Nice humbuckers for a blues guitar?

Spicy Lauren · 14-03-2008 01:30PM #1

Thinking of changing the humbucker picksup on the aul' Ibanez cos i think the original ones sound a bit 'cheap'.

It's the Artcore AS73 model and I'm loving the feedback I get off it.

The dirtier the better. Maybe a 'vintage' kind of sound.
Recommendations?

Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge position and Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck position. Tried and tested formula!

Even Seymour himself recommends this pair.

You can buy both together in a pack even!

Even better! I'm a lazy MF and couldn't be bothered looking anywhere else. :pac:

Spicy Lauren · 14-03-2008 04:03PM

I never bought stuff off ebay.
What will happen once I click on 'commit to buy'?

Doctor J · 14-03-2008 04:08PM

You pay them through Paypal and they post you the pickups. I bought that set from Siglers before, they were deadly to deal with and that €93 includes your postage too

'Congratulations, the item is yours'

Thanks lads, i can't wait to get them! Ebay virgin no more and I get a great set of new PUs out of it!

Kiss kiss!

actually, i have a question.
How do I replace the damn things. Is it difficult? Do i need other tools than just a couple of screw drivers?

Doctor J · 14-03-2008 04:39PM

You'll need that soldering iron you were going to borrow for the pedal

Spicy Lauren · 14-03-2008 04:41PM

****e i found out the drummer doesnt have one...

Doctor J · 14-03-2008 04:47PM

You can get em for about €20 in Atlantic or just get a guitar shop to do it for you.

Spicy Lauren · 14-03-2008 04:50PM

Spicy Lauren · 01-04-2008 04:06PM

STUNG:pac:
Yes you have to pay unfortunately,

Spicy Lauren · 23-04-2008 04:14PM

fukcsake!
i wasnt expecting that!

Dord · 23-04-2008 05:30PM

Ouch!

Yeah, you gotta pay the man!

Just out of interest, what company shipped it (usps, dhl, fedex, ups....??)

Johnny Storm · 23-04-2008 05:34PM

FWIW if they cost 93 incl shipping, then 40 seems pretty high for VAT and duty ?
(unless they're using the new maths:D)

feylya · 23-04-2008 05:42PM

If it was FedEx, they charge a €15 "handling fee" or something like that. Bit ridiculous really.

UPS do the same. :mad:

That's why me loves USPS, or EMS. <B

Doctor J · 24-04-2008 08:05AM

Ah crap, sorry to hear that Lauren. If you ever get the choice ship with USPS. I didn't get hit when I ordered that set from Sigler.

Spicy Lauren · 24-04-2008 09:41AM

It was FedEx. Charged me 37 quid VAT.
Not to worry, I know for next time. It still comes out cheaper than buying in Ireland!!
