I'm about to order my WP/CS pickup set, but I've got a few questions, what spacing is right for an Ibanez RG is the Dimarzio/Ibz pickups in it? All I will probably want to do with the pickups are just have them humbucking, but should I get four conductor hook up just in case some day i wanna do something weird with it? Also, I am ordering them without covers, because I'm in the US and I'm already getting killed on this transaction because of the GPB to USD ratio, so I don't really have the budget to be spending an extra 50 dollars on top of the already 380 dollars, but is it possible to order just the covers later on and install the myself?
and finally, how do i order them? I know you order through Tim or something if you need something custom, but all i want is a AV warpig bridge and a cold sweat in neck with no covers, so should i just order them from the website shop?
I know, lot of stupid questions but I'm getting nervous that I'm gonna screw something up

I just attempted to measure the spacing, I'm not sure what the bridge pickup in there is, cause i dont know where on the poles to measure it, but from high E to low E at the saddles on my floyd is definetly 53mm, I dont know if what is in there is f spaced, the poles seem about the same as on the neck pickup, but i guess that means i should get a 53mm bridge pickup...

When you do an order through the website there is a section at the bottom of one of the pages for comments and questions.
Just ask in there for him to check with you the spacing first as you are unsure. Tim is a really nice guy and responds very promptly.
I asked for him to contact me reguarding the bevel on the single coils pickups before shipping them to me in Australia. He did so straight away.
I like most have used the website more than a few times and never really had any problems.
If your in the USA expect about a 2 week wait. Thats just based off what other guys on the forum say. it usually takes 3 weeks to Australia.

Ok thanks, but does anyone know the other question about the covers? also how come there is no bridge or neck option for the Warpig on the site? I'm ordering my pickups tonight

good Question.... There's a bridge/neck option on the covered one. Just specify in the comments box at the end of the order that you want a bridge model
-
ok thanks
-
if you want covers on them then buy them with covers - - if you want to save money themn buy them without covers and live with it.
It is ok to add covers later, but as with all jobs on pickups, its best done by a pro so will cost $50+ anyway

I don't think he wants covers ;)

I asked if it is possible to buy covers at a later date and install them myself, i do want covers, but i cant afford to pay another 50 bucks on top of 380 dollars for covers
but thanks for all your help everyone, I'm all out of questions :)
-
i just ordered 1 of them now, I've decided to order them one at a time cause that way i can get exactly what i want and both of them with covers, so i just ordered my bridge warpig, and i put in the comments that i want the gloss black cover
-
cr@p, actually when i wrote that last post I was in the process of ordering one but now am confused out of my mind, American credit cards don't have the start date on them, and i have no idea what "credit card issue number" is :( what should I do
-
Ring Tim and order over the phone and speak to him.
-
eehh I'm not about to call england on my phone, thats hella long distance and out of country
any alternatives?

It's not expensive to phone UK to US (or vice versa) - when I order my strings from Dr Duck in the US I'm usually on for five mins and it only ever costs around £2.00
You could always email him too.
:twisted:

Those details are only necessary for debit cards like Maestro - if you have a credit card like Visa or Mastercard, just leave those boxes empty, you'll be OK.

Yes, Like Philly says, those numbers are required on maestro cards, which are European, you shouldn't need to worry about them. and as everyone has said, even if you do make a mistake on your order, you can be quite sure that Tim or one of his gnomes will e-mail you straight away.
it's nice to see someone willing to go the other way on the pound/dollar divide, i know it's difficult for people on your side of it. the thing is, i've found that we can't really take advantage because generally people have put their prices up to offset any saving that we might have made against the weak dollar. the buggers are taking advantage of us!!!
Anyway, hope you enjoy your warpig wheb you get it. i have a set and i think they're fantastic!
-
just letting you know, my order to the US only took i think 4 or 5 days. they actually are really quick. although i do live in PA and i could see a Cali order taking up to 2 weeks.
-
Oh, I'm in New Jersey, I just placed my order, I think i might have made a mistake in it and put in the wrong name for the credit card holder haha, so I emailed Tim right after realizing this and told him, I hope everything works out. Sorry for all the really retarded questions, I was just nervous as hell that I would screw something up, and I did haha, but anyhow, when I get my pickups I will surely review them on these forums :twisted: BTW I ended up ordering a Ceramic Warpig, not Alnico V, that is what Tim recommended in the email anyways. And a Cold Sweat neck, with no covers, the pound to dollar conversion actually wasn't too bad, considering i got 17.5% off because of the VAT tax or whatever it is called, so it ended up being like 40 dollars cheaper after that deduction.
-
yeah its nice to get the 17.5 percent off, although the conversion still hurts. and tim will fix your order, when i ordered my pickup, i accidentally ordered twice, but he fixed it.
-
Yes, being an U.S.A.ian, the 17.5% you knock off is worth ordering strait from Tim. I haven't seen any American dealers be able to knock off enough $ TO BE BUT ABOUT $10 CHEAPER, AND YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL TIM VIA EMAIL Your custom sound desires. You won't be dissappointed. Rock on!
