UNPD

Post by Slowy »

Unexpected New Pickup Day.
Went into Jansen Pro Audio this arvo looking for a handle for the cab I'm building. Failed to find one but after a long chat with Simon, walked out with a cream P90.
Yes, I know I have a Lollar in the mail but this was only $57 or so . Why not? Spare pups in the parts box are always a good thing.
Brand is Alan Entwistle. Jansen do a range of all the usual flavours and all of them are cheap.

Verdict?
If the SE One had come with this installed, I'd probably not thought of changing it. Considerably more output than the stock unit and not as shrill. Plenty bright with the volume on full but turn down slightly and the treble backs off and the mids come to the fore. And a bit more snotty punk attitude without being over the top.

Obviously haven't tried the others but if this is indicative, there's bang for your bucks to be found here. :thumbup:

Does he miss us? And did he try to sell you a complete top-of-the-line PA system?

Well I went in for a handle and left with a pickup I didn't really need so he's still Simon! :rofl:

They're cheap enough you can't really go wrong.
