Re: Raiding the parts bin
MORE STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since LHS asked me to for that X2N, I figured I'd go ahead and just post pics of all of them with a meter. At least you KNOW the sound should come out, right?:laugh2:
Dimarzio Super D. It comes with the short angled ring because I already have a box full of rings that I'll probably sell on ebay for 3 dollars. I don't know why somebody pulled off the original cloth tape nor do I know why that same person put electrical tape back on instead, but I do know it looks like crap. However, it still sounds just like it should. Looks like the legs were drilled out and adapters are on there. I actually wish I knew where the hell to get those...
$40
X2N Power Plus. Again, this is one of the old ones with the nickel silver baseplate that eats the new ones for dinner. Angry, angry pickup that actually is very articulate.
$75
Matsumoku MMK45. The solder on the leg is from an old bridge ground. The sound is powerful and bright. The bass is tight and the mids are present but not overbearing. It's a cool pickup. I'd recommend it as a neck against something powerful in the bridge, like a Super D or X2N (hint, hint).
$35.
Gibson 57 Classic Plus. I don't know for sure why the cover's been off, nor do I know why the sticker's gone. I imagine it was because somebody added the cover later and maybe the sticker fell off. I dunno. I DO know it sounds like a Classic Plus and that all the construction details are exactly the same as the other 57 Classic, right down to the tool marks on the legs. It's got a little wear on the bass side of the cover from the right hand.
$50.
Gibson 57 Classic...yep. That's what it is. Buttery smooth and vintagey.
$55.
Dean Flathead bridge. Alnico 2, 12 screw poles. This is actually my favorite pup in their lineup but I've got no home for it. It's comparable in power to the 57 but brighter. These are all wound right down in Tampa, Florida.
$30.
Dean Nostalgia bridge. Poor man's 59, essentially. A5 production PAF clone. It can do just about anything...just like the 59.
$30.
Dimarzio Super D F-spaced. It's been repotted.
$45.
SD Screamin Demon. I'm letting it go cheap because somebody direct mounted it then soldered the wrong size nuts on the back and it's currently got proper sized nuts epoxied ON TOP of the big ones. That and it's got about 3 inches of lead left before those ghetto extensions and electrical tape around it.
$35.
Dimarzio Super Distortion T. It really does sound like a Super Distortion-very thick and very powerful YET with a bit of hair up top. The previous owner of my Charvel was nice enough to put all the stuff in the case with it SO it comes with the box, paper, and springs.
$45.
I don't know WTF this thing is but it meters, it's got Super D style poles and a MASSIVE ceramic. $10...$5 if you buy something else and I can combine shipping.
