Creamery Pickups are cheaper than Bare Knuckles and cheaper than mass produced stuff like Seymour Duncan's. I replaced my Les Paul pickups with custom Creamery humbuckers for about £40 less than using Gibson stock pickups. You get what you pay for, Jaime's work is just awesome.
Hi, I do - I make a humbucker with lower output for hollow-body guitars and make custom versions too. I don't have pickups all boxed up on the shelf ready to send out - each order is custom made so I can change the specifications to suit the individual player or guitar.
It would be so nice if some pickup manufacturer would produce a low-impedance humbucker for those of us that want bright, clean, punchy sounds with no mega-distortion, which would be great to use in the recording studio.
For the record, Creamery Swing-O's pair cost £150, Bare Knuckle covered humbuckers start at £220. Both makers are awesome, but Creamery gear isn't expensive.
I've since tweaked the specs a little since this old video. As for price, I don;t use off-the-shelf parts - I make them myself or have them custom manufactured to my own specifications, hence the higher price. Plus each order is custom made to suit.
People say they're expensive, compared to some boutique pickup makers, they seem perfectly reasonable to me. Any chance of some demos of your Jazzmaster pickups going up anytime soon? I'm looking to get some newpickups for my Squier J Mascis...
Hi, I am thinking of switching out my fender blacktop tele pickups for something less boistrous. looking for something with more clarity so chords still sound great with a bit of overdrive. used to love my blacktop pickups but have since fallen in love with my single coils and want something that has single coil clarity with humbucker width.
Looking to replace my streamliner broadtrons. Would these drop right in? How do they compare to the TV jones classics? Except being cheaper! Want clean growl and twang. No dark mud!
The impedances quoted above are different to the ones quoted on the Creamery website, which says 4.65k and 4.1k. A shame they are priced so ridiculously expensive though.
Very disappointed. Sorry, this doesn't sound good at all. Sounds stuffy and one-dimensional, like a guitar straight through a DI box. No air in the sound, muddy, I don't hear tubes and I don't hear the quality you get when you have an amp speaker (and I'm using studio-quality reference monitors to listen through, by the way). Maybe you used the wrong guitar, or you didn't do enough work on the post-production mix. My Gretsch G6118 straight into a Vox AC4TV beats this readily (no reverb available on the amp, either). I was considering your pickups instead of an intended TV Jones upgrade, but if your pickups sound like this, no thanks.
As a Gretsch and TV Jones fanboy, I have to say that these sound MIGHTY fine!! Well done sir!!

That Spanish style really sounds cool with those p-ups!

love this demo, how do you think these pick ups would sound in hard rock

Hi. Sweet demo. What value pots and caps are you using ?

Which pickups would you recommend for a 1989 Gretsch Duo Jet and do they come with wiring and fittings?
This sounds fucking big. I'm definitely getting these for my '35.
'Scuse my foul language, by the way.
Looking for new pickups for my epiphone sg. Wanted to know which humbucker sized pickups has a more articulate and open sound.
and bright of course to balance the mahogany wood tone.
Will gretsch pickup bezels fit these?
But can it djent?
You need to tweak your amp. Your tone is too muddy.
really ? maybe tweak your ears lol . Sounds sweet
No.

There's a comment form five years ago from Jaime that says "I've since tweaked the specs a little since this old video."
