My Twangbanger's here!!

[stevie_bees]

I'm really excited as my Twangbanger arrived safe and sound today! I was a little concerned after reading some of the posts here about people being scammed. The pickup was originally on ebay here in the UK, while I was trying to sell my Strat. I needed the funds for any purchase, so was unable to bid on it. I contacted him via email to ask if he was going to relist and he said he probably would but to let him know if I was still interested. A week later I sold my guitar and emailed to say I'd like the pickup. All of the deal was done privately. I didn't think much about it, until I saw some of the problems other people had.

The contact with the guy has been superb and there have been no hiccups and I am the proud owner of a Twangbanger. It restores your faith and trust in humanity a little. Can't wait to fit it. I'll let you know how it goes! :dance:

There's a difference in the caliber of people on Ebay, compared to the ones who list things on unregulated sites. It always makes me nervous doing a transaction outside of Ebay's auction, through Emails, but normally those sellers are on the up.

Will do. I'm fitting it this evening, along with a new set of Schaller locking tuners, and carrying out some sheilding of the pickup route. Looks like a busy evening!

Great pickup, my fave Strat single coil in the bridge by a huge margin.

I have a Red Velvet Dimarzio currently in the bridge of my strat.

I'm a little dissapointed in the beefiness factor. Its tele-like, but I'd say the ratio is more 75% strat, 25% tele...its still pretty shrill at times.

I'd be curious to hear how the twangbanger sounds in my guitar.

The Dimarzio Blue Velvets in my neck and mid are great, but a little "polite" sounding, if that makes any sense.

interesting,
red velvet uses alnico5 and twangbaner uses alnico2. both have a bottem plate, of course. I hope twangbanger is smoother sounding.
