World's first drum machine

 

Knocked out by knock offs

A few weeks ago I got carried away shopping late at night and have been dealing with the repercussions as packages arrive. 

It really says something about the business model of this website that they accept up to five returns each month, with a prompt refund soon after the post office scans the barcode on the label provided. 

Anyway, my expectations were low but changed dramatically when I installed these "Texas" pickups. 

The wax crusted onto thick metal base plates was encouraging, as were the cloth-covered wires. 

So imagine my surprise that they sound amazing! 

I feel so inspired with the tone that's coming out of my excellent Artist guitar, which was super cheap as it had an electrical fault. 

There aren't any moving parts in a pickup, so I expect these will keep performing and inspiring me to do the same.
