Tonerider pickups - anyone try these yet?

[laughingparrot]

I just ordered and am waiting to receive a Generator model black bridge pickup from these guys. I heard about them over on the HarmonyCentral boards. I love the sound clip - I just hope it's not all the Laney amp it's being run through! It was a very reasonable $40 plus shipping.

Anyone else try these yet?

I dont think you are hearing just laney
they sound quite good for a $39 pup
being that they are imports they can keep the cost down
The only thing i wonder about is their QC?

They seem to have great reviews, especially for the price. A lot of the guys on the ReRanch board love them, but they aren't into the overdriven, shred thing, so be forewarned - they're not Superdistortions! Build quality looks quite good, so I wouldn't worry too much about QC any more that I would for a DiMarzio or SD....

I have about 6 sets waiting to go into guitars and basses, hope to be able to try them out soon myself!

Just got the pickup in. This is a Generator Bridge pickup with an Alnico V mag and is rated at 16k output. I figure it is supposed to be their version of the JB. I'll post a clip when I get it installed.

First thing I noticed is the pickup isn't as tall as a regular Seymour or DiMarzio, which means the magnet is probably smaller. I don't know if that's necessarily a bad thing. Are bigger magnets always better?

If anyone's interested, I posted a short song with the new Tonerider pickup in my Dnky. http://www.jcfonline.com/forums/show....php?p=1131920

I really like the pickup. It's got a great punchy bark to it, and the bottom end is very, very tight.

Wow thats sounds damn good for a less expensive pu
has some nice clarity too and is tighter/chunkier than the JB
