I bought a whole Peter Cook for less than that... (okay, it was '77... ;D)

I always thought it was nice of Mr Cook to put the posts in the right place... good luck with the sales... ;)

Just realized I bought one of the original Badbirds and never installed it. But the picture above with all it's shinieness makes me want to buy one. Hopeless.

I had one of those in the neck-slot of my PC for some time but it was viciously microphonic - now long gone - Al has one in his recovered EB, along with an MB

Yessir, yessir I do.

I'm thinking a pair of Model 1's would give a nice rough sound.

The Neck pickup is a 64-ish mudbucker from this forum...the Model 1 was in it when I got it.  And the bar bridge intonates just fine, thankyewverramuch.  The controls are vol/vol, because no one in his right mind needs a tone control to reduce highs on this pickup set.
