I've not used either of the two pickups [/quote]


So just out of curiosity, what do you use ??

K & K Rockabilly Plus.

It's a wing and neck pickup attached to a stereo jack. A stereo cable runs to a small pre-amp from which you can send the blended pickup signal to a single amp or split the signal to two amps/pa channels

I've had no trouble at all with mine, but they are a bit fiddly to set up as some adjustments can only be done internally. I've also heard several people commentins about poor battery life on the pre-amp, but mine usually last 6 months, so I'm happy.

I've had mine for a good few years and quite a number of new p/ups are available now. If I need a replacement, I'll probably get an Underwood as I've heard few of them now and they put out a nice tone (to my ear anyhow)

Cheers....when I get some cash I will look into an Underwood.....Im after a deep thudding bass sound (if that makes any sense to anyone but me )
