broadcaster !
Hi all, first post in pickups forum. I m looking for a pickup to put in a partscaster project, and i d like to emulate my original brodcaster sound. I don t want to spend a fortune, just a good sounding pickup. But i don t want it too twangy, the broadcasters have not a properly tele sound, it s a little less twangy and more beefy. Just unique. I saw S Duncan -for example- makes a replica, but he uses alnico 5, not 3. And 0.42 gauge, not .43. Any suggestions? And which one in the neck, to match it? Thanx in advance,
Cheers! |

Contact Chris Klein of Klein Pickups. His website is very informative and has sound clips of his pups, plus his input is very helpful if you email him. I have his pickups in both my Tele and Strat.

In my 60's style, I'm using one of these:
http://www.pickupwizard.com/index.ph..._Style_Pickups I really dig it. Very Tele, but with a soft edge to the highs - even w/o a compressor, there's a certain elasticity to the notes that I dig. Nice mids too. I'm my 50's style, I'm using Rob DiStefano's Cavalier. Great pickup for my needs. Very 'open', non-nasal tone, but with really nice mids that round the whole thing out. Really dig it. http://frettech.com/cavalier/ |
