Cool little Geek Story.
Many years ago, the guitar was acquired by a friend of mine, complete with a big MMEB stencil over the case. Being much younger and impetuous, he decided to wax pot it to minimise microphonics. The pickup never worked again. Disillusioned and broken hearted, he replaced it with a Seymour Duncan and dropped this into the parts box.
Financial pressures later forced the sale of the guitar and it is now owned by Liam Finn.
Another mate, on the lookout for an old Dogear for his Junior, checked this out and quickly had it working again. It is currently being fitted to said Junior and will live to scream again.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Pickup sounds cool; all angry midrange bellow. Like my overwound Lollar but less savage bite.
