About the forum pickup polls....a personal note...

Re: About the forum pickup polls....a personal note...

I would love to see a CS 3 single set for strat, but that would probably be really expensive any way you cut it...
 
Re: About the forum pickup polls....a personal note...

My thought, FWIW, is maybe to make such a pickup available 3 to 4 times a year, BUT...with each new pickup, the choices for type and spec of pickup each time is fairly narrow.

In other words, this time it's a Strat bridge pu, next time it's a P90, then it's a vintage-output bridge bucker, then a medium to hot Tele bridge, etc., etc. This way each time you'd have more agreement and a clearer winner.

This is a great idea.

That way you all get a custom shop pickup at a special price and Mike gets to keep his sanity.
Mike has had his sanity long enough - it's time for him to join the rest of the inmates. :D

I'm probably in this regardless of what gets built. It's not like I have more pups laying around than guitars to put them in.....oh wait.

But as long as there is still discussion I'm going to throw in my two cents worth.
 
Re: About the forum pickup polls....a personal note...

My 2 cents.

Mike, Thanks for taking the reigns! I appreciate your doing it! People get pissy and by taking the lead, you , unfortunately, will be the scapegoat so to speak.
People, PLEASE.... :soapbox: As was said before, this is a great opportunity.. Not many companies will let this happen. Lets work together, and see what we can create. If it isnt your cup of tea, don't buy it, but still enjoy and appreciate having a voice in the creation... Plus, if we work together and do this properly, maybe it'll happen again. BUT, I assure you this opportunity wont be granted again if we bicker like children, and disrespect each other or the company.
Enjoy ride, appreciate having the chance to design a product, being part of history, being allowed to have a voice in a major company, and as a bonus, in a company we are obviously very passionate about.

Thanks to Seymour, Evan, MJ and anyone else that should be thanked for thinking enough of me, (a customer) to allow me to use this great forum, for allowing me to have a say so in designing a cool new pickup, and offering us a deal on them.. YOU ROCK!

Guys and gals remember, The C5 was born of input from the forum. The Brobucker is one of the BEST sounding pups Ive ever played .. I Cant wait to see whats next!
 
Re: About the forum pickup polls....a personal note...

Yeah, man. Ponder this ...

Ok, we have already decided ~13.5 k right? A8 Magnet right? AND Parallel Axis poles (well it's leading with 53 votes)? there is no way in hell that that many people would be voting for that style of pole unless they were on board with this awesome (theoretically) design. I can't wait to hear how this puppy sounds.

Thanks again, Mike, for taking the reigns on this one.
 
Re: About the forum pickup polls....a personal note...

Hey mike, shall I remove the other polls?

If you think the pickup thing is hard, try babysitting the Sound Room for a month.................

you can can all the old polls i guess, no need to keep them around we know what won. as for being a mod, bring it on man i will step up as a mod any day and whip these guys into shape lol. i told Evan a while back i'd help out any time he wants it! i was a mod on a honda forum about 7 years ago (when they were cool lol) and i had to deal with a much crazier bunch of guys then these. i just deleted stuff left and right and changed peoples posts too...now that's fun!! when someone makes an out of line post and you change it all to say things like "i love kittens" it messes with peoples heads lol.


aynway on the pickup subject.

the next poll #5 WILL be...

~13.5k A8 PA bucker, vs EVH '78, vs RTM, vs Iommi, vs El Diablo, vs Super V

it will be up later tonight.

yes i'm going to skip ahead a bit but i have a feeling one of the other buckers will win out over the new A8 design. if not then we will finalize the A8.

oh yeah and FYI parallel axis pickups can ONLY be had in BLACK so there will be no color poll if that wins and there is NO point in a poll for 4 cond vs single cond with a parallel axis A8 bucker...4 cond it will be so it's pretty much done as is.

-Mike
 
Re: About the forum pickup polls....a personal note...

Thanks Mike, as much of a roller coaster this was, this A8 has taken shape and sounds cool. I may vote A8 over an Iommi which was close to what I was hoping for originally.
 
Re: About the forum pickup polls....a personal note...

i own an iommi and it ROCKS....HARD!!! i LOVE THAT THING!

-Mike
 
Re: About the forum pickup polls....a personal note...

Mike,

You rock man!

Duncan Co. rules. This forum special thingy is really something very cool.

I may not be in this run (13K paralel axis thing is not appealing to me) but anyways it's really cool.

PS. Maybe we should get a hotter EVH! :headbang:
