. Someone gave me a CV 70s HSS Strat for xmas so- I no longer play the Affinity. And since you can't really sell one for enough to make it worth the time and effort- I think I'll turn it into a parts-caster. Need to get a good neck on it first- make sure I can get a neck on it that I want to invest in. Can anyone recommend a neck that's ready to be put on, higher quality, but reasonably affordable? I guess I could just buy a Fender neck huh? I've seen guys put them on Squiers- they fit perfectly- no adjustments required usually. Buy a preloaded SSS pickguard- and install it. Then I could have the frets leveled and crowned and all that jive, and a good setup done. And it's finished. You know I may end up with something I like even better than my Classic Vibe HSS huh?

[@KingMute]

honestly i would try to find a used neck on reverb, or use musikraft or warmoth if your budget is higher

[@bjornvillafuerte4125]

Are there options to this to be in flat profile, vintage staggered and RWRP?

[@BKPickups]

yes, all of the same basic options as any of our standard range Strat sets!

[@shanehammons5118]

Is he using rwrp in this vid or standard polarity

[@BKPickups]

This set should be RWRP

[@EamonBJWyse]

Should sell a loaded pickguard for these.

[@BKPickups]

You can order any combination of pickguard and singlecoils from us, so we certainly do!
