These are just what I wanted and are a clear (haha.) winner for me so far. I'm gunna get some of my respectable friends to try them out for some corroboration and to make sure I'm not being mental, but I honestly can't fault these things at all. I've achieved some of my best tight high gain sounds, literally best, I've never gotten tones like this before, the 8th is so deep and powerful, leads sing, cleans are just amazing.

People have told me they love BKP for the clarity but I didn't feel that from them, I think I know the effect people are referring to but by comparison the X-Bars eat them up for sheer definition. From cleans to high gain patches the detial and clarity and balance on every note is outstanding. Actually, not using a lot of compression and letting the front end low-pass the signal a little as many amps (and Axe FX 2 amp models :lol takes the edge off and produces, as I say, a very lively, really fresh, clear sound.Д¬larity in fact is a really importanrt point. If I plug it straight into a really boosted sound then it does start to shine through a little bit but it doesn't sound shrill or at all like a single coil, it just adds a LOT of detail to your fretting and picking hands, you hear every move either hand makes. The low end is very clean and precise and not overbearing, the mids are very natural and present and again not spiky or overbearing, the high end is the unique thing about these pickups and much to my surprise it isn't really scratchy or single coil like as some have pointed out. They're much lower output that my DA8's and even notably quieter than the Ionizers. The X-Bars by comparison felt very fresh and very lively. I think a lot of pickup manufacturers try to put a lot of low end into 8 string pickups with some belief that lower range means you want more bass and that to me normally adds up to a slightly laboured pick attack and a wobbly low end that can be tightened up using boosts but always gives the sound a sort of *plonk* to the pick. The X-Bars are the first pickups I've put in an 8 string that have taken away that slightly heavy-handedness that 8 strings can have, and that slightly hollow sound a lot of the pickups produce. Having gone from the Aftermaths to the D-Activators and seeing the subtle changes there - a little more attack, a little more mid range - then from the D-Activator to the Ionizer, with a little less power and attack and a lot more low end body but a very similar overal sound in the mix, and a subtle change in feel. I have to say I was really blown away by them, almost instantly. I installed them not really knowing what to expect to be honest but was really looking forward to something a little different. People told me the X-Bar was similar but in humbucker form, everyone refers to them being very Hi-Fi and 'wet' sounding with a very high high end. They have a slightly out-of-the-ordinary feel and a very unique - though potentially very adaptable, usable - sound. I was really looking forward to trying these out because I have the Aluma-90's in another guitar and those are a little unusual, I can understand why some people don't have the patience for them despite me liking them a lot. The science behind the system maximizes the amount of force being applied to the muscles, allowing muscle fatigue to happen quicker.So today I received the next installation of my big pickup test (which I haven't started yet), so just thought I'd post my first impressions and clear a few things up. One set is all you need with the X3 Bar Elite. How many sets should I complete with the X3? If you are unable to complete 15, go to a lower resistance band.Д¦. How many repetitions per set should I do with the X3 Bar?ДЎ5- 40 reps per set. The Ground Plate also provides the user with a wider base to loop the bands, providing better support underneath the feet.ДҐ.

The Ground Plate allows users to anchor the bands for workouts such as squats, deadlifts, and curls. The bar takes the pressure off of the wrists and ankles. The resistance bands have a lot of tension, which can cause damage to the joints if used solely. Why do I need the bar, canвЂ™t I just use the resistance bands? Other resistance bands are made of petroleum-based material and arenвЂ™t able to handle that type of force, limiting the intensity of the workout.ДЈ. The X3 bands are designed with layered latex to withstand the force of over 500 lbs allowing for higher intensity in workouts. What is the difference between X3 Bands and other resistance bands? This also helps to limit the impact on the joints.Дў. With the X3 Bar system, the resistance varies, with less resistance during the userвЂ™s weaker reps and more with stronger, fuller ones.

The weight of the free weight doesnвЂ™t change unless you grab a different weight. Why is the X3 more effective than free weights?
