Carouser

Old Bones Pickups

£120

The Carouser is a high output humbucker, geared toward metal players who are looking for something capable of crushing riffs, but with the versatility of being able to deliver articulate lead lines too. These pickups are made with oversized ceramic magnets, and slightly larger bobbins than standard humbuckers. This allows them to have a taller coil more similar to a strat style pickup, enabling genuine single coil tones when split. The ceramic magnets and rails deliver a powerful, focused tone which enables those crushing metal riffs to come through.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as OLD BONES PICKUPS LTD, number 13626042. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
