I had bought a rio grande BBQ for my strat....a good pickup but it doesn't seem to get that quot;chunka chunkaquot; sound I like......thinking about either one of these PUPs next...........suggestions?

Sorry, no one replyed to my previous thread, maybe i didnt make it very clear.Im wanting to know if a duckbucker in the neck and a phat-cat in the bridge would work out ok? Im wanting vintage sound and i want to try to get output levels fairly close so they dont fight each other, and i also want a pretty quiet guitar.

Well... i just bought a brand new washburn flying v body (basswood, 4-bolt neck joint). It has the pickups, controls and pots already installed and working, though it needs a bridge and tailpiece (les paul style) and of course... a neck. Should i order parts from a part house like Mighty mite or warmoth, even though ill have to pay a lot of import tax to get them over here .. or should i scour ebay?

Sometimes at band rehersals I play through a Mesa F-50 Combo. When using the gain for the hard rock/heavy metal stuff, it cuts through with ease. However, when switching to the clean tone it seems as if my playing just disappears?!

I recently got the pickups i ordered: Duncan distortion trembucker and two hot rails. I`ve got 1tone 1vol and a five way selector from my old jackson dinky. I hav`nt found any chematics just right for this, i tried the one for 1 humbucker and two single coils, 1tone 1 vol and the five way switch from : localhost//forum/images/attach/jpg.gif , instead of using the white leads from the singles I used the black hot ones from the hot rails, soldered the red and white together and soldered green and blank to ground on both, same with the trembucker. Did i do the right thing? Ive got some sound, but its very very noisy, and low output . maybe its just the grounding that`s abit out of wack? bad soldering maybe? I`ve installed mics before, but it was active emg`s, so i did`nt have to think much about grounding and stuff. I dont have very much experience, but I really wanna learn more, so i dont wanna just bring it to the store.

I managed to finish re-wiring my Edwards LP with the Jimmy Page wiring at about 2am, only to find out that I get no sound at all!

I can't believe I'm doing this guys Up for sale is my mint condition 1960 RI Gibson Les Paul Special DC. First and foremost are pics (and I took a lot of them, this guitar deserves nothing less): from : localhost/photobucket.com/albums/v298/t...is/For Sale/ I purchased this new from Saul at Centre City Music in San Diego back in March of this year. It has been played sparingly at home (mostly kept in its case) and it hasn't been taken out of the house (definitely no gigs with it).

ive got a few, even though i dont plan on going to one anytime soon...just personal knowledge...

Today I installed a Sh1B in a 1 Hum basswood super strat with a Floyd... sounds super cool. I had a JB in that guitar for years but wanted to try something with a lower output. It is perfect for what I wanted. When I play old VH it sounds about perfect using the '59. That guitar is a total mutt but has always had a nice warm sound- the '59 really brings it to life. It makes me wonder if I need to reconsider my least favorite SD pickup ever- the Screamin Demon. This is the one and only Duncan I really hated but I have always wondered if i rushed to judgement. Should have I raised it closer to the strings or lowered it? Who knows but I am happy with the '59!! How close is the '59 to the '78 (or EVH)?

An option i'd pay for? The hot option. On the vintage style SD's (buckers, and SC) if you could specify a hot option for another 15-20 dollars. This would be an overwound by approx. 40% pup. It would be ordered just like a floor shop custom. You'd have a slightly longer wait, but who cares?
