In this video we're comparing two PAF style pickups from Bare Knuckle Pickups - The Mule vs PolyPaf. I generally play grunge and alt rock so running them through a few of my go to riffs to see how they compare. I'm using my Seth Baccus Nautilus in this one - Seth recommended the PolyPafs to me so I'm interested to see which ones I'll keep in this guitar!

3 Tone Scenarios;
CLEAN - Amp not ultra clean but just on edge of breakup
LIGHT OD - Light boost from a TS style circuit (FLB Treasure Chest)
DIRTY - Distorted tone using FLB 1991
Exact same amp and pedal settings throughout. New strings fitted for each pickup type. Enjoy!
