He was at Beaconsfield, and apparently last seen moving several hundred kg (if not several tonnes) of equipment and wood to his new top secret bunker. These mad geniuses... We're not like that, are we?Quote from dingobass on October 22, 2012, 21:07

Ha ha ah aha
Mad genius indeed, I saw a photo on FB where they were moving a monster machine that weighed in over 850 kg.... got it on the tralier with a forklift but had no forklift at the other end. Apparently they unloaded it with a couple of planks, and a lot of grunting and swearing no doubt!
Perry does build some awesome axes and deserves the accolades he has recieved!
Hope he can stay at his new location for a decent length of time, from memory this is his second move in 2 years?

There's also Chris Kinman Pickups in Brisbane. Cost wise they are less than the top end brand names, but in a lot of people's opinions basically crap on them and are noiseless while they do it. Anyone who produces the pickups that Tommy Emannuel insists on and Hank Marvin uses must be doing something right.
Just checked out Kinman's web site..... OUCH, that is expensive! They must be something else for that kind of coin.. But I do trust dmac's judgement on these things so I might get these rather than Bareknuckles Nail bombs to swap out the GFS pups I installed in the Axe of Destiny...

They are expensive. They are good. But also remember- I've got one set of pickups that are in their third body. So if there in, say, a strat guard, they won't be disturbed.Quote from dingobass on October 31, 2012, 18:38

Funnily enough, that reminds me of the name of one band I was seen with. It was about 10 guys who would make up a band of 4 or 5 when the booking came through. It was called Grandad's Axe- Grandad's had his axe for 50 years. He's changed the handle 3 times and the head twice, but it's still the same axe.
Ha ha ha ha!Quote from dmac on October 22, 2012, 13:28

I can remember my Grandfather telling me that one when I was a little un!
Totally convinced now dmac....The Kinmans are going in the Axe of Destiny!

Afraid we might be, dMac... I think it is an occupational hazzard for the creative.Quote from dmac on October 23, 2012, 11:30

I know I'm ressurecting an old thread here, but for those interested, it's worth checking out the twin blade pickups made by Bill Lawrence at Wilde Bill pickups.Quote from on October 22, 2012, 13:28

These are actually made by Bill in his workshop to order, and are not to be confused with the Bill Lawrence USA pickups, which were designed by him originally. He hasn't been involved with Bill Lawrence USA for quite some time now, and is back making pickups under a different brand name for legal reasons.
He has been refining his designs over the years, and many regard his pups as world beaters, whilst being extremely well priced.
You can check out his gear at wildepickups.com

Thanks for the headsup Stui! Much appreciated...although I suspect a certain DB may be winding his own shortly!
