I have a Cherry Sunburst Squire Standard strat that I would like to put some nice pickups in and those neovins keep haunting me.
I have a big money set of SD's in one of my Squire strats: JB Jr in bridge, 59 in mid, and hot rails bridge in the neck: great combination of pickups with incredible sound, all noiseless. Close to 300 for the pups then the switch and new pots and custom wiring.
The neovins sound like an inexpensive alternative.
But, can you use the existing pots and caps? Do they need 1 meg pots? Nothing is said in the description that I saw. I'm not sure that they are direct drop ins.
Samarium cobalts, Fender hot noiseless, etc., call for different pots to sound best and caps to if I'm not mistaken.
What's up with these neovins. I might email Jay and see what he says.
Duffy,
I was going to try Fender Hot Noiseless 3 Pickup Set used on the Jeff Beck sig. axe. BUT they do not come in Black and I read where several guys who tried to replace them with black covers and broke the pups.
So, the Neovins seem to be a great choice since I wanted to put black pups on the axe that had high output and some vintage sound to them and the price was really nice. But they do not give very much info on how the install process is done. An since I was not going to do the install myself I was going to call them to get more info.
The strat I want to put them is the heaviest strat I have ever picked up with my LP in one hand and it in the other I think the strat weighs more. Which creates such a full sounding tone more then any of my strats or any I have heard before so it would be a perfect candidate full a high output pups.
I was hoping to get a single coil sound somewhere in the middle of the strat LP tones.
