Mojo pickups sound clips?

PeterOne

Not sure if this is the right category. I'm looking for a set of pickups for my old Squier strat. I emailed Mojo pickups to get advice and he recommended his Special Stratocaster set.

I've had a look around and I can't found any sound clips of these anywhere online (I'd like to make sure they get the sound I'm looking for before buying and installing anything).

Is there anyone on here who has this set who can record/already has some recordings of them?

I'm open to clips of other pickups too - I was originally leaning toward Fender Custom Shop 69s (looking for a Mark Knopfler sort of sound) but I'd prefer to buy from somewhere more local if I can.

I've never found sound clips helpful unless they are  the same player, same amp same video and very well recorded. 

That set looks really good and I've had pickups from him before. I'd go for those personally, 69's can sound a bit scooped and thin.

There are a few on YouTube, but I'd seriously let him wind them to what you tell him, he has a real knack for getting it right....

I picked up a secondhand Mojo telecaster bridge pickup on here and it sounds very good. Marked "Jooky" actually!

I've put a few clips up with mojo pickups
In, all my stuff has them in now
They sound really good, his paf pickups are much better than bareknuckle mules imo and cheaper

Thanks everyone - it was reading the praise for Mojo pickups on this forum that got me interested in the first place, so maybe I should bite the bullet and order some.

@JookyChap Thanks, I've seen a few videos on Youtube of his pickups, just none that said they were that specific set.

@Winny_Pooh, You're probably right - I've listened to loads of sound clips of Seymour Duncans and Bareknucles and they've tended to put me off, then I've gone on Youtube and found recordings of the same pickups and they've sounded much better.

I'll do some more researching - if I do go for them, I'll try to record some sounds so the next person who comes asking can hear a sound clip.

This might do more harm for Marc than good but here are a custom set of his P90s:




I really rate Marc's work and have gone through a lot of pickups over the years. I can speak as well from a point of view in playing and owning old pickups as well. Marc does a fine job and well worth asking him to make you a set.

Disclaimer: Marc and I are chums but I pay for my pickups from him and not being made nor paid to say any of the above.

Cheers

Yep as @shugz said, Marc knows his stuff, and everything I made in the last few years had his pickups in - usually the guitars were built to see what the crazy new thing he was doing sounded/played like.

I always had to pay for them too - so yeah, great pickups, tight git
