Man Rabea. I know you super dig the heavy stuff but IMO you were born to do the clean ambient music. I honestly don't think I have ever heard someone consistently make that kind of music better. Also: The tone you had in this video is EXACTLY what's in my head.
No shit, I was literally listening to the strat set demo at work earlier this morning and i was thinking about a signature tele set. Congratulations dude, well deserved, might pick up a set if i get any spare change
Excellent playing as always, Master ! Well a bridge pickup with Alnico III magnets, 43 gauge wire, with around 10 KOhm and a thick copper-plated steel baseplate... it's a Broadcaster ! And I like it !!!
Damn they sound great! Third set now?! Who would have thought, little Bea the skatin’ drummer has tied in with his second guitar company with his own sigs, three bands at the same time plus solo work, a killer sound, and Hannah. Damn Dude. Good job Brother.
Bea, this is what you do best: relating the technical aspects of the gear to the sound that you're trying to achieve. Keep doing this and I will keep coming back for your perspective. I think these pickups sound amazing and I have a tele that needs some new pickups.
Your guitar playing is so inspiring, I almost cannot finish watching your videos that I need to grab my guitar. Awesome music as always 🤟 I also have a tele and recently swapped the bridge single coil with a DiMarzio Fast Track T. I'm not 100% satisfied with it so I might give theese a try (at least the bridge one) I would have definitely gone for it instead, had it been out in late november last year
I’m still in the process a few years on (!) of breaking out of my lockdown-driven excess of guitar collecting - now more than ever before I really want a classic Tele. Just awesome, another absolute gem of a set that is insanely versatile and to me, perfect for how/what I play. Massive congrats man
I love the music you make and how it all sounds but it also has really made me happy to see all these pickups you have made with bare knuckle lately. I feel like i never really found the right strat set with the right balance of push and vintage vibe at the same time until you guys came out with your tryptichs and now you have made this set that has that sound that reminds me of my telecaster with the tone on about 6 or 7 where i normally run it but without having to tweak things. it amazes me how similar your tonal preferences are to mine in the single coil realm but its awesome because now I have all these options look at for my own playing and to watch you play on youtube! tldr: these sound awesome, keep making great pickups and great music.
They sound beautiful. Love the Tele sound anyway but there's definitely an improvement in terms of having the highs tamed but in no way has the tone been diminished. Tele's are awesome recording guitars. Any picked part on a Tele sounds incredible, to my ears anyway. They just cut through with a beautiful resonant chime. Great job Tim and Rabea 👏🏻
Yes! I play teles in a heavy band but haven’t found the right pickups. The things u went for are exactly what i’ve been looking for! Gotta start saving!
The tele is the be all and end all guitar. There is nothing it cant do. Congrats Bea on this new signature pickup set. You earned it over the years btother.
Hi, this sounds great, I might consider this set... very beefy indeed. I like the idea of that classic 50's sound without the icepick.... which is what led me here! What you don't mention (or maybe I missed it, sorry if thta's the case) is that your guitar is tune down two semi tones and you seem to play heavy gauges. Of course that is a big part of the "beefiness"! Now i just need to know how this set sounds with a regular tuning and a set of 10's...... Cheers!
For the Nocaster pickups you liked before: flip your bridge R, put a lefty in, have the body routed. Also top load the treble strings and make sure the treble saddles are brass. Paisley mixes saddles on 6 saddle bridges, steel on wounds brass on trebles. With a lefty bridge this tightens up the sometimes smeary bass Nocaster pickups can have, especially with A3 magnets, and puts air in the trebles. Top loading trebles makes them more elastic when bending.
I got my first Tele 7 years ago, in my 50´s! Can you imagine! The one thing I do not like about Teles is that ice pick frequency that you get! I swapped the pickups out for some handwound pickups (not Bareknuckles) with a more aggressive tone, higher output and without the ice pick frequencies! The Tele has become my go to guitar! I did consider Bareknuckles but these handwound pickups came along and they were the perfect solution for me BUT, if I havdn´t got these then Bareknuckles were top of my list!
These sound great that'll be my next set to try just installed the Twisted Tele set and I'm playing around with them for now. But definitely next on my list. Great video very informative bro
It's funny that the headstock of that guitar says Esquire and it was modded to have 2 pickups on it. Sick playing too. I hope to see more videos with that Tele. That middle position sound is heavenly. I do prefer Teles I like the sound of rather than 3 single coils Strats.
Robea, sounds awesome as always. Now I need to get another tele. You need to send a set to Dan Stienhardt….. Bare Knuckle needs to do a signature set for him to copy red….
Man those sound good, hope that opening jam is going on the next Grinding Gears. Love your high gain stuff but could go for more clean/pushed clean noodling songs too. Also curious to see if P90s are in the works and it looks like I'm not alone
wohoo congrats!!! i can sorta understand what you meant about the original pu's that where in that guitar. when i play mine, specially the neck can sometimes sound juuust a bit thin. but on the other hand, i love how it cuts through a mix, specially with some kraken gain. now you can sell your original ones to me for spare ahahah
Did you change the wiring to a more traditional setup? I remember when you got the tele it had a blend seating, a neck with no tone knob and dark neck string. If so, what are the cap and pot values now? Thanks.
I see different covers for the neck, how they affect the tone if they do so? i’ll put then in a baritone tele, looking forward to hear them in Drop-A tuning!
@RabeaMassaad Would these Tele pickups of yours be good for your general middle of the road classic rock, grunge, & bluesy hard rock also? Zeppelin Aerosmith ZZ Top Guns N Roses etc? Didn’t see much in between in the demo like edge of break up / crunch / etc in the demo. If you could comment back or even do a video on this showing more range of these pickups using more of a standard Marshall JCM 800 / Plexi and other standard heavily used tones & amp sounds outside of your personal kraken ambient 0-100 metal or the typical country blues spank that would be great and very helpful to know if these pickups will work for me and others.
I've been hunting around for a good set of pickups, and it's actually been really hard to find any semi-recent info on pickups for a tele (that's helpful for someone on a bit of a budget at lest). Obviously its YT, so you have to take everything with a grain of salt as far as sound, but these pickups are the best I've heard bar none. Unfortunately, I don't have the budget right now to buy these pickups, and tbh that's probably a good, thing, cause I only have a cheap ass tele rn, and putting pickups as good as these in a $150 guitar seems like a crime. Def gonna keep this on my radar. There's this thinline tele I've been eyeing at Guitar center, so I'll probably spend my money on that first. But now I know what I'm looking for, so maybe I'll be able to find a cheaper temporary alternative untill it makes sense to spend the money on these absolutely gorgeous sounding pickups
Why don't you compare these pickups to others in one video? This video tells us absolutely nothing about the Nomads, it only shows what sound you can get from your rig.
It’s a tone demonstration of the sound of the pickups. Not a comparison. If one likes the sound of these pickups in this video, then the purpose of it was successful surely?
@@RabeaMassaadi can’t resist jumping in here cause I remember a comparison you made for your Strat with the Josephina and the 63 veener and man I’ve been using those 63 ever since. On my tele I have the royal and the special from Lollar and I am not quite sure about them after a year. Would be nice to see the difference. By the way you Archetype plugin is amazing. I have never spent so much time playing since my purchase. 👍
@@RabeaMassaad How can someone know if they like these pickups in your setup if they haven't heard any others? A guitar with these pickups will sound different on any other equipment. Comparison is the only way to show what a guitar/pickup/amplifier sounds like because it maintains the test conditions. P.S. We both know why you didn't do it ;)
Rabea is the Thanos of signature pick-ups
😂
Gotta catch em all
Now I want a signature p90 set 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ZorroTheWevile Came here to say this!

I love them! I think these might be my favourite sounding tele pick ups and it came out of no where.
Hope to see you on TPS demoing this set too, those episodes with you are always pure gold.
Damn there's so much to your playing. It's a perfect blend of technique and feeling. Truly soulful
No shit, I was literally listening to the strat set demo at work earlier this morning and i was thinking about a signature tele set. Congratulations dude, well deserved, might pick up a set if i get any spare change

So you now have three signature sets by BKP. Tele, strat and humbuckers. That is pretty epic. Sounds great, like it's customary with you.
Now we're just waiting on the Bea P90s, the hot rails, the CC single coils, etc... 😂
That speaks volumes about how great and amazing Bea is.
Now put ‘em all in one guitar in a HSS combination.
Bea, this is what you do best: relating the technical aspects of the gear to the sound that you're trying to achieve.
Keep doing this and I will keep coming back for your perspective. I think these pickups sound amazing and I have a tele that needs some new pickups.

That spanky aggressive tone is soo good!
That bridge tone around 9min in is MASSIVE

Sweet sounding tele pickups
There's a really nice acoustic quality to them! 👌
I am going to put these in my chapman ml3 bea standard. I've got plenty of humbuckers but tele is special man ... can't wait to get this set
Just ordered a set. Can’t wait to try em out! It sounds exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Howd they end up workin out for ya?!
@@ayjbray I’m really happy with them. Sounds fantastic both on clean and drive.
@@doruktekin5479 awesome glad to hear! I’m going to be getting a set soon here as well.

Great playing on a very nice sounding Tele, but you should be explicit about the Drop-C tuning, too!
Holy crap…when does the drum channel launch? That was some tight drumming Bea!!!

Would you say these are hotter than what Chapman puts in their ML3 Pro Traditional? These reminded me of your video when you demo'd the ML3.
Now complete the set! Work on a set of P90s too! Hahaha Congrats on the new signature set!
Now I need to get me another Tele just for those Nomads!
Love everything you do man! Absolutely amazing set of hands and ears! Now I need to get another tele 🤣
So cool, and sound great
Man, this intro! 🤟
I'm hoping I can buy the neck pickup on its own, that thing sounds delicious!
feels like desert dusk, amazing vibes
CaliPsych...a.k.a.: Mr Dave
outro with frogleap was epic, this tele sounds jpast pretty, when is the chapman bea coming out would you recomend it
wohoo congrats!!!
i can sorta understand what you meant about the original pu's that where in that guitar. when i play mine, specially the neck can sometimes sound juuust a bit thin. but on the other hand, i love how it cuts through a mix, specially with some kraken gain.
now you can sell your original ones to me for spare ahahah
or yeah not thin but there's a bit top end that bites a tad...
i NEED these for my Tele
flipping awesome!
are those alder or ash body guitar ? Wicked tone as always
Did you change the wiring to a more traditional setup? I remember when you got the tele it had a blend seating, a neck with no tone knob and dark neck string. If so, what are the cap and pot values now? Thanks.
Do you use a treble bleed on the volume pot with these? Or with the Triptychs?
I see different covers for the neck, how they affect the tone if they do so?
i’ll put then in a baritone tele, looking forward to hear them in Drop-A tuning!
Tele bridge pickups are usually 42 guage wire... interesting to hear how little difference that makes to the sound (or at least to me!)
@RabeaMassaad Would these Tele pickups of yours be good for your general middle of the road classic rock, grunge, & bluesy hard rock also? Zeppelin Aerosmith ZZ Top Guns N Roses etc?

We need some kind of post-apocalyptic indie game with you writing the score, it would be the most amazing of journeys
Pretty curious on how the Silo's & the Triptychs/Nomads would sound together in a HSS styled guitar. Has anyone ever tried it?
put them in a strat and make a video for us :D

I’ve been thinking about replacing my Piledrivers with something just a bit less piledrivey. These should be perfect.
Idk those stock pickups sounded insane when you first got that and did the video.
Humbucker, strat, tele, when are the Bea-90s coming?
So basically a modified Twisted Tele set? The tele set are 52's but with a Strat sounding neck. From the sounds here, I'd say they are close 👍
Conspiracy: T-Style Bea Sig. Sterling by MM with these pickups loaded? Count me in!!!
Rabea for president 🏳
I am thinking of putting these in my Fender Player Plus which has the noiseless pickups. Will I lose the noiseless feature with the Nomads?
What heavenly tuning is this?
Do I have to change the pots? Or would you recommend changes volume pot? Or nah let it rip
which string gauge do you use to be able to tune it to c? thanks
17:31 little Township Rebellion, eh?
15:33 StankFaceActivated !
What inspired you to name this set the Nomad, Rabea?
I think I asked something similar about previous sets, so forgive me if I’m repeating myself.
I hate you Bea, every time you come with a new signature thing I feel like I need to empty my savings 🤣
That's his job
@@milkandmeat and that's humour
Heavy music on a Tele. I know he has his signature PRS, but I feel like Myles Kennedy should try this.
More desire to spend money I don't have.
Inb4 a set of signature P90s and a set of mini humbucker sized Silos.
And now I will buy a tele
😂
Glen Frickin Fricker would like a word with you 😂😂
Bea could make any guitar and pickup sound like this 😂😂
I wonder if these would work well for a baritone telecaster. Could be great, or could be too much output/low end. Anyone try this?
First Esquire I've ever seen with a neck pickup.
So why do so many use it in the studio but not live? I mean if that is the sound you're looking for then why isn't the guitar worthy of a live gig?
Are these noiseless ?
Im only here for the Funk ;) ....and Rage?...hell yeah.
The tele easily accepts & adapts to any type of pickup or playing style. Yours are even beefier than Joe Barden dual blades.
What string gauge do you use here for the lower tuning ?
RATM riff...nice
It would have been nice to have a guitar sounding in standard tuning.
Didn't know Bea was a Tele guy? Always saw him doing single stuff with the strat
Soooo... Music Man "Tele" coming soon?
I wonder how much of your sound is derived from the amp, rather than pickups.
Me: Finally lands in a set of Lindy Fralins for my Tele.
Rabea: Hold my beer.
Now I am torn all over again lol.
Ouch..$$ Instant buy!!!!
It sounds like p90 at the bridge position
👍👌
🤘🤘🤘👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I LOVE MY FUCKING TELECASTER!!!!!!!!!! I WILL SAY IT!
well, time to buy another tele.
