Tried the Haussel, it's not a Barden. There is a Cool Rails or something from Duncan or Dimarzio but no. A Barden is a Barden, end of story.
My $.02...
In 2003 Bardens were $135. My favorite pickup at the time was the SD Alnico Pro II which were something like $40 when I bought them in '96 (great pickups by the way). Bardens were WAY more than other pickups but I wanted more punch, no hum, and a single coil sound. Fred's music used to sell them for ~$120. I hesitated forever, pulled the trigger, got the pickups and KICKED MYSEKF for not buying them sooner.
Right now they are close to the price they were a long time go and with free shipping. Get them. Get them and play your guitar.
