I installed this pickup in my Reverend Slingshot Custom today and I'm really digging it. It's not as bright as I expected it would be in this guitar. It has a more midrangey, singing quality, but that's sort of just how this guitar is. Sounds amazing for big thunderous rock 'n roll rhythm stuff too. I'm way pumped about it. The dude who sold it to me lied and said the cover was white. I asked him if it was creme or white, and he said white. I managed to modify one of the Reverend P-90 covers to fit it though.

C-5 too many highs, CC better alternative?
OK, I guess that my C-5 is just a little noisy - probably being close to my computer, ect.
Any way , It's really bright and has a lot of treble, I was think of going with a A2 magnet and making it a Custom Custom. I'm wanting it to have a darker, more meaty/thick (compressed?) sound. Lows are covered by my Mesa and the CC seems to have a lot of mids so I'm thinking that should thicken up my sound. Am I on the right track. I'm just not fond of the C-5, I usually use the JB Jr in the middle for most of the bridge stuff, but being a middle pup, It's bass isn't tight.

Bad Monkey question
I want to know, my friend at the local store said the Monkey was Digitech's version of the Boss SD-1, true? IIRC i read somewhere on the net that the new Digitech D seies pedals were modeled after old DOD pedals, which pedal is the Monkey made after if that's the case?

pickup not working
I believe I have a Seynour Duncan twin stack on my strat bridge pickup. Its black and it comes with a separate toggle switch to activate either 1 or both the stacked pickups (looks like a single coil though. Best pickup for a strat bridge position with a music man amp to get a nice fat sound I installed it in the 80s and has served me well until recently (actually it got softer and then just no sound after a few days) it just died on me (no sound) . Wiring seems ok but when I touch one of the wires on the inside pickups I get some electronic click. Can someone tell me:-
1. What model it is so that I can try to rewire the whole thing again

Celestion Speakers
Hey all,
I am going to swap the Blue Marvel out of my Peavey Classic 30 and replace it with a Celestion Greenback or the G12H30. I am play an SG Standard and I am looking for that early Cream, early ZZ Top mojo. Hard rock and dirty power blues. Want tones to be warm, creamy, buttery and chewy. You think I'm heading down the right path with these two models? The stock Peavey doesn't cut it...bass is flabby.
