Any experience with Bulldog pickups?

Hayden makes some of the best pickups around in my humble opinion. He's made several for me and and I've got his sweet 62s in both my strats as they do everything you need. He's a top guy and totally trustworthy

I've had a set of Bulldog Texas Floods in my Strat for the last decade and can confirm they are perfect in every way

Thanks Hayden

I’ve had a set in a levinson strat for a long time.  They’re great

I now have a set of Cool PAFs on order, so will update this reasonably soon

Having received my set of pickups from @Van_Hayden , I can echo all the above

An absolute pleasure to deal with, great communication throughout to end up with something slightly customised from his standard set. Excellent attention to detail too, from really classy and secure packaging to little touches like little tabs on each pickup lead (in addition to the bottom of the baseplate) to identify each pickup with DCR reading, extra screws, etc.

Oh and the pickups sound great too. Very sweet, zero mud/boominess on the neck (which is not always a given with A2 magnets), nice bite on the bridge.

Overall very happy and will probably come back for more in future!

I have a pair of their P90s in my Probett. Nicely made, good sounding pickups. I like these more than the original ones I had in a mid 60s SG which seemed kind of...meh. These seem more articulate and less...’floofy’.. than the SG was, it had no bite at all.

Having said that I still don’t love P90s (in general) so I’m going to change the bridge, most likely that’ll be to a humbucker so I can pile the gain on without too much noise.

Thanks for letting me know Greg - hopefully I translated what you wanted into a pickup!

@Moe_Zambeek which Probett did you go for? I'm guessing a Rocket? 

Moe_Zambeek

@Van_Hayden yeah I have a Rocket 3, had it a few years now. Awesome guitar.

Van_Hayden

@Moe_Zambeek HB & standard P90 or the alnico pole variant that Damian liked?

Got my Rocket III a few years back & its fantastic. 

Just in case anyone doesn’t know what we’re on about:

Mine has two regular P90s @Van_Hayden ;;

The lime green metallic on Damian’s page is mine.

I think maybe I should have gone with the rod mag variants...I have a Dearmond style here I might try.

I used to have Sweet 62’s.  Ended up selling them but haven’t found any I like as much since, wish I’d have kept them.

I've had a set of sweet 62's in my partscaster for the last 8 years. No plans to replace them. Love them.
