I find that with floating FR guitars, there is a marked reduction in the bass frequencies and some of the mids as well, resulting in a very trebly sounding guitar. Which is the best humbucker (in trembucker spacing) that would best compensate for this loss of bass and mids?

Psychedelic Effects
Well in my current playing style, I am longing for some new effects. I am currently considering EHX(One of my favorite pedal brands) for effects. I am looking for Spacey, swelling, phased out etc.... Any recommendations?

Bridge pickups
Well, as some of you may know, I recently purchased a Phat Cat for the neck of my Epiphone. As some of you may also know, the machine heads are cheap pieces of pearloid... quot;excrementquot;, to keep everything family friendly. I was getting a little fret buzz, so I decided to raise the tailpiece a bit. When loosening the strings, the pearloid button on one of my machine heads cracked and broke off (again). I just decided to remove the strings altogether, as I'm going to have my Phat Cat installed in the near future.

For Sale: LR Baggs X-Bridge Piezo system for Strat
Hey guys, I've changed my mind about some of the specs on my project guitar, so I need to get the 6 screw vintage version of the X-Bridge. This is an awesome piezo system, it really does sound like a good acoustic. It's a drop-in replacement for a two point trem with standard Strat spacing, or two post American standard trem. The wires are completely hidden, so your guitar will maintain a stock look. It's almost brand new, I installed it and tried it out, but it doesn't have more than an hour or two of playing time. All the wires are still at their original lengths, and it comes with all the parts. You may want to use an onboard preamp unit like the Baggs Ctrl-X, or some type of floor unit for best results. These retail for $120 new, I'm asking $85 shipped. I'll be out of town until Sunday, but I thought I'd post this now in case anyone is interested. I can get some pics for you when I get back, but for now, check out: from : localhost/www.lrbaggs.com/html/products..._xbridge.shtml

EMG final decision
I finally saved enough money to go active on my pups for my jackson kelly. I was going to get an X2N, but now since i got more $$$ I better go active i think.
