Customising Bare Knuckle Pickups
All Bare Knuckle pickups are available in various formats, all of which can be special-ordered from Andertons. Unless otherwise stated, web listings are for standard configuration humbuckers. These are 50mm standard spacing (i.e. for a fixed-bridge single-cutaway style guitar such as Gibson® Les Paul® guitars), 4 conductor wiring, short-leg humbuckers. Should you require a 53mm spaced humbucker (for guitars fitted with a trem), 2 conductor wiring, long legs, and/or a different coloured cover, you will need to special-order this pickup by phone or in the shop. Full details of Bare Knuckle Pickup options are available from www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk.
Here's what Bare Knuckle say about Geoff Whitehorn 'Crawler' Pickups
'Tone AND power - all I've ever wanted!' Geoff Whitehorn
Geoff's brief for his signature humbucker set was simple; he wanted it to cover all his classic tones from Crawler through to present day. As one of the UKs most respected session players and long time Procol Harum guitarist, Geoff also wanted more power than back in the day and the pickups had to work equally well in both LP and Strat style guitars to match the demands of his playing.
The Crawler humbucker has a rich, fat, mid range with sweet highs that clean up beautifully and also produce bright split coil tones that retain plenty of output. Bass response is full and warm with excellent detail and the hot wind produces a smooth, natural sustain that really sings through a pushed amp.
Although Geoff wanted contemporary power from the bridge, the Crawler neck humbucker is voiced like a vintage PAF, open and vowel-like, with a calibrated wind to balance in output.
