DarkHeart Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Today I dropped off my active T-Bird to have a set of passive Ghost Pickups `Dirty Dozen` hand built pickups installed, has anyone heard of Ghost Pickups? Theyre a one man band based in Whitley Bay up her in the good old North East, just wondering if anyone has got any feedback on them, I will update this when I get my bass back in a couple of weeks (would have been next week but we are gigging nearby in 2 weeks so it saves me a trip). His prices are pretty good as well, 2 hand wound humbuckers, 4 pots and fitting for £160 and they have a contrasting veneer top and a 10 year warranty, should be getting pics this week of the build so I will post them on here. I actually can`t wait to try these out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Wilf's a top bloke, and well respected. He rewound the pickup in my '73P recently, and it sounds as smart as a dart. He knows his stuff, and his customer service is spot-on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Sounds like a good deal @DarkHeart. I’ll be interested to read how the new pups turn out for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he seemed a really genuine friendly bloke, he is bringing the bass back to me at a gig in North Shields so my first play of it will be at volume through the Hartke Kilo and i`ll be able to try it against my Quarter Pounder equipped Ibanez Destroyer. Good times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheth Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 One of the guitarists in my current band has had numerous mods done to his pedals through Wilf, seems like a good guy. When I recorded at Nemix, I did get to play a bass with his Dirty Dozen pickups in, which had a chorus built into them somehow. Great sounding pickups, I would love a set at somepoint.

leemarseillebass Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Wilf is an absolute star! Took a faulty pedal, made a friend for life. His pickups do have a sharper/smoother sound than standard ones in the guitars I’ve heard with them installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but it sounded great and you could change the rate/depth etc from the back of the bass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
