They could name the set after me! :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: At the moment its my favorite set of Strat pickups.

Re: New Items for the SD catalog
what i would love to see is a hot bucker in the 16k range that is a cross b/t the invader and the JB....the invader has a nice low end chunk which is great but tends to get muddy up top and isn't too great for lead work due to it's lack of high end and articulation. now the JB is great for lead work but tends to lack a good low end punch and can sound thin in some situations. let's take the two and cross breed them to get the "XSSIVE" perhaps (that would be a sweet name IMO hint hint)...imagine the chunk of an invader with the high end bite and articulation of the JB in a hot 16k range....i think we would have one killer pickup. also it would have either rails or regular adjustable poles, not the huge screws of the invader. oh and if you don't want to call it "XSSIVE" (i don't know why not :laugh2: ) i'd say name it something car/hot rod related....the "big daddy" or the "von crunch" or the "big block" perhaps hehehe. that's my thought.
oh and i think it was mentioned but it would be nice to have the strat size rail pickups in creme color for those who want vintage looking guitars with aged knobs, pickups and pickguards but with more modern sounds.

Re: New Items for the SD catalog
id like to see more trembucker spaced pickups. pearly gates, alnico 2, '59 etc. also, nickel and gold covers as options on ANY humbucker regardless of spacing.
actually, a company named shadow already has this. i forget the model but it looks like an EMG with pole pieces but instead of poles theyre eq and volume adjusters. check em out.WITH FULL DISTORTION said:

Re: New Items for the SD catalog
I think Seymour beat you to the punch. He called it a Distortion
The oxide caps are the key to the Invader's tone. Put in anything else, and it sounds totally different. What makes the Invader sound different from the Distortion (aside from the 2 extra magnets) is the caps keeping the magnets & coils further away from the strings.
As far as new products go, how about 7 string pickups available in all different colors, plus a 7 string LW-Hmet.

Re: New Items for the SD catalog
I original meant things SD already makes, but are only available from the custom shop. But since my Forum-Mates are so imaginative (and a little demanding), here is my idea for a new pup:
Two Tele lead pups (one RW/RP) mounted on the same metal plate, or if that's not magnetically possible, two over lapping insulated metal plates, to make a TeleBucker, available in the standard Tele slanted arrangement or the standard humbucker parallel arrangement. With flat poles of course.
And, how about threaded pole pieces on single coils that could be adjusted to any radius or custom staggered pole design. Although I don't think the tops should be slotted. Perhaps a special wrench could be used to adjust the height. It could slide over the pole and hook into a single groove on the side of the pole.
What do you think, Sirs?

Re: New Items for the SD catalog
Since we're all talking about new ideas for pups, I've got one. How's about a replcement set for the G&L large rectangular MFD pickups! That would be nifty, right?
Also, little off subject, I'd like to see a CD of BASS pickups samples. I know I've bitched about this already. I've found guitar pup sample websites and CDs all OVER the place. Not a whole lot of people do that for bass, and for goodness sake, the Duncan folks SHOULD!! It'd be way more convenient for me than driving 40 minutes into the city to get to Bass Northwest!! :blackeye:

Re: New Items for the SD catalog
the distortion i found to be too thin, (i tried it in 2 guitars both different woods) that's why i said mix the sounds of a JB and the low end of the invader. also, the invader without the oxide caps actually isn't bad at all (there was a post about that a while back) if you change to regular poles on it it actually picks up a bit of articulation up top where the oxide caps seem to make it get a bit sloppy for lead work. but a tad bit more high end edge to it would help also...thus my origional idea.

Re: New Items for the SD catalog
While sitting here messing with my tapped QP's, I realized that all the tapped pups are tapped at the 50% point. I'd love to see a version of the QP, (or any "tapped" pup), tapped at the 66% point, but use the present halfway point as the reference point.
In other words, approx. 7k tapped, 10.5k full-on. Sort of, a QP "lite". It wouldn't be quite so drastic a change from the tapped position to full-on.
At least one pup of this design would be cool.
