How do "Motherbuckers" Sound?

I've seen two variations of these pickups. I am thinking about ordering some of these. I'd like to know if anyone here has used them and how they sound overall.

I also want to figure out how to wire these up when and if I do get them for maximum options. I am currently playing on an Ibanez SZ320 stock like this one.

I have two tone controls, one volume control and a 3-way selector. I'd like to add a 5-way selector and some 1,000k pots, which I've seen people reccomend on some other forums.

This set comes from Mighty Mite and retail for $40-$80 for a pair (Bridge/Neck) depending on where you buy them from. 21.6k output for the bridge and a 17.98k output for the neck. I've seen some reviews from people that have purchased them and all of them gave these a 10 out of 10 rating.

I found a place selling them for $48 for a set.

Kent Armstrong also has a version of the Motherbucker that is even more high powered than the Mighty Mite version (27.5K), but that one is just a single humbucker with 4 coils and costs $88 on his website.

Here are some reviews. http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data2/Mighty_Mite/Motherbucker-01.html




Any opinions and practical advice before I purchase these "mothers"?

I think these pickups might be too radical for the tone pros on this forum...dunno why i think that tho.

I just got them, but I'm going to have a local tech wire everything up for me because there is a ton of wires. I also want to mod all my swirches and have everything shielded.

28K is insane, i would like to hear what you think if you do use them, they could give alot of options i suppose.

A few have tried them and will certainly comment..... Nothing is too radical, BTW ;)

But wasnt the Motherbucker a Quad Rail design??? Something just seems wrong to me seeing a motherbucker with standard poles... :rolleyes:
