Pickup audio sample updates??

[Quicksilver689]

Hoping frankfalbo and anyone else from the SD crew will read this...

Does anyone know if audio samples for more SD pu's are coming anytime soon? For example, I'm potentially interested in acquiring a Hot Vintage(N)/Classic(M)/Hot(B) combo of Stack Plus pu's, but I'm having a tough time trying to find audio/video clips of them to get a basic idea of how they sound.

Just thought I'd ask...thanks for reading!

They're probably not coming too soon since they should do ALL of them again in order to make the comparisons accurate.

Quite awhile ago, there were huge debates on sound clips- SD's official stance was not to put *any* up online at all. Every other pickup maker did, but SD didn't. They finally caved after a lot of pressure from this very forum- but from what I remember, it is a pretty big undertaking to record.
To be accurate, you'd have to use the same guitar, and play the same thing over and over. I am all for it. Sound clips are an essential marketing tool.

I know there is a tremendous amount of work involved, but they should really do those samples again and keep the recording setup intact for later pickup additions to the line. Too many new pickups since the last sound samples and it's getting hard to compare new/old because the recording quality seems to go downwards as time passes by.
