Title: Update: The order process - OK, pickups arrived! Now, one more question.
Post by: Zaned on November 05, 2008, 04:49:20 PM

Hi,

I ordered my pickup set three weeks ago, it was the first time I used BKP online shop.

I got an e-mail with subject 'Order process', and it contained the order number and of course contents of the order.

Now the question is: should I expect another e-mail when my pickups are mailed? Or do they just arrive here someday? I just want to know what to expect NEXT :) An e-mail or pickups.

I used my finnish dealer last time, but this was not a regular set so I was adviced to use the online shop.

Thanks for the info!

I've ordered all mine from the online shop. You only get the one email to acknowledge the order - the pickups arrive unannounced.

I'm in the UK, I've had as quick as 3 days, and as long as just under 2 weeks, but I've always ordered standard sets.

If you're worried, give them a call or send an email - they'll let you know what's happening :D

Thanks for the reply :) That's the answer I was hoping for!

I knew there would be a wait, but they're worth it. I'd rather wait than buy something right away and regret it later.

The last sentence doesn't mean that the waiting part is easy though!  :lol:

if it has been 3 weeks i would recommend phoning the workshop up or emailing Tim just to be on the safe side to see when it was dispatched as i am sure they should have been there sooner then 3 weeks. This is depending on what you ordered exactly.

I've emailed you the findings of the track and trace of your order. We shipped 2 days after receipt of your order but it seems that the postal service in Finland has tried to deliver and has left a card.

Hi,

yeah I got your reply and yeah, the pickups are here in Finland! The tracking number also worked on the finnish postal service website.

Phew, a close call. I called our postal service and they hold the shipments for two FULL weeks when the order has arrived in the destination. This is the second week :) I don't know where the hell that card they left has gone...well, probably slipped somewhere in my other mail.

Many thanks for the fast reply on the e-mail, Tim!

I now have the pickups!

Now, to identifying the pickups :D It's a set of 3 single coils. As far as I can tell, they're not identified.
I got access to a multimeter so I checked the ohm readings.

6.24, 5.59, 5.60 (about).  The first one is easily identified as the bridge pickup..but the question is, is there a way to identify neck and middle pickups? The middle pickup is not RWRP, so does it matter anyway? My guess is no, but it doesn't hurt to ask :)

Thanks!

EDIT: typos. And it's a calibrated set, not a mix'n match.

There will be a bridge and neck sticker on the back of the pickups, if not the bridge will be the one DCing higher and if its a stock set it does not matter which way around the neck and middle goes :)
