If that SB/AE-1 set is drop-in for a Steinberger, then I will probably go after them. | ||

I'm really hoping to drop them in my Starfire! Perfect fit! Let me know if you are really serious as we don't need to bid each other up. Edwin | ||

Edwin, it's at about $225 now with shipping included. If I were to chase it, it would only be a couple bucks up from there. If you're willing to go past $300, then you probably will outlast me. With all the activity thus far, I would be surprised if there isn't a flurry on the tail end. | ||

It's insane! Do I want to spend more than $400 for them? I doubt it. Edwin | ||

I don't know if these are still offered but, if I were to consider going above $400, I suspect that they couldn't be much more than $600 to get a new set through a dealer. I don't think a set of pickups improves much from travelling on the order of 10,000 miles and aging for 10-15 years. | ||

The pickups themselves wouldn't nearly be that expensive, but with filters and all, it gets up there. $503 is just way too rich for my blood, though. For that money, I would get some pickups and a used superfilter and take the superfilter guts and put them in my Starfire. As it is now, I'll try to find just the pickups and make a buffer and keep the superfilter external. Oh, well, I hope the person who won them enjoys them! Edwin |
