B/H Round Table & Misc

Did you ever try just flipping the radiused blades so the flat side faces up?

My problem is that I don't have much experience using ceramics so I don't know if It's the 43 gauge wire or the ceramic magnet or a combination of both.... or what.

No I didn't try that.
I thought they cost too much to have to alter, I just make my own blades.
You will have to just make a bunch of different winds to find what you like.
I bet you will figure it out.
I did the 44 SPN, that was what I liked best, on the bridge.
I like the low winds for the neck and middle.
Maybe others will jump in and tell what they like.

I may have an Amp kit to build, for a friend.
That should keep me busy, if I do!

I picked up a set of My Humbuckers with polished nickel covers, that were on consignment in a guitar shop.
They were there maybe a year, they ended up in the bottom of a display case out of site and out of mind.
I picked them up and brought them home, cause no-one was looking at them because they were not visible.
I took the covers off and checked them out and recharged the magents, cause I wasn't even sure what magnets were in them.
Put the covers back on as low and tight as I could get. Then lightly repotted them with the covers on for a few minutes.
The Neck is 7.25k, and the bridge is 9.75k, a bit overwound. These both have 4 wire hookup wire. Wound with 42SPN.
I tested them in a test SG type guitar last night on my JCM800 Clone.
Wow, IMO These two pickups sounded as good as anything I've heard in a while.
So, long story short, I think the price may have gone up!

I read a lot about pickups sounds, but can you post sound samples with a spec of the amp configuration? I would like to hear those babies ...

I'll leave the demos for you Pros.

Wasn't really Trying, but They SOLD Yesterday!
Moral of the story, I should picked them up from the music store sooner.

What projects do you have going?

I think that a guitarist really needs to play pickups himself to judge their sound and response so sound samples aren't necessarily that useful- I would place more credence on your evaluation of them.

Some winders offer a free "redo" within 30 days like if the customer thinks that the pickup is too hot or not hot enough- or whatever. That does cost the winder money but it should be factored into the sell price.

P.S. Do you think that your post here had anything to do with the sale of the pickups? Had I read your post earlier I might have wanted to buy them myself.

I emailed a friend customer, that I had them and he bought them sight unseen, trusting what I told him.
I apologize if my posts look like I was advertising, I wasn't.
I was surprised twice.
I was surprised how good they sounded.
Then I was surprised again how fast I sold them.
I'm really phasing down quite a bit.
I'm retired, and don't want to do to much.
Next I'm going to try to reduce my stock in loaded Strat Pickguards.
I may be listing some of them in the Flea Market area.
So, Last week I traded some stuff for a wah pedal, this week I got rid of the NickelBuckers.
Who knows what is in store for next week.

So could those be similar to 50% winds of a dimebucker??

OH good
I thought (just for a second ) Nickelback endorsed your pickups......

I wish!
I like nickelback.
Saw them on cable a while back.
There is still some pretty good rock and roll , if you weed thru the Rap, and Crap!

Beginner/Hobbyist, I love It.
Don't know when we got the Sub-Forum Name Change, but I Dig it.
That pretty much describes my Winding, a little bit Beginner, and a little bit Hobbyist!

It's nice; it removes the connotation that people who discuss here don't know a thing. Will probably encourage more discussion.
