I am new to replacing parts. I have been searching for replacements for my Ripper. I need 2 "super humbuckers". Please help me find the source. I am tired of filly farting around trying to find them. Thanks guys!!

if the pickups in the bass are broken or need repair or just some tonal ouptut adjusting send them to lindy fralin.

finding replacements will be much more difficult and probably more costly.

Wish I still had that Ripper demo vinyl 45. Great bass!

Rio Grande pickups

I like the Pitbulls in my Les Paul Standard, but the Muy Grande's seem to be more popular.
