My friend and I have gone through all the humbuckers that are currently on the market as well as a few that aren’t. I have original 59 PAFs as well as many others. So recently I started a new build and was going put my originals on it. Suffice it to say the Revel pickup’s are in the guitar now and it’s my no 1. So what about all my other pickups all the popular brands and models? Well, they are all relegated to the spare pickup bin. These Revel pickup’s sound like the best set of double white PAFs I ever had. The overtones are great and do they ever have balls. So I had to have them in this guitar. I would recommend Revel pickup’s to anyone who is looking for vintage tone with the kick of a great hot PAF. Just Sayin !!!

tapped. I put a countersunk mini a la Gilmour to switch from low tap to high tap, and a blender pot for the neck and am over the MOON! It is clear and they ring beautifully. Jesse was super, offered a lot of advice, and was a pleasure to deal with! He makes amazing quality pickups that I've purchased more of and have also reviewed and will continue to look to him and Revel when I need something magical!!!!

10. Super reactive in all positions, but beautiful colored cleans on the neck, driving leads on the bridge and a really great blend in the middle. Keep up the good work.

g dust. It sounds like a Strat should, dynamic, deep, warm, woody, and the twang is there when you want it. Turn it up, and they howl and growl. I had to put my guitar down to write this review...

balance can be fine tuned between the outer stings and the inner strings. These two sets have replaced the stock PUs from a Tony Franklin PJ bass, and a PJ set from Joe Barden Electronics. The Franklin bass now has some real life and character to it and the bass with the replaced JBE's now have even, balanced output between all of the strings. Also, the best thing about Jesse here is that he actually had to the JBE replacement set custom sized in order to fit the Daion Power Mark II that they were installed in. Regular Pbass neck position split coils and then a neck sized j bass PU for the bridge position. Perfection.

reat to work with and made a few helpful recommendations (I'm a guitarist, not a bass player or an electrician, so I really know nothing about 4-string things). The pickup sounds fantastic, showed up quickly, and looks real nice, all for a steal of a deal compared to other builders. Now I just need to find some time to do some routing so I can add a Revel split coil.

a bunch of tone buzzwords, but they just sound great. Got em installed and immediately confirmed that Jesse’s is the best tele bridge pickup wind by far to my ears. Still very much a telecaster but thicker, clear, and gets gritty when you really take a cut at it. I love that neck pickup too. I’m a sucker for strat neck tones over telecasters and that's the Big Six, no gimmicks or overthinking, just excellent strat tone out of a humbucker-sized pickup…the sound and construction both exceeded my expectations. The middle position is also useful and varied throughout the volume pot sweep, can get a unique acoustic quality to clean strumming. What I really want now is another guitar to try Jesse’s P90s.

em so that the pickups were in-phase (completely my fault) and Jesse helped me figure it out. He was quick to respond and was some of the best customer service I've experienced. Now that I have them wired correctly, they sound phenomenal in all 3 positions. I love the clarity and warmth that I get in the neck position. I feel like most of the time you have to sacrifice a little of one to get the other but not here. I'll be ordering another set for my next project for sure

and got back to me quickly. I could not be happier with his service, honesty, and workmanship. I would highly recommend Rebel Custom Pickups to anyone needing pickups or repairs. Great job Jesse. Thank you. Joe A.

e best fit for my play-style. He was not wrong! This pickup has plenty of telecaster attributes -- bite and brightness, plus snarl when called upon. Using finger-style, the pickup will dial down its bite -- but just enough to let you know it is there...waiting. Kind of like being in a muscle-car and you know there's plenty more power if you push the gas pedal. If you use a pick play-style and like to drive your tone, I hope your seat belt is fastened.

clarity and high end gives them that more single coil sparkle. You can always warm them up by lowering the tone knob. I also recommend a treble bleed with these to retain the high end, especially if using 1 meg pots. I played around with pickup height quite a bit and feel the sweet spot is around 3/16 of an inch. These pickups have become my whole sound. They have the clarity and articulation of a good single coil with the output and depth of a humbucker. There is nothing I would change about them. I can't wait to get my wrhb jazzmaster pickups.

re the best crunchy blues/blues rock pickups, no matter the position, but they find another level when in series wired with a 4-way switch. These can play Pixies, they can play those Dwight Yoakam leads, they can play Black Keys, dial back the tone and they rip out Gypsy Jazz. Plus you're buying from a great guy who will take care of you. If this review seems disjointed...I kept stopping midway through to go play these things.

about 3 months now and through this time, these P90’s have become my favorite jazz pickup. I’ve come to love them so much, these have been moved/installed in my main gig jazz bass. These pups thump! The tone is a hybrid of jazz, precision, & P90 (60% jazz, 20% precision, 20% P90). I prefer the ergonomics of the jazz bass, but the standard jazz pups tend lack that midrange, warm darkness that is characteristic of the precision sound. With these pickups, you get the best of both worlds AND the added bonus of that P90 tone (crisp & clear w/a hint of overdrive). I commonly recommend these pickups not only to friends, but to other bass players via online groups/forums. These pickups are incredible!!!!

I will definitely get my next pickups from him!

that I learned that P90 jazz pickups were an actual thing. No one else makes these! Given that this was my first buy with Revel, I was apprehensive about the wait time. Totally worth it! If you’re looking to add more bite and body to your Jbass, you can’t go wrong with these pickups!

remely rich creamy tones out of the humbucker and a serious bottom. You can literally dial in so many tones (plenty of Tele twang) that it makes it incredibly versatile tool. Jesse’s attention to detail and the quality of his pickups is evident when you unpack them - they are simply something that was made with a lot of attention to detail and love. We’re extremely happy with the results. Thanks, Jesse, for your help. Always prompt in your email replies, and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again!
