fidgec94 Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Mother bucker 27.5k? That's a spicey meatball! Any heard one of these? I just happened to be browsing and i came across it. I have a KA Distortion humbucker and that gets pretty dirty at high gain. What the heck would this sound like? I know the DC resistance isnt a direct measure of distortion, but its gotta be pretty brutal hasnt it? Wonder if it'd sound too over the top and muddy or whether you could actually hear the note/chord being played... An interesting name for a pickup. You'd expect a fork of lightening or something when you say a name like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snork Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 !!!!! that must get SO much feedback. i recommend the dimebuckers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreamLine Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 !!!!! that must get SO much feedback. i recommend the dimebuckers..... no, only if the pickup is not potted properly or guitar is unshielded will you get lots of feedback.... well, putting that mother-of-a-bucker into a hollow body wouldnt be too good, but point is, in my opinion bad worksmanship causes squaling and disgusting feedback, NOT high output pickups. and dimebuckers are just overhyped and overrated BL XL500's.

Jehle Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 My X2N is over 20k and it has ceramic magnets. The thing is just like butter. No pick noise at all, so it can get a little mushy for fast picking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreamLine Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 do you have an old or a new one? i saw that X2n has output of 510 milliVolts....... which is insanely big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidgec94 Posted January 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I like Kent Armstrong pickups, cos effective too. At about £80 a pop i can't afford Seymour Duncans and the like. My KA Distortion humbucker was £36 and the single coil Rail pickups are about £30. The mothbucker might be an interesting option in the future....

IWishICouldShred Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Get one of the old motherbuckers! (3 normal-size single coils) You could do so much cool coil tap stuff with one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidgec94 Posted January 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 KA claim the mother is their most versatile pickup to date what with all the wiring options. If its like 2hummers strapped together each with 4-conductor cable...thats a whole lot of mess in your control cavity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansil Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 My X2N is over 20k and it has ceramic magnets. The thing is just like butter. No pick noise at all, so it can get a little mushy for fast picking. the x2n uses alnico magnets unless someone changed yours they have always come that way since the inception of them. also you might want to look at yours. over 20k.. mine is only 14k and thats what the old datasheets used to say. but it still puts otu 510mv.
