baka may mabait na nilalang dyan na gustong bitawan ang Dark Star nila, ako'y naghihingalo na sa kakahanap... hahaha

or kung may mabait na maka-ispat ng isa, paki na lang oh, bayaran ko na lang sa inyo, hehehe...

napaka-elusive ah! wew!

done na bro, a friend bought it for me... will be picking it up tomorrow or next week... now the only thing I need now is funds for restoration... ill start with refretting then last na yung repainting... but as we speak, i'm very happy with the way things are going... parang sunod-sunod na silang dumadating at nangyayari...

A good day to you mga sir, May I just ask for your opinions regarding Entwistle Darkstar pickups.  Advisable ba i-install ito sa basswood body guitar?would the pick up's sound fit such? I have a Dean Vx and I play classic to modern heavy rock with it.. thanks in advance

I've  tried a pair of Darkstars with an Ibanez RG that has basswood body.

IMHO, great sounding pickups. good on clean and dirt. you can never beat that at that price point. sulit yan.

This is what I got from Keith of Entwistle

The Dark Star is available with ceramic magnets as well as a neodymium version (the Dark Star ND). The ceramic version does sound darker because it has lost highs. The Dark Star ND bridge and the HDN bridge are the same pickup but the HDN neck has less windings than the Dark Star ND neck so it is a little less powerful and a little brighter. The reason for this is to balance it better to the HDN bridge because, as you have probably experienced, a bridge pickup tends to sound bass light and a little less powerful than a neck. If you  pluck a bottom E string you will see that its vibrations get bigger as you move away from the bridge which means that the string is putting more energy into the neck pickup, especially the low frequency fundamentals and harmonics.
 
Best of luck with your journey through the world of tone.
 
Best regards,
 
Keith

Got me a Darkstar bridge pickup and I installed it as soon as I got home. Took me a couple of hours to figure out how to install it. I say it's worth the upgrade. :)

guys, tanong ko lang, i'm down to 2 choices na lang
yung darkstar based sa DM SD from what i have read, so no to that, too much, not versatile clear and clean enough for me

entwistles HDN set
artec GCH-2 set

ano po pinag kaiba nila? which is better?
i'm looking for a clear, warm, high output pickup.
basswood body, floyded guitar

The darkstar neck model is a tad too bassy for my taste but all in all a great pickup. And it's volume is on par with my x2n. :)

Here's my Entwistles... HDN Set for my Ibanez RG320DXFM



All i can say is they are very clear!! for the bridge pup, may slight wah sound when bending high notes! astig! swirl sounding guitar according to others.

For the neck naman, they are piezo like cleans! pwede pang acoustic sound! ganda!

the guitar i recently got has an HDN neck pickup. i like it but i'm not too crazy about it's strong magnet pull.

But yeah it's a tight sounding pickup. nice cleans. very bright. Made the Dimebucker sound warm in the bridge oddly enough :-)
