New 8 string pickups

Zoltta · 03-15-2008, 03:49 PM

Yeah ive never really done anything with pickups myself because id be too scared to fuck everything up...

But at the same time i dont know how much the tech charge for this. Probably not too much more than standard swaps i assume?

should be the same price. some places charge a few extra bucks to switch active vs passive, since they need to put in new pots, but other than that the same

And Lundgrens are $200 each.

Actually a pair of BareKnuckles 8s will cost you ~$383 direct to your door at current exchange rates. That's 220GBP - 17.5% VAT that we don't have to pay + 7.95GBP shipping = 189.45GBP

Also note that Zimbloth is now a BKP dealer and can get you a better price than that if you contact him.

Hmm Lundgrens it is then i guess. I dont really mind paying that much for pickups as long as they are fucking destructive. Besides i have nothing to blow my cash on besides guns and ammo anyway rofl. Oh wait im saving up for a car too but fuck it. Thanks for the tips dudes

Well shit its also a matter of the size difference. Not exactly how bad it would look with Lundgrens haha but im sure i can fork up some makeshift crap

Compare those to Lundgrens? I hear they are better, i hear they are not. But either way i think the housing will an issue dont you think? Its the reason why i didnt get Lundgrens in my 607

^Check out Dendro's 2228. He installed a Lundgren in there with a custom pickup ring.

Nordstrand would probably make you a direct replacement pickup if you went thru one of their dealers as well.
