I picked up a set of Bloodstone vintage hot start pickups from ebay. A bit of a random purchase 

What can I expect from these

I guess they are just another pickup in a sea full of similar products?

I've never heard of them before; with a name like Bloodstone it sounds like a super-hot pickup for metal! Would be interested to hear how you get on with them

Here is a link

They are described as follows on the website 

Vintage Hot - Irish Flood (Alnico 5: Neck=6.5K Mid=6.5K Bridge= 7.4K)

Maximum 42awg to give a really powerful woody tone with warmer highs, more weighty mids and a fatter bottom end to drive any amp really hard


I'm not really sure what all that is supposed to translate to

Inspired by the BK Irish Tour set?

I bought a Tele pickup. The guy who runs it was very helpful, and the final product is very well built, and sounds great.
