I don't think that I can identify what part of tone most of those actually stand for. I just know what I hear.

Farty
Flubby

(generally used as adjectives in relation to the low end of a Rectumfrier )

Gay

For good mids -- quot;gruntquot;

And I can't believe everybody forgot....

....BITE.

Searing
Burning
Did I see GLASSY in there? That's in reference to Strat pickups like the SSL-1 or Ant Surfer...alnico 5.

I have a new description that struck me about the Pearly Gates neck pickup but I can't get it down to one word. It's tone kind of reminds me of the resonance of a Big Glass Bottle when you hit it.

I mean a really big bottle, BTW...maybe 2' tall!

All 80's movie referrences aside, quot;Rawquot; is one that often gets thrown around.
