111518 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I have Fralin's in my basses and in a tele. I think he's been really working on how to preserve single coil sound in a pickup that bucks hum. I don't know about the P-90, but many of his designs are based on the idea of a split coil, like the Fender Precision pickup. Another outfit where, if you call on the phone, Lindy picks up. ...and, he also offers, or at least use to offer, a service such that if you buy a pickup and you decide you'd rather have it a bit underwound or overwound, you can send it back for a rewind.
yoslate Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Is that so you can get that elusive "woman tone"? ....... Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!!
brentrocks Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Is that so you can get that elusive "woman tone"? ....... What made you choose Fralins? I have a Fralin HB 8.3 that I like quite a bit. But that is my only foray into his pickups. LOL i chose the Fraulins because Paul told me too.... ...he suggested them because of the hum-cancel feature with high gain, i thought for high gain that would be a nice plus!!

I do admit to being an influence on the choice of pickups .. btw Brent that green looks cool on your 137DC, the six coats should be dry in time for St Patricks Day
BrianToth Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Lindy Fralin just makes some of the best pickups anywhere. I have P-92s in my Prospect and in my Sweet 16 (which surprises many people). Great choice Brent....no wonder you didn't keep my 137....it wasn't fancy enough, especially when the delivery was at McDonald's!
