kevham Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Used my Aerodyne Jazz on a gig at the weekend and I noticed my D and G strings were very quiet so I decided to take a look at wiring. Found a loose wire and that the P pickup has been replaced at some point with a Wizard 'Thumper'. Anybody ever heard of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Yes indeed. A lot of love on here for those. The guy behind them retired but they are now manufactured down near me by Eternal Guitars. They are a hotter version of a vintage Precision pickup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevham Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 The jazz pickup has also been replaced with a Wizard '84'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 You’ve had some good fortune there, the stock Aerodyne pickups were ok but Wizards are in a much different league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Bit crap that someone sold you a bass without informing you that it was modded. Was it a seller on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they weren't aware that it was upgraded. Si 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Still - someone at some point modded it and never informed the next owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a seller on here? Almost certainly unaware. This bass is nearly 20 years old - probably been through many owners and mods get lost in the mists of time.

Rumple Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I have a PJ set in my fretless, very nice indeed, as mentioned above there's a lot of love for their pickups on BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloney Balderdash Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Yes, these pickups were original made by a guy named Bumbledork, however he died in bar brawl fighting an evil evil man named Waldomard, that started because Waldomard tried to kill Bumbledork's apprentice Perry Nutter, after having spiked his drink with LSD, who now makes the pickups.
