I used the mics in my BDSM BC Rich Warlock NJ Neck-Thru for about 3 months.
Now replaced with Seymour Duncan SH2 Jazz-in handle and TB6-Distortion in bridge.

(Much of what I will say is compared to V7 and V8 that I had on my old Ibanez RG550 EX, then the same quality microphones)

What I liked is still pronounced the versatility offered by the difference in timbre between the neck pickup and the bridge. A priori one would think that given the reputation of these microphones, Bc Rich did not break your ass and just dropping out of the pickups high output without anything interesting behind.
On the contrary. The neck pickup has a real brightness (more than the SH2 actually) that surprised me the first time. To be honest I was expecting something vaguely clear but no more, as Ibanez V7 ... But the result has been well exceeded.
Clear sound that almost resembles a simple game that can also be saturated Blues shamelessly with a good crunch.
After, perhaps this is due also to the body of my maple NJ Warlock Neck-Thru, which facilitated the "clarity" of sound, delivering a maple favoring his treble.
I doubt that the result is so convincing a series Bronze for example ...

As for the bridge pickup, not bad, it is still in a register that is of little originality, he potato, is more precise to the level it delivers.
Sound a little deaf, which forced me to raise the tone of my guitar to come up with something that I liked. One often reads that BDSM is "drooling", it must be said that these are micro "free", who are there either for short runs or for playing time to be replaced ...

In comparison with other plant microphones in other brands, I would say they are still interesting. The neck pickup has more personality than the Ibanez V7, the burying the V8 bridge pickup Ibanez in power. However, they seem much worse than the Duncan Designed found on Jackson, especially in terms of accuracy.

As for the price / quality ratio it does not arise since they are mounted automatically on 90% of the Bc Rich. I sold mine for 35 € and this seems a price rasionnable. To boost a scratch entry-level or manufactured by different parts of Recycling 'they will show themselves friendly.

Since I have compared to V7 and V8 with Ibanez and I figured the same quality it was concluded, therefore they are better than the Ibanez INF offered on its smaller models of guitar.
