Just fitted a black set of Tonerider Rocksong pups and I'm bowled over yet again! Replaced my EMG 81 & 85's just for the hell of it, time for a change. Nice balance, rich tone, alnico 2 magnets, great price!
You just can't argue with the classic designs!
I'm a Tonerider fan too. I've got some insider info that the whole Tonerider operation is on its way back to the UK (where they started before moving to China for cheaper manufacturing costs) and that pickups are getting new boxes, are going to be re-marketed etc. So it looks like this little known company is going to become a much bigger player and methinks that prices will no doubt increase too.
Got me thinking. This is how they start the whole collectors thing, by changing the packaging. Then once the classic yellow boxes are all gone people are going to seek them out only because they represent the original Toneriders.
Anyway, got nothing better to do today than scheming about stuff. ?
