Saw these on Reverb this AM. Update to the packaging? New Version of the Slash pickups? Fakes?

Just saw this come up on Reverb From Darren Riley’s.

Hey forum members, quick question. I just bought a set of Saturday night specials used on reverb and I noticed the bridge has a roughcast magnet, and the neck has a polished mag. I'm wondering if someone swapped out the bridge magnet, of course the seller isn't responding to my question. No...

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the Lil-59 neck model is brighter than the SSL-6 in the neck slot. I've currently got an SSL-6 in the neck of my HSS strat (Alder/Maple). I'm running a 500k volume pot and 250k tone pots. The SSL-6 is not too bright with the 500k volume (...

Hello all, I was wondering which side of the mini humbuckers (lil 59, jb Jr. , etc) remains active when using a coil split with the standard wiring (red and white to ground)? The side the cable exits on, or the other side? Thanks for any help you can give!

Re: Fender's aged white covers Here is a double cream Duncan 78 and fender aged white coexisting. To my eyes the bareknuckle cream looks lighter than the Duncan, at least in photos, I've never seen one in real life!

Ok folks, some of you may remember my previous post having trouble getting my Little 59 to play nice and hum cancel in position 2 in Auto Split mode with my APS-2 RW/RP middle(The coil would split but it wasn't hum cancelling), so I had an HSS pickguard laying around and decided to throw a...

Re: Lil 59 hum in position 1 when using auto split. And it should be like this... but with the rear tone control tied to the bridge.

Re: Lil 59 hum in position 1 when using auto split. So I wired it like this but with the red and white connected to the 2nd lug on the same lug as the bridge tone pot. I'm guessing that's the issue, I need to move the tone hookups to the lugs on the other side directly with the pickups lead...

So I put a Lil 59 in the bridge slot of a pickguard I had built with a RW/RP aps-2 in the middle and regular Aps 2 in the neck. The wiring is your standard strat 5 way with 1 Vol and 2 tones. Problem is: the Lil59 has full on 60cycle hum like a single coil when I have the red and white wires...

Anyone set up their Lil 59 to auto split in a strat in switch position 2? Does it even approximate the quack you get with a single coil in the bridge and middle? I'm building a pickguard with aps-2 for the middle and neck and trying to decide on the bridge pickup. I had the Lil 59 in a...

Can any of you tell me if the Alt8 is a double thick mag like the Distortion, or regular thickness like everything else??

I've got a USA Charvel San Dimas with a single direct mount Trembucker (currently a Jb with UOA5), but really I'd like something a little more open sounding that might have some decent cleans. The body is alder, maple neck, rosewood board, it's on the darker end of the spectrum (maybe bass...

I was glad to see the updated readings on the new developmental site confirm what my ears told me had to be true, there was no way the WLH set was 25% lower powered than the 59's. Having had 59's, PG's, slash set, BB 1 & 3 and Dimarzio 36ths in the same guitar over the last few Years, the WLH...

And to be honest I'm not too impressed. The bass is tighter yes, it has a little more punch yes, but the aggressive mids are gone, the highs are sort of brittle, and it's kinda lost its mojo and the the incredible in between tones that Zenmindbeginner so eloquently spoke of are not the same...
