They sound pretty decent, but if you`re planning to change I would recommand a bit more specialized brand such as Dimarzio, Seymour Duncan, BKP, Lindy Fralin etc. And with those brands, Zakk`s the man to ask You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Here's a chart of how Carvin themselves rate each unit:- If you have a particular Carvin model in mind let me know and I'll dig out the exact Spec for you!!

It has a higher Bass response and a higher High Mid and Treble response. If you buy direct from Carvin at the moment they have a sale on and one of these will only cost you$39.99 instead of the usual $109! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I wasn't playing really high-gain stuff with them so it's hard to say what they'd be like when pushed hard all the time compared to others but for everything up to a Classic Rock sound they'd be fine. HERE's the page where I got the graph from, if you go there they have a table with the Resistance and Magnet type listed. Here's the Seymour Duncan Tonechart (Specsheet) comparison table.

Jan 9 2010, 05:19 PM	Learning Tone Master Posts: 3.185 Joined: 22-June 07 From: Germany	I think a Bareknuckle Nailbomb Humbucker would sound great for your sound in a Ibanez RG. It gives you a cool rythm tone and a warm, singing lead sound that you are missing on the Invader. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Jan 9 2010, 06:19 PM	Learning Tone Master Posts: 3.185 Joined: 22-June 07 From: Germany	What guitar is it actually going in? I need to know which fretboard, neck and body wood and also what shape the guitar has (strat, etc...) The Nailbomb is the most versatile Bareknuckle pickup! Great cleans, good rock and metal tone but not too heavy or extreme and a really cool leadsound BUT it is a high powered alnico pickup so in an all mahagony guitar with a thick body (for example and explorer or Les Paul without a maple top) the nailbomb would sound muddy because it doesn't cut through the wood...

If you contact Warmoth about this then I'm sure they'll offer some great advice too! They're very helpful people who know their products very well!!
