7 string Baseplates - where to buy some?

[jonsick]

So I'm experimenting with a few 7 string pickups once my orders have all arrived. They're going into a Jackson Broderick Pro. However, I don't want to modify each one the same way as it's slightly destructive. Namely the mounting ears need to be triangled-off and being direct-mount pickups, the holes need to be enlarged.

Rather than doing it to each pickup, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a couple of baseplates that I could whack on each pickup I want to try and not destroy the stock ones? Other than buying some cheapy import 7 string pickups off ebay for as cheap as I can get them and hoping for the best, anyone know?

Also, just to ask, there's no potential issues I could run into with this, is there? As far as I know, it's a screw on/screw off job?

The only problem I can see (other than being careful with the fragile wires) is that some wax will have to be removed to get the coils off of the base plates. Usually, with potted pickups, the wax is sticking the coils to the metal (in addition to the screws).

Mojotone used to offer 7-string baseplates.
