Wow, first bogner batteries, now pickups. Bogner is really expanding.
As many paf style pickups as there are, there are not many options with 4 conductor wiring

He should make a set with the covers etched in the same design as the Helios control panel. Badass.

I think this is pretty shabby of Bogner. Reinhold has no real background with vintage pickups, techniques, etc. He's just cashing in on his name. C'mon. Stick to your amps where you have the experience. Lame 
Maybe Bogner is trying to be like Suhr. Have to stay in the game. Hopefully Friedman will not come out with pedals and pickups. What's next,

Seriously? What's "shabby" about it and what makes you think in the decades that Reinhold has been in the MI industry that he hasn't dissected and analyzed the makings of pickups? It's certainly a lot less complex than the circuitry he's been dealing with in amps.
I think it's great.

Just another option, a bit pricey but not too bad. Bogner knows tone and pickups are part of the equation. He doesn't need decades of winding pickup experience, they are really not that difficult to engineer or make. I'd give them a shot and I like pretty much all of his amps.

Suhr went beyond guitars and started building amps. No one said that was "shabby"?
Turned out to be some nice amps also makes nice pickups.

Bogner is really branching out.

I wonder if Bogner is producing these in house or if they're having a mass producer make these for them and just stamping their name on them, Hopefully its the former.

Sorry Bob. NOT! They will be sourced out just like the pedals. Bogner has a total of about 7 employees if that. They can't even keep up with the amp backlog. Nothing more than sticking their name on something to sell it. Maybe whoever is building them will be good.Bob Savage":2ibfyzk3 said:glip22":2ibfyzk3 said:I think this is pretty shabby of Bogner.

Not sure I understand the problem but I can tell you that Bogner puts their name on nothing without it being filtered through the ears of Reinhold and several other great great sets of ears.
Are you stating that the pedals (which ones?) were designed by a third party or just that Bogner contracted with another builder to assemble them?

I think it's hilarious you think you're qualified to assess who does or doesn't have the knowledge to make pickups, especially without trying the product first

You're right. It just put a bad taste in my mouth for some odd reason I guess. I can see a guitar builder making pickups but it just seemed cheesy to me that Bogner would now do it. It comes across to me as gimmicky. Cashing in on the name. Same thing with them releasing a modded Marshall. Hard to explain. I see Bogner in a different light than I did before if that makes any sense. Maybe I'm justjsp":n5tiv5bk said:glip22":n5tiv5bk said:I think this is pretty shabby of Bogner.
