Chrome Humbuckers for LP carcasses

godofthunder · September 28, 2011, 02:13:08 PM

The HOG bought up some Lp basses with no hardware and now they want to put hardware on them to sell. Any sources for Humbucking size pickups ? The only think I can think of is Fralin, and I don't know if they are making them anymore.

LOL Model Gs of course, They are not available new any longer. Cut me some slack, I took 5 stitches to my head yesterday I'm still not thinking straight.

Not from a bass you threw in the air I hope?

Naw not bass related.

Love to try these- They used to sell the same pickup marked with a B as a bass version, but really are the same. Dimarzio's hottest pickup.

Yeah I gotta try one of those!

I have my 92 LP carcass waiting for some attention eventually. I bought a set of the so-called TP plus LP style bass pups awhile back for it. They'll go really nicely. Doesn't SD or EMG make bass pups that fit an LP style ring?

You're a lucky man.

Yeah, Scott has a a way with slightly vintage birds!

This with all due respect

and best regards to Frau Dasson who hopefully still believes you that you are buying all these extra-basses not for yourself but for some crazy German collector!!!

+1 on the Pit bulls. Nice pups for the money, I've used a few of them and they are good pups.

When I was looking for pups for my Hamer 12 string, I asked DiMarzio about the X2NB. Steve's reply was that I should use a pair of neck position D-Activator X pups. Similar to the X2N, but much better suited for bass. They sound great to me! Quite similar to a TB+.
