21st. Century Pickup Man

Naw......Just simple chat Possum. You know I was bustin you balls about the PMS thing......You should know my humor. I have however been very busy too, trying to set up a perchased bridgeport, S. grinder, and am actually buying and waiting on material. As I am realizing my bad habits of trying to put everything together at once, sometimes is'nt best. Especially with tooling, something I'm not a natural at. I can't help getting extreamly pissed at the shody shit that is outthere, and the material that still exists regardless of everyone bitching about them. All this time, and I'm closing in on 3 parts. I am still on the hunt for the perfect pieces to replicate......the Search never ends...

cool....

I admit I can be a grouchy old fart, so oh well I can be an ass. The one guy in this fucked up business who does things right is Tom Holmes. His pickups sound pretty good, the only ones I've heard are on YouTube and they were good but I like what I've done alot better. But he's got his reputation, doesn't hurt to have worked for Fender and made all those contacts all those years, his pickups are all his own parts, I sure would love to see inside his shop one day. Yeah all we fucking get is the crap thats left over from big offshore companies cranking out tons of bad cheap pickups, with which we do our magic. You can definitely make superior sounding pickups with this stuff but it just irks me as well to look at some newbie's crap "PAF" on Ebay using the same parts I use and how the fuck do you tell your customer your product is superior when they both look the same? I'm really sick of the same color creme bobbin everywhere you look :-) When you look at a Holmes pickup the baseplate is awesome and stamped with his logo, his screws are great, his pickups are better than the big guys, in Japan his pickups sell for ridiculous prices because they are reliably good sounding and polished professional looking. There isn't a week that goes by I don't think about quitting and just make pickups for myself. Oh, well but then I can't write off the toys or buy more toys and screw with different winders etc. Insane........

If anything, I have been nothing short of blessed to get some great gear, and some ok cash. I really am trying to take it to the next level cash wise. You know me, as it seems Im now ruling the metal world with an Iron Fist, and will stay catering to this crowd. This is my nitch. This is where I belong.
The part issue is depressing, ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE BUYS 150,000 BOBBINS, AND BYS ALL THE BASEPLATES!! LOL.

Well you wanted to know who those evil people are who are buying up all the stuff so us little fucks can't get anything, you heard it here from the sources :-)

Foot in Mouth! Thats alright, things are on the horizon.....I can see the light(hard to believe!). I thought DOCTOR X was going to explode with some parts too? I plan on making MY parts, and running small orders for those who are in the need and Extreamly Cool to know.....you know who you are. Of coarse this will only be after I send dome sample pieces. Honestly, the baseplates are hard as fuck to get perfect. I am going off of the TTop, and adjusting the "h.hole" based on Info from an extreamly reliable source. I should be sending some private massages with pictures in the next few weeks. Fucking photobucket!!!Man.
Is there a way to insert pictures in P.M's without using Photobucket?
