Bare Knuckle Pickups BKP-92

Few months of use on an LP CS, RI 58 with p90, special production, found secondhand on ebay. The guitar sounds of the fire god, the neck pickup is terrible, but always had the upper left on my hunger (my end ?)... A little loud, shrill, good mic but something painful in the long run ... I'm down the treble, presence, change the volume knob, play on different amps, nothing solves my "problem". Plain unusable ... And especially the opinion of Madam: I love him less that one (the FA), it has something aggressive ...
Knowing a little BKP (I own and have tried a lot), j'email Tim Mills, I describe my gear, my microphone today, my wishes ... his answer is succinct: take the BKP92. I throw myself into the water ... 10j after receiving order.
The result: a super sharp micro ... usable even in bright, even if a little hook, a stroke volume / tone and it's good, good midrange, nice crisp highs, firm but not broken ear. Dynamic, warm, you can put the gain at the bottom, RnR is always musical. I'm really happy.
Once more with BKP, excellent microphones. Tim and his staff always respond quickly and very wisely. +1 With the preceding notice.

Excellent P90 in its rather "tough" without losing its vintage, warm, articulate and very well balanced supporting the crunch and distortion effect without ever becoming rough!
Excellent balance of "P90" coupled with the Alnico V neck position on my Gibson LP'55! The perfect balance!

The goal is to provide Bare Knuckle pickups guitar the best possible quality.

All microphones are hand assembled in the UK.
The wrap: The microphone is the element of the instrument for transforming the vibrations into an electrical signal and thus amplify sound. There are two main types of microphones. First microphones simple (simple for single coil) consists of a magnet (ceramic or AlNiCo alloy-aluminum-nickel-cobalt-) itself surrounded by a copper wire forming the winding. This type of microphone is quite sensitive to interference (electromagnetic fields). To overcome the problem created Gibson in the 1950's humbucking pickups, also known as "humbuckers". The humbucker is simply a combination of micro double reverse, this combination to filter out disturbances by reverse polarization between the two microphones. In addition to these two characteristics microphones can be active or passive, an active micro adopt is similar to a passive microphone, but its signal is directly processed by an amplifier, thus requiring an external power traditionally in the form of batteries. The signal produced by a micro active is very high it is mostly used for bass guitars. is wound on the fly "scatterwinding", by doing the enameled wire is dispersed, as opposed to a winding machine, the electrical resistance between the son is lowered.
Result: more acute and more balanced response across all frequencies with details of a more dynamic and open.
Wax bath / wax: In order to eliminate microphonic feedback coils are dipped in a mixture of wax / paraffin. The pickups with covers undergo two baths.
Components: All components used are of the highest quality available. The spacers are maple cut more than 100 years in workshops Bare Knuckle. Magnets Alnico II, V and ceramic magnets are magnetized.

The plates and nuts are nickel / silver to avoid losses in the treble. The plates on Start and Tele pickups are Forbonnais with plates grounded nickel / silver or brass. The nuts of the P-90 pickups are made of nickel with fixing plates nickel / silver or brass.
For your information, the Marshalls are calibrated with instruments equipped with microphones Bare Knuckle!
