I am talking about series at the switch when 2 humbuckers are combined. For example on a les paul, the toggle in the middle.
I already know what the parallel sounds like, as this is pretty much standard 3 way switch wiring. I would like to know about series which I have yet to try. Is it bigger, better, more full or something else.

As a new guitar hobbyist, of course the first thing I stupidly did was to go out and buy a Les Paul knockoff that I could afford.

How do the two compare, tonally?

So it's well documented that during 1978 to 1984 that Tom Anderson built guitars for Schecter right?

I'm in New Zealand, and I've just spotted THIS!

Been putzing around with new pickups in one of my favorite Strats an '88 MIJ White 57 Reissue. This guitar was routed by the previous owner for a bridge humbucker but I wanted to try it with a Tele bridge pickup.

....and there's a pic of my cab that I had Scott mod for me on there. His pic came out a lot better than the one's I took. Cool.

Great forum by the way!Im reconditioning a Gibson SB bass from the early 70's. I know Ill never find orig pups ,so can anyone reconend a single coil equivilent or mini bass h bucker,4 string.TX,Mike

Hi,

Ok...we all have GAS and it seems that as soon a you guy something you get GAS again (or you still have it!)...what is the one guitar that you've always had GAS for but you've never gotten?

Yay! My Atomic Reactor 112 is here, and it is everything I hoped it would be! It took a few minutes to put the PODxt docking template together, then I dropped it in, turned it on, and immediately started cranking out preset after preset of delicious tubed-up tone.

Yeah it´s no guitah..but I think a lil change is ok

OK – last post – promise……..
Tried this thread before, but it ended up blank.....doh

Played the same guitar through an a/b box to a AD120VTX 2x12(Neodogs) and a AD60VTH with 2x12 V30 Loaded Avatar open back. Both had the same preamp settings. The V30's were louder, more articulate and had a broader frequency response both in clean and under gain. The Neo's on the otherhand, though not bad sounding, sounded a bit sterol and cardboard like to me. I'm sure that as they break in this will change some, but I was so much more impressed with the V30's. The open back Avatar set about 3 feet from the wall produced a multi dimentional sound that really thickened it up. John, this is where the Marshall settings finally came to life. Dave at Avatar was right about using a couple v30's for this amp, it sings! Next on the list is to a/b my Eminenece loaded closed cab with the Avatar. Story at eight..........

Somebody tell me about these amps...Lew, Gary, John...where are you guys?

87 Charvel Model 6, black cherry. Dead mint, completely stock. If you don't know, it's a maple neck thru, w/ poplar wings. Board is rosewood w/ MOP sharkfins. The neck and headstock are bound. Pickups are Jackson J-50BC/J-200/J-200. Includes OHSC (tweed). Tradewise, I'm looking for a japanese Ibanez S model or Sabre, or perhaps an RG. Basically something higher end with a Wizard or Wizard II neck.

I have a 57 reissue strat and im trying to get some pickups that have at least some shredding capabilities.I know i wont be able to pull of Real humbucker style from simple single coils.Im thinking of SD hot rails and Lil screaming demon.Are they good for soloing?

Hey all!

Like, on a Les Paul pickup, what does the chrome pickup cover do to the sound? If anything? Are they just there to make it look nice or do they have some sort of magnetic effect on the strings?
