PWM on a Babicz.. anyone have that?
Lookin to install a PWM on a babicz identity for a friend sometime...
as you all know, it's a pinless design and that bridge is movable to adjust intonation... anyone have any experience whether using the K&K in there will affect anything if ever the bridge had to be moved?

One of the advantages of the K&K is that the pickup is relatively flexible in its location. I contrast it to the PUTW, which is very sensative to precise location and it, the PUTW, responds a lot to very small changes in position.
The K&K, on the other hand, gives good sound without being so sensative to precise location. I'm making this point because adjustments to the bridge for intonation will likely be quite small. IMO, such small adjustments to the bridge position would not require repositioning the K&K elements. So, get the intonation right; then, install the K&K, and probably any future adjustments to the bridge won't be a problem. -Raf

yeah i did think it'd be ok with a lil adjustment sincei've done some weird isntallations with the PWM and they still sounded pretty darn good!
I'm just a lil concerned if there's anything underneath that also moves when the bridge above moves.. screws or bolts or anything...and the PWM comes in the way or something like that... but well I did email jeff babicz as well.. hopefully he can put my concerns to rest.

So Jeff replied and he said something which clicked...
if they can put an ibeam in there from the imix system the K&K shouldn't be a problem... and yeah Raf you're right the K&K is more forgiving than the ibeam... so it's looking good =)

mmm but if you took out the bridge screws, wouldn't the bridge start to move around? so 2 lil wooden sticks will go all the way through the bridge screws?
mmm i wonder what it looks like down there... so i wouldn't need to drill mini holes in the saddle slots as alignment help then.. that's good fer sre
