Bare Knuckle Pickups Aftermath 6 Set Black Battleworn Nickel Screw

Aftermath: a Bare Knuckle benchmark for low tunings

The Bare Knuckle Pickups Aftermath 6 Set is designed for guitarists seeking total control in the low end without sacrificing impact. In this Black Battleworn finish with nickel screws, it combines an aggressive look with an immediate sonic identity: tight, modern, and crafted to remain perfectly clear when gain and saturation rise.

Who it's for and suitable styles

This set targets musicians who play loud, fast, and low: djent, progressive metal, metalcore, thrash, death, hardcore, nu-metal, and muscular hard rock. It excels on solid body guitars, heavily down-tuned instruments, and any setup requiring enhanced low-end control and increased midrange presence without muddiness or loss in the mix.

Responsiveness, sustain, and wiring options

At the bridge, the Aftermath features a dual-screw design with hand-wound symmetrical coils and relies on 3 custom-sized ceramic magnets. The result: accelerated low-end response, extremely sensitive to attack, ideal for choppy rhythms and razor-sharp precision in alternate picking. The intense, focused mids deliver the necessary "punch," while the highs remain precise and articulated.

With a more compressed dynamic, leads benefit from generous sustain : notes "cut through" clearly even under extreme gain levels. At the neck, the Aftermath humbucker powered by Alnico V provides thicker, more powerful tones, smooth sustain with a vocal character when pushed, while maintaining excellent balance with the bridge pickup. The 4-conductor wiring allows access to series, parallel (always noise-free), and coil-split configurations, covering everything from massive riffing to sharper, snappier textures.
