The Trading Post / WTB Air Norton F, True Velvet middle, PG-13 neck
« on: July 18, 2022, 05:36:16 PM »
Hello all,
It has been awhile, but that is just because I had been content.  No longer!!

As the title says, I am looking to buy 3 pickups:
Air Norton F spaced (DP193F)
True Velvet middle (DP175S)
PG-13 Neck (DP242)

I know what they cost new and I am willing to pay a reasonable price + shipping for used.
Let me know if you are interested.

Thx for sharing your experience.  That helps!

HTF,
Thanks for the reply.  The Bluesbucker might be headed in the right direction.

The Pre-B1 has a sonic profile of B6 M6.5 T6.5.
The Bluesbucker is B4.5 M5.5 T6 and is the ball park.

I think that the HFH would be too bright looking at the sonic profile.

Have you owned all three of those pups (Pre-B1, HFH, and Bluebucker) to describe your experience?

The Pickup Place / Dimarzio HB that sounds the most like a Pre-B1?
« on: July 09, 2019, 11:35:34 PM »
Looking for pickup suggestions from people who have some experience with a pre-B1 and a variety of Dimarzio HB's.

The reason for the search:
I have an Alder/Maple tele that has a pre-B1 in the bridge.  They sound fantastic together. 
I have another alder/maple guitar (let's call it the "Orange Guitar", since it is orange) with a 36th Anniversary Neck in the bridge position and I find myself wanting a bridge sound similar sound to the pre-B1 in the bridge. 

I am also hoping for a humbucker with a good solid split coil sound.  I would be happy to have either the split sound or the humbucking sound be very similar to the Pre-B1.  I can see advantages of going either way.  Looking for suggestions on Dimarzio HB's that would fit the bill.

What I like about the pre-B1: very solid lows and mids with still enough treble to cut through (plenty of muscle, yet still has clarity without being too bitey), very responsive to picking dynamics.

Clarifiers:
1. I know that a single coil and a humbucker will have inherent, unavoidable sonic differences due to the physics behind their designs.
2. I'm not interested in just putting a pre-B1 in the Orange Guitar because it is routed for a humbucker and I don't like the looks of those HB to single cover plates.

The Trading Post / WTB: Pre-B1 and Twang King/True Velvet Net set

Hello all,
It has been awhile.  I thought I was out of the pickup game.  Foolish me.

So, want to take my tele back to what it was before, but better, so looking for another Pre-B1 for the bridge and a Twang King or a True Velvet for the neck. 
Only thing is I don't want a gold cover on the TK/TV neck.

Let me know if you have either or both and are willing to let them go.
