New Kinman Pickups

Postby TributeShadow » 04 Jan 2010, 22:15

Hi Folks,
I just want to tell you about a new pickupset from Chris Kinman. I have used this pickups sense september and they are GREAT for shadowsmusic. They have more bite and twang than even vintage pickups, even the neck pickup has great twang. They are quite sensitive too, a lot of fast attack. And they have a lot of tone because of the extra mids, these are not as scooped in the midrange as vintage pickups. But the plain strings still sound nice, very similar to a vintage pickup but with a bit more bite and presence. All 3 pickups are the same, Chris didn't make the bridge any fatter because the sound would have been too harsh. The excellent attack and extra presence are very good for muted parts, the muted sound is very good, much better than vintage pickups. Chris have no plans to release them for general sale, but who knows? It would be interesting to hear others opinions about Kinman pickups.

Regards,
Patrik
