So I'm looking at this diagram, as I want to replace the EMGs loaded in my guitar now with a BMP-1, but this is confusing the Heck out of me! Like, the neck volume and tone are just floating if I'm looking at that right; They're not connect to the BMP-1 pot in any way. How the heck are they...

The loomis bridge blackout WILL NOT fit. I even had an aftermaket ring, and it doesn't fit. Is this a known thing, or did I get a mutant pickup that's machined incorrectly - the neck p'up fits just fine btw. And these are pickup rings that fit standard blackouts and EMGs just fine - they're not...

Got it, wired it in, and it's really weak output-wise, but the sunuvabeotch says it's rated for almost 24k DCR... so did I wire it up wrong, or is it actually a low-output neck pickup? If I did actually totally overshoot the output expectation, what would be a good match for an alder bodied...

I have this mockingbird special in alpine white with black hardware. Very eye catching, to say the least. Have been dilberating what pickup or pickups to swap into it for months. My initial thought was a set of black winters, because, it's white, it's a theme, thought it was clever. Bought a...

Thread title says it all. I'm not sure where I came across them, but when did these happen, and what do they sound like? They've got hex-screws like full-shreds, and that's all I know as far as being different from regular BWs. I'm intrigued, but I can't find much more on them.

I'm in my local MI shop, and trying to get the guy to order me in a Pegasus 6 string f-spaced, and it's disappeared from the website. If it's still there, it's hidden really well because we both tried to find it and couldn't. He's got standard 6 spacing as a sku# in his system, but was looking...

OK, for sale I have a brand new, still in package set of 7 string blackouts phase I's for $140 a 7 string SD Custom, and 7 string SD Full shred, both also brand new in package, looking for $70 each A used JB in trem spacing, and one in standard spacing, would like to see $50 each if I could...

It's recommended for brighter instruments, but I'm wondering what it would sound like in a Les Paul styled guitar. Is it too warm/dark/muddy in a guitar like that? Thoughts/opinions please. :1:

I really like all three of these pickups, but lean towards the Pegasus in the bridge just because it's a little more all-purpose. It was about a year or so into the Black Winter 6 string model's production before they made 7 string version production models, so anybody have any thoughts on when...

I just picked up a mockingbird GoldTop all mahogany with a maple cap (basically made to mimic a Les Paul) and the dude put a Custom in and did the alnico VIII mod to it, and I must say it is incredible! Just had to post this to gush a little. Frickin' love this pickup! amazing recorded tone and...

So 12 days later I get the replacement bmp1 preamp to replace the one that was clipping hard when I hit the strings with ANY significant force. The verdict? NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE. There was indeed something defective/damaged with the preamp that was originally installed. The punch and...

Re: BMP-1 Clipping regardless of Pickup Installed Here's the cavity (the neck tone pot has two cap equaling .044uf since the kit didn't come with a spare .045uf cap; he improvised) otherwise looks right to me.

Hi Forum. I just recently had a bmp-1 modular preamp installed in my Pro-X mockingbird. No matter what SD p'ups I use (all of them are pretty high in output mind you) they clip the preamp. So far I've tried a JB, a Custom, a Custom Custom, and now Black Winters, and regardless of how low they...
