Do you think there is a loss of volume/tone when the Humbuckers are split for sc options? I just finished putting in a set of 59/JB into a Schecter C/SH-1. Too early in the morning to play without headphones! Sucks! Look sweet to Zebra in front and double Black in back. I can't really tell with headphones on. Sounds about the same as my CS Thinline with a 59 in the neck. I love that P/U in that guitar. That why I choose it again. Same 251/2 scale, bright tonewoods. I really wasn't gonna go with the JB. I was thinking 59-59 or maybe 59-Pearly-Gates. But I didn't want to wait 2-weeks for the bridge pup. The other two were in stock. Trying out the new Dimarzio's next, maybe today. Have one other guitar in need of pups. A Custom Tele FMT. They come with Duncans now, but mine is a 93 with the Fender pups, not to bad, but not GREAT. I need the WOW effect! Dimarzio's are going in there being they sound alright split?

Rivera Chubster Revisited (and the Firebird)
I finally got the MV over 3 on the Rivera and let me say, this thing has some serious balls for a 1x12. That deep cab really puts out some low end. I was going to buy an Avatar extension cab, and decided I don't really need it.

strat pup suggestions
i am restoring a fender american standard guitar. when i got it, it was ugly...had a clear black pickguard with a strobe light behind it...some previous owner had painted it with some krylon...you get the picture. i need some pups for this thing, but i don't know what to get since i'm not really a fender guy. i'm looking for that srv tone (of course) but i don't know which model most closely approximates it. any help would be nice.

Amp Choices Blues and Classic Rock
I want a little ol' combo tube amp that majors in early and smooth overdrive and minors in acceptable cleans. Tones reaching from La Grange style to Ritchie Blackmore and the to U2's Edge while still being SRV-able and EVH-able as well with pedals of course..

New score! Big bad pics!
Hi all, it's been a while since something has happened on my GAS front but I've now seriously moved my barcase twenty cm closer to victory! I'd been looking for a new, different axe and something of really A quality. After a month of wait I got this last monday:
Sorry for the pics, but these will have to do. Here's some more before a deeper review:
