A man after my own heart! I just installed the BB in my R7 and am quite impressed so far. I would say that it has prominent mids, nice chimey top end and solid but not farty low end. It is very rich and complex sounding and seems to have slightly less output than the Wagner Filmore that it replaced and has a similar tone though a bit tighter overall. It matches with the Filmore neck quite well, though I had to lower the neck even more and raise the BB to balance out the output. This pup is a sure winner for SD, imho. This pup is a keeper, but I'll have to spend some more time with it in the R7 to figure out whether or not to put the Filmore Bridge back in and save the BB for another guitar. But rest assured, this is a kickass pup! Great job MJ!!!!!

Wasn't that the original reason for this firestorm? Many were saying this is the pickup that should already be in production. Only time will tell, and based by the reviews, hopefully that may come true. :fingersx:

Maybe this bad boy will end up having to go into production!

Re: Brobucker Comes to Life! Lotsa pics!
I installed mine tonight in my LP Goldtop....Brobucker bridge/ Jazz B in neck position. It's really a great sounding pickup for blues to classic metal, since it's like a 59B with more guts and mids with more character.
It's crisp clear and punchy for cleans, and the frequencies all sound nice and natural for clean to pushed clean.
With varying shades of gain, it has a sweet and tight PAF sound that reminds me instantly of AC/DC and Black Sabbath, and the dunaged magnet seems to really give the pickup a more vintage sound underneath the fairly hot wind.
On high gain, the pickup has a nice brutal sound that compresses just right, but there's a crunchy edge that makes all the notes ring out clear.
On hotter pickups, heavy palm muted riffs seem to lose their cut, because of the compression on the low notes, but on the Brobucker, it will still sound heavy, but there's clarity that has a nice character.
I'll try and do some clips of it soon, since it's late at night, and I'm just getting my first overall impression. I've been playing it pretty loud until now, and it's just a really good toned hot A5 PAF.

I still haven't got mine either.
Sounds like a great pup, Joe how does the aged A5 compare to an A2? I was planning on switching magnets, but if this sounds pretty amazing......
I wonder if SD would send another pup into production with an aged mag that isn't and antiquity?
Also was the cover soldered on?
