Warman pickups... Any good?

Been using Josi's pickups for yonks and currently have them in an old Ibanez Roadster project and I have a P94 in the neck position of an Epiphone Phantomatic (this had a P94 in the bridge, but I pulled it out as I wanted something hotter).  Have used his zebra humbuckers in another project.

 

If I needed to replace any pickups, I honestly wouldn't hesitate in going to Josi as a first port of call.

I've used Warman Twin Loco (hot rails style) pickups in a recent upgrade of an old Hohner B2AFL (fretless). The original EMG Select soap bars were very muddy. The twin rails have much more clarity, even when wired in series.

 

I haven't used his P or J pickups, but would now consider it - particularly based on other positive comments.

Just posted this in the Bronco thread ... The Twin Locos are great bass pickups! Very sensitive, high output and punchy. 

 

Bit narrow though for the bridge position, so be aware. 😎 The E and G strings only *just* go over the rails.

I bought a Fazley surf green guitar just I could convert to short scale bass and Install a Warman quad rail. Turned out great. Another Warman favourite of mine is the Jazz Bar, used them plenty of times. 

If it's got your endorsement I'm in!

I've got a P/J in the Ibanez.  It's got very basic wiring, each pickup goes through a volume pot, then into a pickup selector switch.  No tone controls.  Sounds fine.
