Recently dropped a Hotrails PU in the bridge position and I have been on a quest to figure out what PU's I want to drop in the neck and middle positions of my Strat. I keep coming back to the SSL-4 and SSL-5's. My overall goal here is versatility and a nice, fat, warm tone. I play in two bands--Clasic rock and blues. Any thoughts, feedback or suggestions appreciated.
Thanx!

i just got my Agile AL2500, and the thing is CRAZY...for $254(including shipping) this thing is WELL worth it. the pickups aren't even 1/2 bad either..jsut as good maybe even better then my EMG HZ H4's in my other guitar. i really do love this guitar...it's WAY better then i expected and looks REALLY REALLY classy...only flaw was the binding on the tip of the headstock was a little rough in one spot..but really...who cares lol...Agile is most definitly worth the price!
Take some pic's for us. I love new stuff....mine or other peoples...doesn't matter. Congrats.
Very cool man, I need to pick up an LP from them soon. Pics!

Can anyone tell me more about this pickup? Comparisons to Duncans would help, too.
I can't offer any help, but I am quite interested in the resulting conversation, because I am currently shopping all of the various pickups offered by both companies in the so called 'PAF' ballpark.
If you have not already, try the search function, I don't know much about this pickup myself, but I know it's been discussed on the forum more than once.

Hi everyone!
I was just planning on buying a new set of strings, and maybe a new volume pot for my EMGs.. I was wondering how much stuff like that costs around the globe, and do those prices affect your maintenance in any way?
I have to pay about $ 10/8 ? for a set of strings, unless I go with steel strings, which cost way more. This makes me change strings less often, and keep them clean better.
Oh, I reside in Finland, north Europe.

what is a leslie rotating speaker worth? i know theres tons of pedals that replicate the sound, but i have never ran across a real original leslie until now. they are askin $400 for it and it has been sitting in an old warehouse for years. is there anything i should check on it before buying it? what kind of problems are common to them? i am not very familiar with them at all so any info about them would be greatly appreciated.
It's best to browse eBay to find out what the various types of Leslies are, and how much they cost. Quality runs from full-blown, furniture quality restorations down to units ready to be parted out. There's still a good a good supply of parts available for repairs.
Most real Leslies are one of two types: the big wooden cabinets, and the black vinyl combo types.

i ran into another problem with contradicting schematics. on both the seymour duncan and the one in my book that is a 3 pickup 2 tone, 1 volume schematic, the bridge pickup gets the 3rd position lug, the middle gets the 2nd one, and the meck gets the first. i have a superswitch schematic that says the middle pickup gets #1, neck gets #2, and bridge gets 3. that doesnt make sense! so which is right? is there a misprint on the superswitch schematic, or is it because its a different layout than standard and i should go by it?
bizzy bump
It's a different layout than the normal switch. I'm a little confused by what you want, but I'll guess. If you want the neck selected in one end of the switch, the bridge at the other, and the middle in the... middle. In that case, choose a one lug bank on the super switch, the bridge pickups goes to lug 1, the middle to lug 3, and the neck to lug 5. The lug 0 runs hot to the volume. Thing is, positions 2 and 4 will do nothing. Nada. If you want to have a normal strat 3 pickup, 5 way switch setup, I can do you a diagram to match the super switch.

I'm dabbling in the realm of picking up new pick-ups for my Epi LP standard but i've only just begun. What combos of pickups, pick up-selector, paint,etc... has anyone done to their own? Anything! i just wanna read about things i can do to get some ideas. Thanks
I put APH-IIn and JB bridge with .022 sprague caps and have never looked back.I do have a Demon I might like to drop in sometime when I have absolutely nothing to do.
i replaced the pots with 500k cts, .022 orange drop caps, replaced the bridge and tail piece (not a direct replacement so you might wanna skip that) i put antiquitys in it when i had it. i put 59's in it when i sold it.

I played a freaking 20 minutes long guitar solo in Bmi, Bmi with raised 7th, Bmi with raised 6th, and Bmi with both raised 6th and 7th. It was one of the most rewarding and intense things I've ever done on guitar and it made me realize how much I have improved and that start to really know my way around the fretboard. Just wanted to share this with ya all don't know if anyone cares but it was really something
I care. It would be nice to hear more of these kind of post, than a bunch of kooks talking about equipment all the time.

Here it is. I used small diameter aluminum and brass tubing to make a ring around the mother of pearl and abalone inlays. The alumnum looks like silver and the brass looks like a gold ring. Its a very cool accent to give your neck a bit more quot;blingquot; I wish my camera was a little better to show the details a bit better but, I am highly impressed how it turned out.Thank you JJ!!!
BTW, the inlays that you cant really see are the mother of pearl. They dont react well to a camera flash. Pictures just dosent do this justice.
you know what may look cool as a kind of simple/slick inlay...

Alrighty...So I've had the EMB for awhile now and have a pretty good feeling for it and know how to tweak it, so I wanted to update my previous post/quot;reviewquot; and also provide a few clips.
First and foremost, I gotta say that the clip(s) aren't that great (and I'm not talking about the usual quot;excuse my sloppy playingquot; type of stuff...but due excuse it anyway ) and this is due to several reasons:
1) My recording setup isn't that great. All I've got to record with right now is a minidisc recorder and a few pairs of binaural microphones.
