Good or not? Real pro buckets or not?
I'll find out when I get the kit together!

Hmm a few nice goodies there and bonus no soldering! Hey you could check to see if the pickups are wax potted, cheap ones they dont bother with..

How to check that?
I can't see any residual wax around the screws....

To check for wax potted look for any wax resides on the underneath of the pickups, try scraping around with your fingernail or a toothpick. if you can find any wax they should be ok. What Simon means by microphonic, is that if the pickups are not wax potted, i.e. dipped in wax, they will sound a bit like a microphone and pick up a lot of noise from around you, just like a mic. The wax helps with stopping any feedback you may get from the pickups.
If they are not wax potted when they are connected you can talk into them and hear your voice through a connected anp. Hope this helps.
