Just because Scottosan will not publish his pickup website... I will. Great reading pickups (article sounds good). @200 bucks per pickup.

Good stuff!! It has taken awhile but I have started using the loop in an amp if there is one. Some are better than others with Friedman, Metropoulos and Soldano being some of the best.
Don't know the seller but you can get this one for close to the same price:

"The moratorium, issued Thursday, protects homeowners living within the perimeter of the fire and in adjoining ZIP codes from losing their policies for one year, starting from when Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Wednesday."
I am also heavily influenced by the 60s British Invasion and that is one of the tones I am after which might not be what everyone is looking for in a Marshall or any of the other choices.
The challenge for me when it comes to high gain amps and opinions is I might not like the heavy distorted tones you like. For example no screaming, no chugging. I have a MKII 50 watt and I sold 3 Friedman's after it arrived. (Smallbox, Dirty Shirley and BE100). Nothing wrong with any of those...
