joeystrange Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 My good friend has a pickup company called Crash Magnetic Transducers. This week they introduced their first bass pickups for Precision and Jazz and they sound really REALLY good! Everything is 100% handmade in an old lace factory in Nottingham. Even down to the coil winding machine thing. Take a look at http://www.crashpickups.com if you want more info than I'm capable of giving. Quote
Geek99 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 That's in my neck of the woods- thanks for posting Quote
Prime_BASS Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I got offered to go down and test them ages ago, but I ended up selling the bass they would have gone in. Disappointed that I didn't try them. Our very own Sibob tested them out in the vids along with the rift amps. Quote
joeystrange Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 I had no idea that was him in the video. Small world. I like his bass! Quote
Sibob Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Hurrow! Weirdly, the Jazz Bass isn't mine, but the Black Precision in the P pickup video is haha. Waiting to pop my Salt P-pickup in my build, just waiting on the body from Bass Doc Si Quote
yondergo Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Just ordered a set of these, extremely helpful guy is Mark. Interestingly he is selling the Sweetbass variety of precision pickups to those interested, they're just not available directly through the site. They're supposedly a more vintage voiced affair than the Saltbass. Hand made just down the road, what could be better?! Quote
Thunderbird Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Looking forward to some reviews of these I have tried most of the major players and never really found anything that has blown me away maybe I am too fussy lol but these seem interesting Quote
yondergo Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Well, I'd have loved to have put a review of these up already but unfortunately they arrived non-functioning in late December and after sending them back all has gone a bit quiet. Last I heard they were going to be rewound and sent back to me within a few days, that was a couple of weeks ago. I'm getting to the point where I'm wondering if anything can sound good enough to justify a nearly 3 month wait, hand-made or not. Wish I'd just bought the Spb-1's now and saved myself a load of bother and 30 quid. When/if they do turn up I'll try to be objective and post a thorough review. Quote
