    With the ASAT that weighs in at 4.5 kg, the sticky strap makes my shirt bunch up holding the neck in place...
    You just have to play that one topless!
    After all, you do live in the "Sunshine State"

    You could have fitted two for even better balance.
    Somewhere online years ago, I saw a guy selling little sand bags that hook onto the bottom strap button!
    May be effective, but just silly!

    Me topless would be even less appealing than my playing.

    Yeah there were a number of suggestions for how to get a little more weight into this. Also rejected: fishing weights and truck nuts. ;-)

    These pickups are great! For my tastes, I need to the strings to break in a bit. Once they do, I will try to find a way to get a decent recording of them. Basically it's a vintage style, hand wound pickup, but with 1/4" alnico magnets rather than standard ones. I got them for around $50. The price has now gone up to $60. Still hard to beat at that price.

    Maybe a touch more of the highs than my Geezer Butlers, but just as much booty and warmth. I still think the EMGs were a bargain at almost twice the price. These are a steal. Shipping is free in the US. Not sure what it will take to get them to AUS or the UK. Not likely to be the bargain they are here, but maybe still decent for a quality hand wound pickup.
