Will they be available in Bart P2 size?(holding my breath)

And why im asking so much for the progress is that i want to buy your ND series in about a month and a half... and i was wondering if you just might have the Wal one ready by that time.You haven't probably thought about the pricing yet but still i have to ask... is it considerably higher priced then the ND series?:hyper:

They are very wide pickups, so they won't fit into a P2 or even EMG size case.

So they will be in MM style cases. I might also be able to offer a case similar to the real Wal pickup.

I'm trying to not have it too much higher, but it will be higher. It's a very labor intensive pickup.

I'm interested in these too. Is there any chance that you could fit the design into a G&L L-2000 sized pickup package?
(Not that L-2000 pickups are bad at all!)

By the way, I like exposed pole pieces and the ability to adjust the height individually. I hope that remains in the finished product.

Cheers!

I have to work with covers I can get, and also what the pickup will fit into. So that's going to be MM style pickups, and I'm planning on also doing a copy of the real Wal style case for the 4 string version.

I could maybe build one in a G&L case if I could get the case, and if the pickup fits. It doesn't fit into an EMG size case.

Yes, it will have adjustable poles. This is as close as I can get to the real thing, using slightly different parts. It should sound the same, but it won't look exactly the same. Even with the Wal style case, I don't have the custom pole pieces they use.
