** Novel ideas for pickup design (or implementation) **

[_tom_]

I've been thinking about this for soo long! If there was a standard it would be great.

Dude it was my invention first; we've had this arguement, and i won, remember? 8)

haahah no way. I thought about it since I first learnt that pickups were interchangable!

You could just invent your own system, use the standard 4-pin connector that is used by EMG and have that wired up to the pickup slot, readily connected with whatever configuration your guitar uses.

Then whenever you get new PUps, just wire them to one of those connectors and you can swap around as you like in minutes.

Actually seriously consider doing this. The only drawback is that you'll cut all your pickup cables short, which is bad if you'd wanna sell them, but hey, just always buy BKPs, so selling is no seriously considered option anyway :)

I like the fact that I can swap an EMG in under two minutes by standing on the Floyd bar and popping the pickup ring off.

If I could do that with passive pickups I'd be laughing.

With a system like that, I'd buy more BKPs sooner.  Right now, I have basically one guitar which is already loaded with BKPs, and no plans to buy another guitar in the immediate future (which means no plans to buy BKPs in the immediate future).

If there was a relatively simple way to make BKPs fast-swappable, I'd love to install it! :)

Same, itd be great to have my Mules for playing the blues rock stuff, then chuck in a set of NB's for other stuff  :twisted:
