There are sound clips on the site although on speakers, rather than headphones, I wasn't impressed with the similarities to an original. But past experience suggests the playback is system really makes a difference so I am withholding any judgement for the moment.

I heard about these a few months ago.
Read this thread for some of the best updates: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f38/darks ... ps-872546/
Both users MPU and SGD Lutherie are making Darkstar-like pickups. I'm personally waiting for the SGD ones to come out. Roger's look nice and seem to sound good too, but I'd prefer to order one of the SGD ones when those are ready. They're stateside, which makes things easier for me as far as shipping costs go. Also, it sounds like he's planning on using rails instead of poles, so string spacing won't be an issue with those pickups.

Thanks for posting that link. Interesting read.
I rarely have the patience to wade through TB anymore.
The rails vs posts is an interesting debate. The posts don't always match up perfectly
In fact, when I set up my JS 2 a couple of weeks ago, I put some shims between some saddles as an experiment. But I think the height adjustment ability is useful if you change the type of strings
of you put on, yes/no?

Are pole pieces adjustable? Are we supposed to adjust them?

Some years back I showed some shameful newbieness on that subject on the dudepit
i was whining that my G string suddenly was going dead really quickly. Mgod or one of the other wizemen asked if I bad raised the pup pole. Sure enough, that's what I had done.
I wouldn't have too much of an opinion about that. Among the things I'm truly expert at is making my Guilds, etc. useless by adjusting the pole pieces.
