Anyone Have A Bridge Position SSL 5?

I'm really wanting another SSL 5 Custom Stagger pickup for one of my strats and was wondering if someone has one they'd sell me? E Bay has them for $50 w/free shipping,but a used cheaper one would be great!

That pup should be rich in forum bro mojo. It used to be mine. Maybe I can come and visit it. :)

Edit: On second thought, that may not be mine. I believe I traded a neck version to Garrett.

Oh very cool Artie! I used to own a complete SSL6 set that I sold to a forum member(Can't remember who now)? :laugh2:

I Like the SSL5/6 alot and I guess it's a great in between of the Twangbanger and the SSL3? I think the SSL3 "might" be a bit too much for me and that I Might lose some note articulation?

Thats hard for me to say, John, because our playing situations are so different. You play "live" with some good tube stuff, while I'm a bedroom-wanker with SS and "studio" stuff.

When we meet for the show, I may just bring my whole Strat to let you play with for awhile.

Actually the amp I use when our band plays out,is my Vox Valvetronix head into a 2x12 Vox V30 cab or my Marshall V30 4x12 depending on where we play.....Just 2 12AX7s in this amp,but I Love it's versatility and it does get pretty convincing tones..

I'm lefty as you know and won't be able to play your righty axe....:yell:

Older picture but notice the Vox head and my Marshall 4x12 cab behind me...

Dang . . . I keep forgetting. :blackeye:

No problem though. Its pretty easy to pop that thing out. I'll just bring it along.

It's 2 wires and I just either place a 2x4 under about the 12th fret or higher after loosening all the strings,or I just remove the strings from the vintage Kluson tuners and the guard is off very quickly..Takes me longer to re-string and re-tune! :laugh2:

I really do need to try that SSL3 out though! Curly loves it and alot of members use it also.

I'll bring it. ;)

Edit: I just thought of something. The show isn't for 3-4 weeks. I could pop it in the mail, and then get it back at the show. Just a thought.
