I just bought a brand new 59 neck and a used JBJ for my import Hamer. My question is, do I just follow the standard quot;2 humbucker, 2 volume, 1 tone, 3-way switchquot; diagram and solder 2 of the JB wires together?
Or is there a different configuration for the 2 conductor and 4 conductor pickups?

Jeff Beck 's Gear on quot;Truthquot;
I can't stop listening to this CD. Amazing. This truly is the blueprint for hard rock guitar. Is Beck using a Strat through Marshall's? You know, he doesn't get the acclaim that Messrs. Page and Clapton receive, which I guess is due to the haphazard direction he let his career go in, but damn, the man can play guitar!

Cool Marshall amps demonstration
Yeah, here's a cool Marshall demonstration video, with a very good guitar player called Chris George, he's testing some different Marshall amps. Watch it, it's very cool!

Dark Tranquillity
hey guys, i just saw the main home page of the SD site. i never knew Christopher Amott uses the demon now... wow, he gets some brutal tone out of that thing. which reminds me, i once saw an input about Dark Tranquillity on the front page about using Duncan pups... does anyone remembers which models they were and which of the two guitarists uses the specific models?

New pickups for my Sg Melody Maker
Hello everyone new guy here. Looks like I've come to the right place! I have a project Gibson Sg Melody Maker I'm putting together. Mahogany, routed for single coils. I'm looking to make it different sounding than my Sg standard and Sg junior. I'm pretty much sold on putting a JB junior in the bridge but I'm looking to get more bite and glassines from the neck position than your usuall sg neck pickup. Any recommendations? I was thinking maybe a Duckbucker. Also should I put 500k pots in like Gibsons usually have in them? I'm pretty much starting from scratch.

Vai's quot;wahquot; at the end of quot;Tender Surrenderquot;.
In the last minute of Steve Vai's quot;Tender Surrenderquot;, he's doing something unusual with the wah. It seems more pronounced, and steadily increases going into the last seconds of the song. The notes almost sound like they're begging for mercy.

Les Paul
My new Lew Paul arrived yesterday while I was out of town. Got my hands on it this afternoon. This is the first Les Paul I've owned, although I've played many. I've always loved Les Pauls, but have been a harsh critic of Gibson's quality in recent years. I had even decided about 8 months ago that I was going to have a Heritage custom built because of Gibson's quality issues.

Looking for Vintage HB base plate....
I've picked up a used '59 pickup that someone has enlarged the screw holes and made it none too useful. I need another vintage style humbucker base plate from SD (1 15/16quot; pole space) that I can use to place rebuild the pickup onto from this damage one I've got now.
So if you've got a dead vintage pickup ('59, Pro II, PG or Seth Lover) that you might be throwing out....don't. I'll pay the shipping through USPS to get it and try this little project.
