I've watched this at least 10 times. Tim and Nolly are in my opinion the greatest sound architects in the world. I can not explain how f#$%ing exited to get my Polymath. I don't think it's going make me great but I am damn sure it will open doors. God Bless You Guys and Thank You for all your hard work, time and willingness to share your knowledge. ✌️❤️🤟
The last few years have seen a crazy amount of high output pick ups. Personally, I have always leaned toward a medium output humbucker. II can't wait to try these out.
Best sales tactic ever take guitar players that are phenomenally talented and put them in the development stage of your products... Great now I want all the bare knuckles pickups☆!!!
I just bought a pair of Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell pick ups. I put them in a PRS Custom 24. I can't believe how great these pick ups are. They are about as perfect as it gets.
Love it had ordered mine the moment the announcement got out. Also its interesting to see Nolly mention he sets his that close to strings. Guess thats due to the unoriented magnet with lesser pull.
To be fair even with a big ceramic magnet in a humbucker you can still raise the bridge pickup close to the strings without issues. The string pull thing is most severe with the neck position and mostly with single coils (where the pole pieces themselves are the magnets)
@@adamnollygetgood that's cool ...didn't know that. I'm really interested in trying out the polymath. Recently I've been using a silo in my prs custom 22 in drop B and I had to lower it a bunch since it's pumping a bit too much bass at times with some amps at such low tuning. (think 2.5-2.8mm) What I'm hoping to get with the polymath is a bit more even and tighter bottom end response that does not come at the cost of making everything too bright.
Ya tim should do a live stream with nolly. Im sure we’d all love to have the opportunity to ask tim and nolly pickup questions. Im totally going to buy a set of polymaths to swap out the stock ibanez AZ seymour duncans. Im curious too to see if the ibanez AZ dynamix switch works with bareknuckle pickups, i imagine so. Bareknuckle by far has the most unique voices on their line, and their single coils are amazing. I did a misha partscaster build with a juggernaunt and trilogy’s in the neck and mid and they are almost more fun to play on than the bridge. The neck trilogy is so tubey.
Yes, our 4 conductor humbnuckers will work with the Dynamix -10 switch, but it's going to be best to order a set with a reversed magnet in one pickup (we usually make that the neck pickup) which will allow you to get hum cancelling when running the inner or outer coils together.
More aggressive Andy Timmons tone?? Okay, I'm sold! I would love to put this in the bridge position of my Charvel DK24. Do you guys have any recommendations for a neck and middle single coil that would be a good match for the Polymath?
Awesome, glad you’re into the vibe! You could pair the Polymath with any of the vintage hot or higher output singles depending on the combination you’re after. I’d say the Irish Tours could be a great option to consider to start off with.
We may well expand our bass range in the future, sure, but one of the big things for us is that active pickups account for such a huge proportion of the bass world and that's something that we're not ever likely to move into. We'll see!
Yeah, that will certainly work. The Silo neck has a lower output with more headroom when compared to the Polymath neck, but the overall voicing will blend nicely
@@nickp440 He is not thoughtful and he is not the most intelligent. How did you determine that he is the most intelligent? Because he sounds smart? 🤣 Elon Musk's glorification is disgustingly pathetic. He came in as a visionaire with money and bought off Tesla and had the people build what he envisioned. He invested and it worked out. Most of his opinions outside of his field of expertise are questionable to say the least. The way he treats his employees is so corporate. He's all about maximizing his bottom line at all costs. Pathetic. He's a typical elitist capitalist who doesn't give two shits about his workers. Yet without them Tesla would be nothing. But let's say he treated his workers well for the sake of argument, that still doesn't make him the most intelligent and thoughtful person on this planet. You're completely infatuated with this super brain image that the media has given him. If he was such a super brain he wouldn't do half the shit he does because he would realize that it's bigoted, prejudiced, elitist and flat out mysagonistic. I'm glad that there's people who can look past the image he was given and judge him for the person he his and separate that from his role as a CEO. Just because someone is rich and the CEO of a successful company doesn't mean they're super smart or extremely talented or whatever. That's such a fallacy that is so common in our society. Homeless = lazy and dumb, rich = hard working and smart. In fact it's the propganda of elitists who sit on their asses all day long letting their money work for them. You should talk to people in finance to find out how at a certain point you don't have to work anymore to get more money. Your money will work for you. But the workers will always take the hit if profit is the only thing you care about. Besides, Tesla cars have a lot of issues. It's not like he's immune to human error. Good cars but nothing to the point where I'd deem himin a genuis or smarter than other people in lower positions. Lots of smart people just don't give a damn about money and success. They fill their brains with knowledge and one doesn't have to be rich and successful to suck in all the knowledge there is. You can be a fucking homeless dude and read books or learn math or whatever. And you can be dumbest person on this planet and be rich (e.g. Donald Trump's son/daughter..They're both idiots. Born with money that they didn't have to work for. They don't do anything but splurge and splurging doesn't require mental fortitude). Stop buying into elitist propganda and see Musk for who he is.
@@nickp440 I don't even know what that means and I won't bother googling it. The fact that you can't respond with any substance is all I need to know about you and is exactly what I expected. I rest my case 😂
I wish this was an hour long; I could listen to Nolly and Tim to talk pickups and tone all day.
My thoughts exactly! I want to know more!! Just ordered the Peacemaker set, and this Polymath set is gonna be my second. Gonna order them Tuesday!
Could listen to those two voices all day long. What an absolute amazing duo of human beings.
Two passionate people talking about what they love is so enthralling. Doesn't get more passionate than these two.
"Andy Timmons vibe" is a pretty strong starting point.
How I love this "making of..." clips ❤️
Would love to see a bass pickup set between Nolly and Tim too!
My guitar is about to Get Good
Have polymath in my OD and retrofit my old charvel with a polymath. Awesome pickup 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@Rabea Massaad, when do we get to hear your demo of these pickups?? 🤘🏻
You guys are taking guitar tech to next level. Hats off.
Brilliant. Can’t wait for my set to arrive 😎
Must haz more dem0000s! Awesome history and R&D rundown.
Best sales tactic ever take guitar players that are phenomenally talented and put them in the development stage of your products... Great now I want all the bare knuckles pickups☆!!!
such a creative mind I can't wait to buy a set !
Amazing, like everything from this amazing brand !
Love your work Gentlemen. Thank you both

Gotta get a set of these asap
Great work guys! 💜
Cheers, Omer!
His head is like an oversized neck profile. Lots of love!!
Tim rocking the rabea merch
This is an inspiring and brilliant video....I'm liking these pickups more and more!! 😀🙌🏻🎸
Ok, I will have to get a pair. Sold! At age 66, I have finally found a personally resonant design. Well done. 😁😁 Now please do a bass set!

Right? I was wondering why it didn't give him intonation issues.

@@BKPickups This is exactly what I needed to know - just about to order a set of Polymath's for my AZ! Cheers guys
Bare knuckle needs to make a set of pickups called the "Lenny McLeans".

Average musician talks about the “tone”…but Nolly went to the engineering part of things here xddd…
Make more bass pickups (soapbars)🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸

POLYMATH 的意思就是聪明绝顶吧! 像一拳超人一样 变秃所以变强。
Does anyone with experience with both have a comparison between Marks alpha and Omega pickups (which I have) and these pick ups?
i own them and itd be cool to hear someone explain this
What do you guys think about Silo's in the Neck and Polymath in the bridge? Would it work well in theory?
Yeah, that will certainly work. The Silo neck has a lower output with more headroom when compared to the Polymath neck, but the overall voicing will blend nicely
@@BKPickups what about silo on the bridge and polymath on the neck?haha
what's the background music?
it's rather 👌
It's all Nolly's original tunes put together as part of the demo tracks for the Polymath pickups
Wow. What great marketing.
Song on background please 🙏🏻
All of the music on this video is part of the piece that Nolly wrote specifically to demonstrate the pickups
Sorry for the Dumb question, but are all Bare Knuckle Humbucker Passive?
Yes
@@seansalo5117 Thank you!
I thought this was a new VSAUCE video :(
Hey vsauce michael here
This is the video of creating the Polymath pickups.
_...or is it?_
