Crash Pickups

My good friend has a pickup company called Crash Magnetic Transducers. This week they introduced their first bass pickups for Precision and Jazz and they sound really REALLY good!

Everything is 100% handmade in an old lace factory in Nottingham. Even down to the coil winding machine thing.

Take a look at http://www.crashpickups.com if you want more info than I'm capable of giving.

Just ordered a set of these, extremely helpful guy is Mark. Interestingly he is selling the Sweetbass variety of precision pickups to those interested, they're just not available directly through the site.

They're supposedly a more vintage voiced affair than the Saltbass. Hand made just down the road, what could be better?!

Well, I'd have loved to have put a review of these up already but unfortunately they arrived non-functioning in late December and after sending them back all has gone a bit quiet.
Last I heard they were going to be rewound and sent back to me within a few days, that was a couple of weeks ago.

I'm getting to the point where I'm wondering if anything can sound good enough to justify a nearly 3 month wait, hand-made or not.

Wish I'd just bought the Spb-1's now and saved myself a load of bother and 30 quid.

When/if they do turn up I'll try to be objective and post a thorough review.
