NPUD - Gemini Pickups Degenerate Soapbars

[ahpook]

Feeling rather uninspired by the EMG-HZs in my recently-acquired Spector I decided to have a word with Mike at Gemini Pickups to see if he had anything that might suit.

I've bought pickups a few times from him - a rather nice Jazz set and a pair of guitar mini-humbuckers that I put in a guitar for a friend - always helpful and amazing pickups.

So, here they are, took about two weeks from ordering to them arriving. I'm really looking forward to fitting them this afternoon.

Interested to hear how you get on. I'm having a pair of Geminis in a custom build I'm lining up.

I'm just checking the orientation of the pickups with Mike at Gemini, I'll report back as soon as they're in.

Which pickups are you going for ?

Tsunamis or Waveriders probably. My friend/luthier always uses Gemini and recommends them very highly.

following with interest. after seeing this I'm keen to get a custom build done with the Degenerates

Fitted the Denegerates yesterday evening and Wow ! The bass has character now, as opposed to the rather mid-heavy bland sound of the EMG-HZs.

Definitely more of a single-coil feel, which is what I was after, so Mike was spot on with the recommendation.

Well chuffed
