Members tlbonehead Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have a set of Bryan's P90s and a set of Minis that he re-wound for me. Very nice stuff for not much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ju5t1n20 Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I don't own any of Bryan's pups, but the ones I have heard sounded great. Great price for great pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalone Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have one in my Jackson RR24 and I love it, I have used tons of different pups DiMarzios ,Duncan,BareKnucles[love them] and these rank up as one of my favorites You can go to my bands page and hear it thru a 6505+ on our demos http://www.reverbnation.com/thoughtofredemption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Yeah, they are awesome pickups at great prices with lifetime warranty. Only downside is the wait time, if you care about that type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phrophus Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I dig the hellabucker, for sure. I can't really speak for any of the other BG's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peavey_impact Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 The Hellabucker is my favorite rock/metal pickup ever.....and I have tried a {censored} load lol. I also have a trio of custom vintage blade BG single coils and I'm using the mid and neck models in my Starfield....they are just orgasmic..... In a big slab oh mahogany the Hellabucker is just super huge and thick, with no harsh top end. Pretty damned tight, too. When split it sounds a bit like a really hot tele bridge pickup Before I settled on the Hellabucker in this guitar I have had Dimarzio Slammer, Duncan Distortion, GFS Crunchy Rail, EMG 81, and EMG 85. Hellabucker pwns them all for my taste/style. I have a bunch of clips I can post if you are interested.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crimson on pink Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Had him wind me a custom h90 about 5 yrs back. Love it as much now as I did when it was first installed. Was gonna go with a bareknuckle mississippi queen, but took a chance with bg. Soooo glad I did. Can't gush enough about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ej Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I've had a hellabucker in my main guitar for 5 years. I've had tons of pickups and guitars, its just perfect for my rock and.metal tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sinnerx96 Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 It's a really cool pickup. It is huge sounding. Very beefy and fat. Has a chunky rhythm sound, but can have a great smooth lead sound. It still cuts without any fizz or annoying high frequencies.I don't think it would be my first choice on a guitar that was sounding tubby. It probably wont tighten it up. It's overall very broad and smooth. There's no spikiness to it. Very even response. So, it can sound a little boring and bland sometimes.Nice pickup. I hope he does some more higher output pickups. I'd try them, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheIgnoramus Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have a couple of Hellabuckers. Fantastic pickups. I'm always on the hunt for those that pop up used (which is not often). As mentioned above, the wait time is, well, a long wait. I found myself buying other used sets while waiting for the new set to be wound. Pair it with the Lizard neck pickup and you've got a killer set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Oh yeah...that {censored}ing lizard neck pickup is something special, for sure!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stormin1155 Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have a set of Bryan's Phatties in one of my strats. Great pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trailsofsin Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 The cool thing about Bryan is you can basically tell him what you're looking for and he can wind you something custom. Awesome sounding pups regardless of price, but for the price they're a ridiculous bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members K-Bizzle Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Best bridge pup I've ever had.Love mine. I've been through many pups in my Eclipse and I liked most of them I always had some gripe of some kind.The Hellabucker is absolutely awesome in every way. Nothing I'd change about it honestly.This pup and my Eclipse will probably always be what I play for my main sound. Really don't see that ever changing.

Members NaturalBornBoy Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 So which DiMarzio and Duncan pup does the Hellabucker sound most similar to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 So which DiMarzio and Duncan pup does the Hellabucker sound most similar to? Actually, its fairly similar to the breed in that it has TONS of clarity and a very balanced tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NaturalBornBoy Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Actually, its fairly similar to the breed in that it has TONS of clarity and a very balanced tone. But much higher output I take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 But much higher output I take it? Output is just a TAD higher, maybe 1k at most, than the breed...breed is rated at 16.5, so is the hellabucker. EDIT: Breed says 16.32, HB says 16.5-17k EDIT: And they both use alnico 5 magnets.

Is that DC resistance? I thought the lower the figure means the higher the output? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sinnerx96 Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 So which DiMarzio and Duncan pup does the Hellabucker sound most similar to? It can maybe be considered similar to a duncan Distortion with clearer mids, softer around the edges, less sizzly, and a little broader sounding. I think it shares some characteristics with an Anderson H2+ as well, but the highs are not as glassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madryan Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 I had his Humbucker sized P-90's and they're great. Sold the guitar they were in but they were stellar pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
