I'm guessing the pickups must be pretty dark, if they are usually used with 1 meg pots? Wikipedia says they are pretty clear pickups. Those lollar reissues are extremely expensive! Theyre are plenty of cheaper clear sounding humbuckers available.

People only want widerangers because they're made of unobtainium.

That and the fact that they do sound lovely.

Classic use of the passive aggressive smiley in Lollar's post there. Telenator constantly comes across as a shit, too.

I like my Creamery pickups. I have a set of custom JM pickups and some humbuckers which I believe are based on the WRHB but are slightly different.

Some of Telenator's magic mojo pickups are even pricier! Plus, he constantly refers to himself in the third person. I'm not sure which is worse.
