The RW pickups are a little bigger than the stock ones I had so I had to make a little more room under the scratchplate but nothing drastic. Haven't had a proper chance to check out how they sound but from a quick test they sound good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Nice! How do they compare to the originals? I imagine they're quite a bit warmer/have more thump to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Thanks Yea definitely more thump to them and that was even evident plugged into my Fender Mini Tone Master which really is a mini guitar amp. For various reasons I can't properly play at the moment so when I'm all good to play again I'll describe a bit more about how they sound!

basshead56 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Is that a new pg as well? Have you totally removed the tone pot with everything all the way up? It looks mean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the concern, luckily it isn't anything really serious, I've had another tattoo done on my right forearm so I can't play with out it rubbing on the body and probably a little more serious I burnt my thumb and index finger on the soldering iron which hurts if I put any pressure on them....woops. Thanks the scratchplate is the same, but the tone control is technically still connected it's just under the scratchplate, I wasn't sure what I would need to unsolder so I thought it would be best just to leave it underneath, yea the tone is up to max!

MarkG3 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 So managed to test these bad boys out today. Sounds really good! The strings I've got on there are Ernie Balls and they are about three years old and with the stock pickups you could tell they were old strings as to me they just were a bit lifeless and had just a generic kinda sound. I've still got the same strings on them and would say the treble is smoother than the stock ones and packs a nice punch. Plus it looks good too! Really happy with them it's a shame they weren't a straight swap but I didn't mind making room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 steve Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm sure they sound awesome through your gallien Kruger rig. I assume you took the bass to Aylesbury music for one of their legendary setups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
