    Hi RNL, I have the Benson JMs they are a beautiful set of pickups. I love position 4. They sound amazing equally clean and with some crunch. The videos will give you an idea of the available tones that you can get from the pickups.

    This is what the pickups sound like in position 4
    http://youtu.be/IfFi4Q7ueA8 check out the Rhythm tones and lead.
    Have fun with your project

    Wot Kimball sed
    It's Kimballs fault that we decided to stock the Bennos.... Very good pups for not a lot of cash.

    Coota is a cutie, I have a Staffy named Saffron... Talk about a sooky la la. It was raining a bit here last night and her royal highness flatly refused to go out for her pre bed time wee... Guess who got woken up at 3am to let her out?....

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Hey DB I'll have to bring my Precision Bass over for you, to have a play. You'll love the Bensons on that.

    Lol no I have nothing to sell,and as you know I've not sold one thing on here Woks unlike you ha ha ha.I just love the pickups. Imagine your favourite beer then some one says foster's is even better,you taste it realise it's not fit for pig swill. So you go back to your favourite beer lol. In my opinion the Benson are the best pickups I've bought period. And I have the Boutique Pickups Lindy Fralins cost twice the price in my opinion they can't touch the Bensons.Maybe Woks, I should talk to John lol. If you've not tried the Bensons Woks give em a go. Let me know your thoughts.
