    Just poked my website designer with a sharp stick ... they are all now up under 'other humbuckers' on the humbuckers page, except the Brass Knuckle. The BK along with the Buccaneer has been taking a rest from my lineup ... and will be back at the end of next month

    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    Just another note on the website.

    On Products page, the Humbucker text and images are links.

    For everything else, just the text is.  I clicked the single coil image and nothing happened.  I felt mildly stupid

    Thanks for pointing this out, should be fixed now!

    Hi.  I think on the Single Coil page the "See All" button for Tele pickups is linking to "Modern Output humbuckers". 

    I've tried two different broswers and they're both doing it!

    Was getting tempted for an Kayman 90 and spotted the link error.

    I hope the stick was wound with high quality plain enamel wire.

  • Maybe it's just my old machine, but I'm finding the new site very, very slow. Also, is the phone number on the main page correct?

    A bit slow to load picture here but a big improvement. It looks good!

    With the single coils it might be worth putting in the title whether they are single or a set. Otherwise it looks like the standard series are £40ish each and the masterwound £165 each!

    Fixed the phone number issue ... not had a problem with other users on site speed ... but it is very image heavy.

    Will look at that issue

  • My machine is old and I'm on WIFI, which tends to be slower too. I'll try it on my new computer which has a cable for the broadband. It should be much quicker, but I'll let you know.

    If all else fails, try increasing the boiler pressure :)

    I WILL get round to trying some of your pickups at some point, shame I was too slow for the masterwound sale as I'm interested in the Cow-Tron and Winterizers.

    Something you might need to be careful about is that Bare Knuckle have a P90 called the Supermassive, so I don't know if they might try to claim some kind of trademark on the name.

  • It's much quicker on my newer machine with a cabled connection. It's clearly very image heavy, but that's the look that you want I guess. The site is a real improvement and properly reflects the fantastic work you're doing ;-) Get ready for some busy times!

    The website works ok on my work PC.  Given the general incompetence of our IT people, and how slow a lot of other websites are from here, I think it's good.

    Wouldn't mind some pickups but I need to figure out what.

    The website runs a bit quicker once the pics have cached a bit. It looks very lovely... so much so I've gone and ordered something :)
