anzoid Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I'm on the look out for a PJ set for one of my basses and found this: http://www.bloodstoneguitarworks.com Anyone used their pickups? Price looks competitive with the likes of Seymour Duncan, EMG and DiMarzio - so around £120 for a PJ set. Appears they'll do custom windings too at the same (or similar??) price. Search doesn't throw up any hits at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 No-one tried these? I don't know whether to just go with the DiMarzios I was originally thinking of, or take a punt on a set of these and let you all know what they're like...

Sean Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I’ve always supported smaller British business where i can; Shuker, MJW, DHA, Hot Rod (Pickups), Barefaced, Etc. I’d be on the phone to Bloodstone telling him your preferences, asking for some advice and seeing what he comes up with. I really value being able to discuss the products I buy with the man that makes them. If it doesn’t work out for you try Hot Rod pickups in Colchester. I have a set of Nighttrain PJ pups from there and they are fabulous. I also have a custom set of Jazz pups from HR too, just no Jazz to put them in!

[/quote] @Sean, I've been looking at getting another P/J and going for the Nighttrain pickups - a useable tone from the P when I need it, and not too scooped?

ProjeKtWEREWOLF Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I've just ordered a P set from Zombie Dust....another small Uk manufacturer, but for more metal type genres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
