Following the nice magnet info above I bought another 2 sets of Tonerider Rocksongs, one zebra and one black bobbin set. I must say zebra style looks pretty cool on a white scratchplate. Both sets are installed into Frankenstein strats. However I replaced the Alnico IV magnets in the one set with ceramic magnets and I'm quite surprised with the difference in tone.

The modded set is in a guitar with an alder body and rosewood on maple fretboard and sounds very clear and a lot more chimey than the DiMarzios that were in there (they're NOT for sale now! ?) I like them a lot better than the DiMarzios.
The un-modded Rocksong set were installed into a Frankenstein with a maple board and a ash body combo - Lovely as they come, warm and chimey too. Bridge humbucker is awesome in this guitar. Nice output, blends well with the SD Vintage Stack in the middle, same with the neck humbucker (took it down a bit for a better balance) - Awesome combo!

Get them while you still can folks. I have seen whats left on the shelf! ?

Hmmmm, go & check the Generator prices now! R200.00 ?
Can they possibly go any cheaper?

For the folks in the know, which of the bridge pickups will go best with the Generator neck, if it's installed in the bridge?

Jumped on a Rocksong and Alnico IV at that price too. Thanks for the heads up. Just waiting for Andre's reply. Don't even have a guitar to stick 'em in yet (got plans though ? ) but at R500 for a set I thought I better get them while they're available.

Following some pickup soldering and testing last night I have come to this conclusion. Don't put a Generator neck into the bridge position of an Epi Les Paul! ?
It's just too treble for the bridge position! There is almost no pickup that will sound balanced with it.
I have a Generator Neck with a chrome cover in a HSS Strat that sounds amazing, but I just cannot make it sound good in my Epi Les Paul. The closest to an acceptable balance was when I had two of them in the same guitar at different heights, with the neck turned in quite far.

Anyway, just thought I'd tell you, what with me waffling on further up! ?

There are some ways to balance them out ?

I received a Gen set instead of a A4 set, so we might be able to figure something out for you if you want? Just contacted Andre.

Got mine in the post today. So quick and easy ?

Yea, got my set of Rocksongs yesterday. My Dad and my brother will have a go at installing them this weekend in the V! ?
Andre's the Man!

Will do brother, you too! ?

Thanks for this thread guys!

Got a set of Rocksongs good and safely packaged on Friday, installed the weekend and guess what - they sound amazing in a Epi 335! What a difference these pickups make. It's a major upgrade! I cannot believe these things go so cheaply! And I don't mean "cheap" in a derogatory way!

+1000

Got the last black rocksong set! ?

Hi there, does he still sell the pickups? Can someone maybe send me a number or email? Ive looked at the site and its only a logo would love to get a set for myself.

Thanks

Nope. Seems like they're all sold then. There were very few left. Which ones were you looking for?

bah figures! Well single coil something like duncan ssl2 or DiMarzio area 58 or well toneriders safari set or classic blues even. I can get the duncans from bothners Im just not to keen loading a R1k squier with R2.4k worth pickups so was looking for an alternative.

I have. The pickups in my tele are from them and I love it. I bought the Pro Series stuff (Marketed as their best) and I'm happy with what I got. I may be tempted to throw a Broadcaster pickup in there a little down the line but at the moment I'm head over heels for my Tele ?

You can get better pickups for less money. Hot or vintage output?

Well I'd prefer vintage maybe hot bridge. Was looking at the GFS "Premium II" Alnico II, Hand Bevelled Strat Set
