Chrome soapbars?

[BTL]

Has anyone come across a source for chrome soapbars, like the old-style T-Bird pickups?

I know Lull has a set, but is there anyone else offering something similar?

Thanks!

Lollar makes Tbird pickups but they aren't chrome and are the same size as Epiphone pickups: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

RS Guitarworks has pickups that are wound by Fralin to sound like Tbird pickups but they are guitar humbucker sized:

There's a few different chrome ones here, but they're not exactly like T-Bird pups:

Lace Alumitone makes chrome soapbars ("BassBars") and they sound T-Bird-esque to me.

The Fralins and Laces intrigue me...

On a whim, I put one of these in the neck of a short scale project and it sounds pretty good:

So good, in fact, I'm thinking about getting one to put in a p pup position on a new project. That said, I've never played a t-bird, so I don't know how the sound compares. Also, watch out for string spacing... My shorties are narrower then most full-scales.

Jason indicated to me yesterday that he would be releasing Gibson Thunderpickups in 2011 (not the Epiphone ones) that should drop in a standard Gibby TB. In Chrome Nickel and Gold and Plastic Black - stay tuned!

LOLLAR?

That would be sweet!

And his Epiphone sized vintage T-bird style pickups are REALLY excellent. Very fat and aggressive, and still very defined and non-muddy (not "hifi" clear, though, but excellent vintage vibe usable in any modern-or vintage!-appplication). Expect these to be equally astounding, if they are the same pickups with different sized covers.
