    Exclamation I think we need another custom pickup...

    Something with some 80's sizzle...

    The Brobucker and the Crazy 8 are awesome, and I'd like to try another...

    Anyone interested?

    What's our first step?

    I'm thinking something with Full Shred cosmetics, about 12K, and the over-sized 3 ceramic layout...

    I would buy 3-5 sets of them in a heartbeat, if they are totally 80s!

    ...This guy could easily get conned into buying a "totally 80s" Ford Tempo and drinking exclusively mummified cans of New Coke.

    ...btw, NOBODY ever considered wanting a single coil?

    (I have avatars and sigs turned off. Do you?)

    That would be great, it should have mad output and 80's vibe, like SH-6 and DiMarzio Super Distortion Hybrid.

    I like everything but the mag. The A-3 is pretty dark so I would go with another A8 pickup here.
    With the A-8 in that wind and those poles this one would be well ballanced and sweet but should still ROCK!! It would be more open, brighter, less compressed and more versitile than the Crazy 8 was but more agressive than the Shread with the same tightness. I think this set up would be a home run for shreadding high gain use!!

    Sirion, you're an effing pervert who does nothing to contribute to this forum. Go away, and do something worthwhile with your life, because this is just low and disgusting - not only talking about this very thread - all your posts point in one direction, and that ain't pretty. Yes, you know perfectly well what I'm talking about, so don't pretend anything else. Grow up.

    For the magnet, I meant a Three Ceramic arrangement like the invader, not A3.

    I'll PM Evan on this...

    a new pup would be cool but the current design you guys are talking about is not for me. also, it might be too soon after the crazy 8 for another forum bucker.

    can always cross your fingers though

    The Spandex Bucker
    That is one mofo idea !
    Slightly customized, hotter version of Full Shred should earn that name.

    I figure it never hurts to ask... Although it might be too close to Christmas...

    If it's green lighted, we can figure out all the details and stuff and get it rolling in February...

    ****, this idea has me salivating! A high octane, super articulate ultimate shred-bucker would absolutely rule!!!! I think using an A8 mag would be sweet.....just as tight but more organic than ceramic


    What type of EQ voicing do you cats hear??
