I recently purchased a R8 with the Throbak pickups. I've heard quite a lot about these on other forums I frequent. I must say these are very good sounding. Very good sustain and rich in harmonic overtones. I would have never tried them, had they not already been in the guitar I purchased, due to the price of admission. However, I may pony up to for a set in my R7, which now houses my Antiquities.
When I first bought the Ants, I immediately upgraded the magnets to rough cast full strength A2's. Inspired by the DT-102's, I recently put an UOA5 in the bridge. Very happy with the results. But to me the Throbaks do have a little more going on with the harmonic content. I know the build qualities are very similar in both sets. Has anyone tried both sets in the same guitar?
They guy I bought the guitar from thinks the Throbak's were a little better. He's the same guy I purchased the Ant's from, they were in the same R8. However, he only had the original degaussed mags to compare with.
