Birthday sale! 7-string single and hb's

frank falbo · 06-29-2006, 12:51 PM

I got the standard happy birthday message from ss.org, and it reminded me that I like coming here and it's been awhile. So here I am.

I can sell one of my custom 7-string single coils. Drew has one. It's very vintage strat sounding, in contrast to the harsher Blaze single. I'd have to get about $75 for this one.

I also have a new stock Ibanez V7-7 V8-7 set. They're new with the plastic still on them. Is $55 shipped fair? Most of you guys are after pro tones, so I don't imagine anyone fighting over these, but they're here if you want them.

1.) Happy Birthday dude, and welcome back!

2.) That 7-string single I've been using does, in fact, kick ass. It's much more sparkle-y and "alive" than the blaze it replaced.

I may be interested, does it come in white, or is that not a possibility?

frank falbo · 06-29-2006, 10:10 PM

Not today. This is just a straight-up sale of a black one I have here right now.

I use Dimarzio bobbins, all which were black so far. I can do one from any white Dimarzio bobbin, but I'm not really looking to take on a wind job right now. And it's not an efficient process. You need a donor humbucker. So you blow $40-$60 on a humbucker just to get the bobbins you need for two single coils. That's without the Alnico rod magnets, and before your labor even begins. No one is selling a 7-string bobbin, and it's even more work to make them from fiber. (which still limits you to black anyway) The Dimarzio bobbins are perfectly sized.

All pickups sold or accounted for! Here's the new deal:

To ANYONE who wants a WHITE 7-STRING SINGLE COIL: If you provide me with a white Dimarzio humbucker, I'll be glad to make you the single coil for $35USD if I can keep the other bobbin for another single.

Scott · 07-05-2006, 01:55 PM

hm... I have a white neck blaze pickup that won't be getting used. Does it matter if it's a neck humbucker?

frank falbo · 07-05-2006, 02:06 PM

Nope, not at all.

Scott · 07-05-2006, 02:08 PM

Cool, let's do that then. What's the turn around time on this procedure?

frank falbo · 07-05-2006, 02:09 PM

Six years.

No seriously we'll talk off the forum via email or pm about if you want it to sound like Drew's, or a little different, etc. and then a week or two after I get the pup I should send your single back.

Scott · 07-05-2006, 02:12 PM

I can't even remember what Drew's sounded like. I guess he's gonna have to dig up that thread for me
