SORTED [Hopefully]: DiMarzio neck position humbucker, black/cream

Funkfingers

Must be short baseplate screw lugs for direct mounting and 49mm spaced for neck/Rhythm position.

Black screw coil bobbins. Cream stud coil bobbin.

Not interested in Super Distortion, Tone Zone or Evolution. Tempted by EVO2, PAF Joe, Air Norton or whatever might interest somebody, with an Edward-style guitar, who is not interested in sounding like Edward.

•

Before anyone suggests them, I know that OCP makes highly suitable pickups but, this time, transparent bobbins will not look right. Similarly, Tonerider has several candidates but their black/cream bobbin colours are the wrong way around.

I may have an all black air norton as it goes.... let me check..

Funkfingers

Thanks for the offer but, this time, I gotta have black screw coils and cream stud coils.

Your black DP193 would only suit if I whack a chrome cover on it. It would also need to be regular polepiece spacing to suit the neck position.

I just removed a set of D-Activators from a Mockingbird (the new series) today. They are all black bobbins, F spaced.
I will be leaving on friday for a few days out, but if you are interested drop me a message and if we agree I could arrange with someone to deliver them on my behalf.

Funkfingers

Thanks for the offer but I am dead set on a black screw coil bobbin and a cream stud coil bobbin in the DiMarzio fashion. (Seymour Duncan calls this arrangement reverse Zebra.) Anything else just looks wrong.

Chrome covers would look acceptable but I would have to fit them myself. DiMarzio only offers gold or nickel. 

Power-Beef

I have an all black EJ Custom for the neck, f-spaced, bought new; an f-spaced all black Tone Zone, bought used, and a pair of Alnico 5 ToneRiders "Generators"... but I guess all black isn't your thing?

Not this time. Thank you anyway.

Tell me more about these, please. e.g. Polepiece spacing, baseplate elevator screw lug lengths, output cable lengths, price.

Another project is on the cards.

Dang it! Sorry, the Toneriders have been sold! The Dimarzios are still available though.

UPDATE: DP228FBC Crunch Lab sorted. 

Only looking for black/cream neck/Rhythm position pickup now.

Interested in Air Norton, Illuminator N or Rainmaker. Less interested in Liquifire.

I have zebra Dimarzio PAF pro,Gibson spacing

But two bobbins have allen screw heads,like the Super Distortion.

Funkfingers

The PAF Pro is supposed to look like that.  

Two questions for you.
1) Are the pole screws nickel or black?
2) How much output cable is left on the pickup?

SnazzyGeezer

I ordered it as a special from the Dimarzio UK distributors as they normally come with Black poles,mine are chrome/nickel

30cm of 4 conductor wire

Mint condition

Not Dimarzio, but I think the coil colours are the right way round

A fine pickup but not appropriate for my AX40 project. Somebody local to me might fancy it for his LP.

@Funkfingers message me your email address, for some photos

Looking for £50 posted

Funkfingers

That is a very fair price but I am leaning increasingly towards the pickups listed in my January 16th comment.  

SnazzyGeezer

No problem at all

If that isn't available, I'm pretty sure I have a zebra PAF Pro in a cupboard somewhere. I'm pretty sure it's black screws, but I could swap them to chrome with screws from another Dimarzio if necessary. Not sure if it's F or standard spaced. If you're interested, let me know and I'll dig it out after work.
