Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invader pickups

[Rhizopus]

Hey people! Would anybody enlighten me on how could I really get these pickups? And how much they would cost(1st or 2nd hand)?

Thanks alot..

btw why invader?

I found that it's bit muddy for rhythm playing with gain.

Mmm.... I went to listen to it several times on diff. webbies. Depends on your pedals and amp actually.... and besides, one of my fav. guitarist uses it

i get good results from the Invader, this pickup would serve players who watch their EQ, especially the lower frequencies.

Heh.. the fund is 1/10 it's way through. Hope to get it soon...

Is $150 the price for both, or just the bridge? I bought some Tesla Plasma IIIs yesterday at $150 for both. Are they better pickups for rock or metal?

 

[subversion]

there are no fixed set of performances for any pickups pertaining to the music genre; some pickups perform appropriately even though they are, by default, not meant for an intended performance. eg: my Duncan JAZZ pickup is hot enough for metal-type distortion performace.
