put in P-90s

how does that sound ?

Holy Crap . . . it is indeed doable.

Yea, how does that sound???

Yeah... I know you... Variety is spice of life.


Wow, looks good heh althought it looks a bit 'wrong' in a strat.

I DO like that Gibson Toggle switch though.......

But will probably stick to Seymore Duncans.......

Maybe spend about RM300-400 on the setup....... see first....

DAMN RIGHT!!!.... Fender texas specials.... or fender noiseless pups
well priced and damn bloody good too

dun know much about those hand wired pups..... but heck... if the company can survive with those price tags... it must be pretty damn good

or go wild and install those gretsch TV Jones(something like that) pups.... be the 1st

If Matt Belamy replaced his SDs and Fralins with pups that cost so much, it must be damn good too.

Yeah... with BKPs the artist has to pay for the pups, no freebies. And this includes ppl like Steve Stevens, Dan Hawkins and McFly.

what pickup suit best with ibanez? i heard people say that dimarzio is the best when it comes to ibanez but lots of artist already using it. vai, satriani, gilbert. so what do you guys think the best alternative for ibanez?

depends on what type of tone and sound ur looking for...u can try seymour duncan..

Heck..... you can stick in an EMG and it will still sound good...... if you wanted an EMG sound.........

halo, everdying.
i'm interested in these pickup set.
pm me if it's still available. thanks.

EMG SA? or the pickup set?
EMG SA i was only recommending them.
the pickup set i have to give you a contact in penang who brings mighty mite stuff in.

lookin for info on EMG 40J n 40P5 's for a pup change

wat differenve is J n P?
n how much do they cost??

thx ya

well since you play bass...
i would assume its common knowledge that J stands for jazz, and P for precision
ie. J is the long pickup, P is the stacked side by side pickup.
heck im not a bassist and i know that.

Hey..... still in market for my new pickups for my Crap-strat.

Decided to go with the standard S-S-S pickups..... maybe change the trem as well..... but that's a whole different story.

Can anyone recommend me a good set? Possibly seymour duncan's. Again, this strat is going to be used mostly for classic rock (think Jimi) and maybe some green day style punk too.

erm...

i knew wat they stand for...
i assume i was talkin bout difference of the tone n voicin of these 2 pups
sorry if i cz cofusion...cz i was not statin out my question clearli...

i was tinkin sum might try them b4...
n the price??

the emg website doesnt have soundclips?

as for price, you have to ask bentley cos they bring them in, at a really expensive price.
looking at a price at least RM300-350+ each.

whereas in SG should be about SGD130 each.

im thinkin of a full set consist of

2x 40J
n a preamp BTQ (i tink..wit bass+mid+treble+balance+volume)
how much wud tat cost?

if according to the official website
tat quoted for 1.6k ?!!
tat wud hav brought me another RBX 5 string...
hmmm

Hey guys, thinking of getting a Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II flat pickup set for my crap-strat..... any ideas on the pricing for a set of 3?

Either that or a California 50's SSL-1 set.

Check this out for a selection of original Fender pickups:
http://aampselectricguitarstore.com/fender...kups/index.html

I bought my DiMarzio D-Sonic from them also.

You can pay via paypal at a rate of 3.5 from reputable sellers. Type "sale" in the customer code (at ur shopping cart) for a limited time promotional discount. I would prefer to ship via USPS EMS, its USD30 quoted by them (IIRC). Faster and better peace of mind than the cheapest option. The downside is this store is a little slow in sending out the stuff. Not exactly the cheapest store u can find around, but at least they ship internationally. But they don't have SD's. Good luck.

Well, I was hoping to buy and let 'em install it as well.... because I'm going to do a complete overhaul..... new tuners, new trem, and fix things like the electronics.... I might as well buy it from Bentleys and let 'em do everything.

Hmmmmm...... but maybe might go for Fender's Tex Mex Strat set instead......... judging from the price online....... see first lah......
Will also have to see what Bent's have in stock

i'm thinkin of putting texas special pickups in my tele.

If anyone is going to Bentleys, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check the prices on these pickups please.................

Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II flat pickup set
California 50's SSL-1 pickup set
Fender Tex Mex Strat Pickup set
Fender Hot "Noiseless" Strat Pickup set
Fender Custom '69 Strat Pickup set

cant you just call bentley and ask?
thats what i sometimes do.

I hate talking to their staff. Twice I called, twice I got snooty answer

Perhaps you need to ask a little nicer JK JK...
Few times I called I managed to find out what I wanted.

true, true...they sounded like they don't feel like answering your queries...u guys know where can i get dimarzio's pickups here in malaysia? i've asked bentley, but they say malaysia dun have any distributor for them...

They say don't have coz they don't want you to buy something they don't have. (pun intended)

Anyway, official reseller for DiMarzio in malaysia is La Floresta. Check the shops list for phone numbers and give them a buzz. They don't have everything however.
Woh Fatt also carries a few of them, give them a call.

Best is still buy online IMHO. Can get cheaper than here even with shipping included.

buy online??

how how?? ebay ke??

Look around for online stores that ship internationally. Check out the link i posted above. They also sell dimarzio's and ship internationally.

Hey, have any of you guys heard of GFS pickups?
I read they are good stuff for the money.
Guitarfetish carries them at bargain prices: http://store.guitarfetish.com/pickups.html
heck they cost half as much as dimarzio's and SD's.

EDIT: i emailed them, and yes they ship internationally.

yeah REALLY interested in them too

the vintage 59s

maybe if u pooled together we get to save on shipping

i've never dealt online b4, so hoping someone will buy a set first and tell me about it!

don't look at me haha. i already soldered dimarzio's into my RG and i'm broke now.
buying online shouldn't be a problem though if that's what you're worried about. i've bought stuff online before a few times and you should have no problems provided there are people who have good experience with the particular retailer.

blacktrix wants some pups for his strat so if you can convince of to try these pups perhaps u can group buy with him, and hopefully a couple others here?

yeah i guess.

i could never afford to buy dimarzio's or SDs, so GFS or maybe mighty mite are the best alternatives for me

p/s my biggest worry is that my $300++ stuff gets lost in Malaysian Customs!!

pp/s check this out http://www.mojocaster.com/modules.php?op=m...order=0&thold=0

Hi,

can pm me the mighty mite dealer's contact?

thx a bunch

As far as I know, guitarfetish do not ship to Malaysia.

Don't think I'll go for really expensive pickups..... USD 300 is waaaaay too much for pick-ups in my Crap-Strat

a week back i mailed them:


The reply was:



You can email them again to double check: info@guitarfetish.com



where did u get the USD300 figure? guitar fetish's pickup prices are a bargain!
a SET of strat pickups cost between $45.95 and $67.95.

Interesting, because someone from i-bands e-mailed them some time ago and they say they do not ship to Malaysia.

http://www.i-bands.net/forum/viewtopic.php...er=asc&start=15

They were talking about it here. If they changed the policy then it's cool.

i asked them before, they ship to malaysia via air letter post . eta 10 days.

the most expensive strat pup set is only 67usd, converted here plus shipping only about 350 ringgit i guess.

Oh. *whew*. I thought it was 300USD......

I wouldn't mind going for the Strat "Texas" Alnico Stagger Pickup Set.....

^ tell me if and when u've it! thx

i know nuts about pickups.anyone can lead me to start?

i'll be waiting if you're ordering a bulk.... if you do, I'll get the texas pickups.

And what do you want to know about pickups?

ok dude, should be around jan next yr, cos i'm going to singapore in the next 2 weeks until jan, won't be playing there i guess

u mean this set right? http://store.guitarfetish.com/sttalstpiset.html

Yeah..... that's the one.... But I'm planning to upgrade in October.... so I'll have to go to Bents and see what they have........

EDIT: Man.... got this off the message board........ RIDICULOUS PRICES!!!!!


Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II....At RM275 per pick up...Set means u need 3.

California 50's....Rm620 per set

Fender Tex Mex.....RM550

Hot Noiseless...RM690

Custom 69...RM650

WOW..... that's nearly double..... will have to think about it then......
Who else wants to get in on the bulk???

strat tex-mex ? not the best users' feedback...

i'm trying to install my new pickups... what a freaking mess... i connected my pups in place of the old ones, but two other cables got ripped off their connections in the process and i've no idea to which component I shall connect them back to. And my strat has the craziest wiring around : it doesn't match AT ALL the wiring schematics i found on the Net... i'm lost...
Any wiring Guru around ?

Really? In that case I think I'll settle for the Premium Alnico Pickups.
http://store.guitarfetish.com/pralstpiourb.html

post up your current wiring diagram (meaning what is currently wired or when stock)? maybe evo.com can help... and i'll try to help if i can haha.

Get a guitar tech to do it for you lol. You mean Fralins didn't include the wiring schematics??? Check out their website? Most of the time boutique companies have different colour coding etc... Good luck.
