What are some good humbuckers that can help emulate brown sound? I was looking at the Charvel EVH series and it just said custom made humbucker. I know he dipped his humbuckers in hot wax. I have done this and it helps amplify harmonics very well.

Any goog copy of a original PAF humbucker will get your there. I like the Seymour Duncan 59 and Seth Lover.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar! -

The truth is EVH used sevral different humbuckers over the years. If you look at the Oakland Fair Warning footage Eddie is getting great tone through what looks like a Dimarzio super distortion.
It all depends on the amp you are using. A hot amp like a 5150 or Soldano doesn't like high output humbuckers. They tend to like the weaker vintage humbuckers more. Those amps have so much gain on the front end using a weak artifically aged pickup really warms the tone up.
In the case of Marshalls, it depends on the model of the amp. It's a system. Your pickup has to match the particular amp you are using.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I shiver thinking back about all the trouble we had boosting our old Marshalls without earsplitting feedback and a wall of white noise!Comment

Back in the mid-nineties, my electroharmonix deal got pissed on by a dog. Right after that, someone told me that I couldn't even pawn it after that! I explained calmly, (while pointing at some Sears equipment on the shelf) that I really didn't care about pawning talent boosters with that thing loafing around. Then the dipshit tells me he'll trade me his Mustang for the Sears equipment!! I calmy explained that there was already a boat, a car, and a dog in the two car garage....like, "I DON'T NEED ANOTHER CAR!"
He kinda laughed, and asked me about the Danelectro. I calmy explained that the dog seemed to like it, and how the dog probably liked shitty lipstick more than he did!!
Not long after that exchange, this other dipshit lambasted the cuntdition of my old yellow guitar. I calmly explained something like, "you wanted to see it....IT'S FUCKING OLD!!!....WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT??!! JUST FOR THAT? YOU CANT EVEN LOOK AT IT!!!...."
THEN???

Very true. Back in the late 70s/early 80s people (incl. me) tended to go for higher output pick ups because of all the noise and feedback involved in getting a good high gain sound. Nowadays, the quality of high gain amps and overdrive pedals has risen far enough to get you those sounds with lower output pick ups and little noise and no feedback.

What I have is a machine that can crap out very loud vintage rock tone and at a push of the button go high gain if you want.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I have always liked Bill Lawrence pickups. But maybe that's because my sis was a sales rep for them and I got them at cost...(or free sometimes)“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

What about Seymore Duncan
78? It's through their custom shop.Last edited by theicecreamman; 07-05-2007, 11:32 PM.Comment

They do have a warm sound to them. If the pickup has warmth and good harmonic response, then damn, that's it brother!No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

They also come in Snot Green, Baby Shit Yellow, and Gay Pink. At least in the 80's they did. LOL!No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
