Here's that image of the 5.0 X-Bar and it's measurements.

 

[Tom Drinkwater]

That looks exactly like what came in the mail today, hmmmmm.

 

[Hollowway]

Whoo hoo! That's awesome!

(Time to start work on the 6" ones now! )

 

[Danukenator]

What's up with the split bars? Will it effect the tone?

 

[Durero]

It's the end of "next week" - any word on when the 5.0's will be available in the Lace online store?

 

[Rook]

Hey, to follow up my last question, is there an X-Bar that'd drop directly into a 7, say the size of the Aluma-90?

 

[USMarine75]

Alumitone first, then same rhythm with Deathbucker... then Paul Gilbert style string-skipping solo wankery at the end on the Deathbucker.

 

[Rook]

Is the Aluma-90 ceramic or alnico, anybody?

 

[MF_Kitten]

ceramic, i'm pretty sure. The magnets are the two lines you see on the surface. They are blackish, so i'm assuming ceramic.

 

[Lace Music Products]

The Deathbucker/Deathbar as well as all other Alumitones are ceramic 8 magnets that you see as part of the design element on the pickups. Also on the underside of each of these pickups are barrium ferrite magnets. There are a set of them for the Aluma series and four of them for the Deathbucker/Deathbar series respectively.

I sent y'all an email, but just figured I'd ask here too.

Would the Alumitone 90 work well in a Schecter Ultra VI (basically a bass VI)?

I'm not pleased with the duncan designed 101s in there stock.

I play sludgey metal, grind, and drone.

A Alumitone humbucker would work perfect for this application. And besides they would make the guitar look extremely bad ass! For more output you could go with the Deathbucker version for the bridge . However, that is only available in black anodize.

 

[abandonist]

Excellent. I actually have a deathbucker I was going to put in another guitar, but I think I'll put it there instead. Just need to route a bigger hole for it.

^^^^ WANT

Anyone know what that bridge hardware is?

 

[BrokenAvenger]

hopefully hearing back from my aus dealer soon. want to give those deathbuckers a try... been liking what i've seen and heard (lurk lurk lurk)

 

[Red&Die]

I'm interested in the Lace Deathbar & X-Bar 7 strings pickup for direct mounting, to replace my BKP (as normal Duncan/Dimarzio size), so which model should I buy? the DB7 or 3.5?

 

[Rook]

A 3.5" bar is the same size as an EMG707, you need the DeathBucker7 as a direct replacement or a router for the X bar (don't think there's a -bucker version).

A 3.5" bar is the same size as an EMG707, you need the DeathBucker7 as a direct replacement or a router for the X bar (don't think there's a -bucker version).

The X-Bar is a variant of the Aluma 90; check the dimensions on that pickup to see how it fits in your guitar. The Aluma 90 is wide enough to *sense* 7 strings (Ola Strandberg put one in a 7-string that Fred Brum now owns), but it may not be large enough to fill the routed space in a pleasing way.
