    Question humbucker help

    hay there chaps I have a question for you all. With all my gigging in hot and humid lands my bridge humbucker on my ASS is totally rusted. I think it is affecting my tone. Can this be repaired or is it just as cost effective to get a new humbucker??? What humbucker is closest to the origional one in my Super Sport?

    Many thanks

    J.

    Ps... My new band is kicking ass. Will have some audio for you soon.

    As for ASS equivalent pickup I think Air Norton (neck) and Tone Zone (bridge) are the closest to the originals one

    I don't think you will be able to contact him by phone during the day - try e mailing him to arrange a suitable time.

    Tell him Spud sent ya! His pickups are THE BEST!!

    Is sending in the old pickup to EBMM for a replacement an option for you? I don't think you'll find anything that is quite the same as the original one.

    You could always replace it with an original (returning the rusted original to EBMM).

    Yup...same thing I was gonna suggest.BTW you can order both the dimarzio tone zone and air norton with polished or raw nickel covers...may be just the trick to slow down the sweat/humidity pickup rot
