I like it because it has a really neutral look. Almost looks like a cheapie pickup on those 100 dollar guitars. But I'm sure as soon as you plug it in, it will make anybody go WOAH!

I'd love to try it, but I don't really like dark-sounding pickups.

The all studs look is cool.

And I thought the madness would stop with the Slug...

The "Abigail" trembucker looks interesting too. Thick ceramic mag, hybrid coils, at 13.08k. Wonder what the coils are based on?

Is that Latin? :33:

 

[Inflames626]

Silly question probably but, is it possible to wire a guitar humbucker with 4 coils? Like 2 p bass pickups combined into a square?

I think Bartolini does this for sure on their soapbar bass pickups and maybe their much rarer guitar pickups.

If so, I'd like to see SD try their hand at 4 coil humbuckers.

"Volume four on" made me think of this.

For me these new pickups sound great for 60s-70s Sabbath inspired stuff where you're breaking a clean up into distortion as opposed to trying to do Vivaldi licks.

With so much preamp gain, I just don't know why I'd need that much DCR, but it's fun to see new things tried.

This looks awesome, I don't need it but I want it.

Doesn't it kinda seem like white bobbin versions of the "blackened black winter" should have a different name? Whitened White Christmas? The Dyatlov Pass?

"The Dyatlov Pass?"

Now there's an obscure reference.

"The Dyatlov Pass?"

Now there's an obscure reference.

Obscure, mysterious, cold, brutal.

Disappear into the snowblinded fury of the Dyatlov Pass. Make your guitar scream the barely heard screams of your companions as they fall into the abyss. The deep low end of a bottomless crevasse. Ferocious attack, like the frenzied impact of your climbing pick, hacking at the ice in desperation. Juicy, firm midrange like the flesh of your companions, consumed for sustenance before your final doomed foray into the void. Dyatlov Pass. Also available in green and pink through the Reverb shop.

They're so black, they are white again. That's the definition of "None more black."

It's more of a "Mach" piece

There's even a D-Tar Acoustic Preamp on there! I used to have one many years ago.

I used to think Invaders or X2N's only really worked into those late 70's or early 80's amp that had so little gain and low-end, but many people get cool tones from them into Rectos or 5150's. This is no Invader, but that's the closest I can think of to compare that I have experience with.

I like high output pickups, personally, even if I use a modern-ish amp or a digital model of it. My 500T and Black Winter are so hot, I have to use an actual hardware overdrive before my HX Stomp so that I pre-clip the signal in a nice musical way, because even if I engage the pad on the HX Stomp, the 500T destroys its input. I'd rather have the signal be clipped and compressed from something that's supposed to clip and compress and not from the input of the HX digitally clipping.

just ordered a mama bear! wish i had gotten one when they came out but they had some nos for $250. i love acoustic guitar, and hate plugging it in. hoping this helps rectify that issue

as far as the two pbass/four coil pups. sure you could do that if there was a reason to. not gonna be cheap though

 

[Mincer]

The Mama Bear was fantastic, I had just sold the guitar I used it with. It was solidly built and sort of heavy, and it really made normal piezo systems sound a lot better.

 

[jeremy]

happy to hear that. i tried one years ago and liked it so hoping, as we come into winter, that this will help me not loathe my acoustic gigs as much

I wound up going to an acoustic that doesn't sound good unplugged but sound fantastic plugged in (Godin Multiac).

i have too many guitars already. martins, gibsons, hofners, guilds, taylors... i just want em to sound as good plugged in close to they sound unplugged

That's always the issue, isn't it? Great pickup systems can sometimes cost the same as the guitar.
