Re: Get Yer Custom Shop Crazy 8!!!

Interesting how so many people are wondering now how it will sound, while so many were completely hung up on the specs.

lol ... didn't see this coming at all!!! :rolleyes:

That said, I think it will be a great pickup for my No.1 Strat, and I will definitely get one.
 
Re: Get Yer Custom Shop Crazy 8!!!

Ok, first off. Everybody go to the first page of this thread and read. Most of the questions asked are in the first post!

Two, nobody knows what it's going to sound like 'cause its never been done before.

thank you.
 
Re: Get Yer Custom Shop Crazy 8!!!

they should be able to estimate what itd sound like based on the wind/magnet though, right? id just have a really hard time spending $115 on something i have no idea what it sounds like.
 
Re: Get Yer Custom Shop Crazy 8!!!

I'd like to chime in. Questions that come to mind:
4) Can we get it with a matched neck hum bucker (if we get the bridge hum bucker version) at around 7k-ish?

Currently, the only PA Humbucker designed for the neck slot is the PATB1 Neck model. Fortunately for you, that comes in at 7.5 K. I imagine it would work just fine with the Crazy 8 and you could always swap out the magnet if you wanted it to have an A8 like the Crazy 8.

+1

Surely, someone can qualify the tone in some regard.
 
Re: Get Yer Custom Shop Crazy 8!!!

Will it fit in a semi-hollow Ibie?

Will it scream too much in that axe?
 
Re: Get Yer Custom Shop Crazy 8!!!

Wow... a committee designed pickup.

Wow... look at the herd members that want it.

Good thing I'm a maverick.

I fully expect that everyone that gets one will be proclaiming it's virtues.

Uh... before you condemn me for being negative - have you heard it yet? Or are you just willing to pay to go along to get along?

I'm not gonna condemn you bro. I just can't imagine the SD pup that would have a bad tone. True, it may not be my tone...but I can't imagine one having a bad tone.

Honestly, I've heard so many great things about the PA poles that I'm really looking forward to mine! Get that order form out there Evan! :D

I haven't heard a bad Duncan yet, I just had to buy 19 electric to match the pups I have. I'll have to custom order for this pup......got it all planned out

...oh yeah, I feel no need to defend my choice to buy this pup.

Nothing about the pickup itself, but I absolutely love your condescending tone... I guess you're that much better than the rest of us "herd" members, but not good enough to do something else with your time than condemn an entire forum for getting excited about being able to design our own pickup. Way to go maverick, you've really stuck it to all of us, I'll be sure to watch out for you on the harmony central forums so I don't accidentally get my ass demolished by your scathing comments.
 
Re: Get Yer Custom Shop Crazy 8!!!

We only know some specs, there is much more to a pickup then magnet and resisence. Of course we can look at those characteristics for an idea, but there are so many possibilities after that it's hard to say.

PLUS...people are saying why would you buy it if you can't try it (worded more like why should I spend this money when I don't know what it's goign to sound like)?? um...how many pickups have you tried in YOUR guitar before you bought them? Every guitar is different and thats the chance you take with changing out pickups.

So you knew exactly what your Duncans were going to sound like in your guitar before you bought them eh? Hypocrite.
