Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

I don't normally have a problem with that attitude, but it still wouldn't hurt to even have the most basic of specs on these.

Read through the many posts leading up to this point and you'll see that discussing specifics about these pickups is frowned upon and your request for "more information" will likely go unanswered until users start getting these in their hands and reporting back with details

This is more of a "close your mouth, cross your fingers and hand over your cash" affair...

I was not aware the specifications were being kept hush-hush, but do we even know if the pickup as originally designed ended up being the neck or bridge position?

All we know is the DC resistance on the prototypes were high 7 low 8 if I recall and the magnets are A2.

Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

This is basically the pickup I've been waiting for... less about the output, more about the actual sound. Looks awesome, sounds great on the demo, incorporates two of my favourite designs and let's face it... who doesn't like the exclusive feel of being part of the SDUGF family where we dream it and they build it?

Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

Anyone planning on pairing up a FUgly Bucker neck with a Crazy 8 bridge? In addition, if one was putting together a HSH guitar the Stra-Bro 90 in the middle would complete the circle.

are there any soundclips with a stra-bro 90 in the middle position

Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

I plan to use mine in the bridge coupled with my favourite PAF-type pickup in the neck. I have high hopes about the sound and I imagine there wouldn't be a significant volume difference from switching.

What's the expected delivery time for the Fuglybucker?

A ballpark figure like a date will suffice.

Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

I think about 3 weeks from now.

Re: Fugly Bucker - Come and Get it

From what I gathered in my short conversation with MJ, they'll start shipping as early as mid December.

Must've encountered delays, earlier in this thread on Oct 15 she said 5 weeks.
