Hi to all!!
I was wondering if any of you has any experience with the UK company Catswhisker??

In the past I had good experiences with Swineshead pickups, another UK handwinder, but that company is not active anymore unfortunately. Even if the design of the Swineshead pups was somewhat awkward, they did sound the deal, and were available in tons of color options, at very acceptable prices, so it's a shame they are not in business any more.

Aside from Catwhisker, I would also appreciate any feedback on the other UK-based handwinders (except Bare Knuckle Pickups), such as Oil City, Mojo, Bulldog, Gemini, etc...

Thanks in advance for any input on the newer UK handwinders!!!

I have a set of his mini hums that i installed in my JA-90. Sounds much better for my style than the stock high gain p90s but i cannot really compare them with other mini hums as those are my first. It sounds magnificent in full humbucking and split mode (the tone tone pots are push-pull) - and it is what i expected, a nice bright and airier humbucking sound. I have to comment on the service though, as, per my request, custom adapters for p90 mounting were included with the order. That's what i call first class service ;)
All in all, i am very pleased and would gladly try again in the future. Also, the price was right (don't know about today as i got them 3 years ago)

His 72 Classic humbuckers are the most kick ass classic rock humbucker I have heard. (I haven't heard an SNS though.)

I can also recommend the Creamery wholeheartedly - i have two of his sets, a Wide Range rewind set that i put in my mexican 72 deluxe and a set of Firebird pickups (a5, reflector plate) that I put in my 2016 Firebird T. Both sets are amazing and would definitely buy again ;)

Haven't tried OX4 but they are also on my list
