Beware of the eBay seller “gibsondependable” Last November I bid on a Duncan P bass active pickup (item no. 401230588669) sold by the seller whose ebay ID is “gibsondependable”, and won it for just $4.25! What a great deal! Even the wiring harness is included! However, I ended up completely...

Which one of the two sounds more like a real P90? Actually I own both so I know how they sound. I just don't know how a real good P90 sounds like. I like the Bluesbucker better than the Dream 90. So I wonder if a real P90 will suit me even better.

You know, there are the Lace Sensor Gold and Fender Lace Sensor Gold pickups. And I found that the price for the non-Fender one is generally a little higher on ebay. So what the difference? Are they manufactured in the same factory? Any tone difference?

Tried a JB on the neck position and I wish it have a little more high frequencies. Going to try a magnet swap but want to stay with A5. So, which magnet will give me more high in a JB? UOA5 or RCA5? Thanks!

I know that "J" on the sticker on the back of old SD humbuckers indicates that they were wounded by our pickup guru MJ. But I have an old Invader 7 (got it around 2003) which has a handwritten "J" on the red sticker on the BOX. Does anyone know what it means? In fact, I don't even know whether...

The following Tele bridge pickups are all supposed to be cloned or modelled after the original Fender Nocaster/Broadcaster: Fender custom shop Nocaster pickup Duncan STL-1b Bare Knuckle Blackguard Flat '50 Don Mare The 0038's Standard But the DC resistance of the Fender and Duncan are 7.3K and...

I know, this is yet another naive question since "best" is subjective. But it seems that when it's down to PAF-style humbucker, many ppl recommend Tom Holmes, while for P-90, Lollar seems hard to beat. So I wonder if there's such a choice for tele pickup (especially the bridge one) ? Also, if...

It seems that the following two Antiquity strat bridge pickups have exactly the same specs. Antiquity II Custom Bridge: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/stratocaster/vintage-output/1102409_08_10_a/ Antiquity Texas Hot Custom Bridge...

Which one sounds more like a real vintage P-90? I'm taking about the P-90 mode of the P-rails of course. Thanks!

Just curious. I'd like to find something to listen, to know what most ppl think a good vintage P-90 pickup should sound like. Please share your favorite list. :naughty: Thanks!

Going to order some magnets. Mostly for modding JB and Custom (SH5). Which length should I order? 2.444 or 2.5 ones? Thanks!

I saw many folks here having fun swapping the magnet and screws of their pickups so I want to do this to mine. Just curious, do you guys wax pot the pups yourself after reassembling? If I don't, will it feedback horribly or there's still some luck that the pups may remain quiet?

Do I have to order via a Duncan dealer or can I email directly to Seymour Duncan custom shop? How much does it generally cost if I simple ask for covers or bobbins with different colors? What if allen-head screws? Thanks!

Anyone tried the Schaller ACTIVE pickups HA I and HA II? Any good?

Looking for a replacement for EMG81 at the BRIDGE position. It's too hot for my taste now, though I play thrash/death metal. The power of a JB is enough for me. But I don't want to mod my guitar to hurt its value, not even just re-soldering. So I have to stick to active pickups. Unfortunately...
