Pickups, tone, ect...

[ELVIS]

First off...

Here's a great example of some good pups...

Yeah that's pretty buttery. Is it a true single coil? Humbuckers just seem to lose that kind of tone.

Stacked humbucker...

Not unlike an HS3...

[Nitro Express]

Wow that sounds great! I have a Strat with some great sounding single coils but there's been a few times I just couldn't use it from hum coming from neon signs and lights.

[ashstralia]

My best single coils are the Bill Lawrence ones in the Kramer; just the best drivey turbo strat sound. Most people dial in way to much gain... You lose the character and nuances. Listen to the classic tones of Angus Eddie Jimi etc.. It's not that gainy. It's power tubes pushing big volts. :)

[ashstralia]

The old fella rips it old school!

I'd need just a tad more gain... :biggrin:

[ELVIS]

[ashstralia]

I should have said 'power tubes being slammed by big volts' in post #7.

Still hungover. ;)

[ELVIS]

I understood...;)

[bluemustard]

I just sent a pic of my guitar to a familymember.He said nice guitar but then started talking bout

[ELVIS]

Hmmm...

[bluemustard]

The guy is loaded so wouldn't be surprised if he has the shit.Gonna see him soon LOL

[bluemustard]

What I mean to say..if you have pick ups from 69 strat.How much is that worth?

[bluemustard]

He also had shit from Texas.

[cadaverdog]

He my cousin. He loves Jimi! My cousin Al.


Needs more cowbell. Or less reverb. Sounded alright to me but I'm not a guitarist. He's got the tone down pretty good.

Thx! I ve just seen him focused on that tone for over 20 years.He nailed it but cowbell is another story.And so is songwriting.

What are the odds?

[Kristy]

Stinkvey must be so proud of his boring offspring these days:


Check out that tone!

One of his only songs that can be said to resemble anything of a four minute popsong "Heaven Tonight" came on the iPud as I was doing cardio. I then swore at myself that I password locked it making it too much of a pain in the ass to skip :)

[Seshmeister]

I really don't think Kristy would like that song at all, I'll put it here for review purposes... :)

From 1989, about a hundred thousand donuts ago...

A four minute song and the guitar solo is almost a quarter of it. Halfway through at 2:38 you can actually see the only woman in the crowd(the singers girlfriend?), reach out to try and make him stop! :biggrin:

Horrible. Somebody forgot to tell him he's not a rock star.

[Guitar Shark]

LOL, could that song be a bigger cliche?

[Nickdfresh]

And some people wonder how Nirvana and Pearl Jam came in and grunged everything up. That video is exhibit "A" of the death of rock...

I mean, I think Malmsteen thought "This Is Spinal Tap" was a serious documentary and a stellar one at that...

You got that right. Cock-rock pseudo-metal for white suburbia.

[Nickdfresh]

Oh God, it came on again. This time I took off the iPod, punched in the code and skipped this Yngwie wank-fest.... :D

[vandeleur]

Can he still do the kick now he is large and lardy , or was it a nervous tick .
How pointless was that solo , it had er no point lol

[Hardrock69]

I wasted valuable seconds of my time glancing at the photo of that video.

Why waste any time actually watching the thing?

I can get more entertainment value from sleeping.
