Do you really not need string trees if you are using the tuners with graduated posts?
no trees needed! i had a strat with sperzels like that and it didn't need them, i just added them b/c it looked odd without them to me lol.

Hi there!
I've got a Les Paul Classic '01 mod. I want to change the bridge pickup as I think it is too bright for my taste. (I actually like the neck pickup!).
I was thinking about the Custom, Pearly Gates or the PAF' 59.
I've tried the JB mod. and found too bright as well.
Any help or other suggestions are welcome.

I'm thinking of replacing the bridge and tuners on my standard strat. I was wondering what the best tremolo style bridge is for tuning stability? I have the 6 screw kind if that matters.

I have the 6 screw kind if that matters.I assume you have a MIM Standard Strat? If so, and you want max tone and tuning stability, get a Callaham tremolo Mexican upgrade kit, make sure your nut is cut perfectly and then make sure your tuners have no slip.

Thanks to the Guitar Player mag that I saw on the news stand, I discovered that my Olympic white JV strat looks just like Hendrix's '68, woodstock strat.
Is that cool or what?
It's just needs a few more scratches and...

Ok I normally use the D'Addario EXL 110s (the nickelwound 10-46 set)... but I want to try out something new somehow... how are the nickelwound Slinkys compared to them?
thanks
a little brighter, and to me, a little less tension

Hey chief, have you tried EL-34's in your rectoverb yet? I'm probably going to be ordering new tubes for my amp next week, and was wondering if you'd tried any EL-34's and what kind of character they give the amp that the 6L6's don't...I think I'll probably go with the 6L6's for the bass response, but before I made up my mind wanted some advice from someone with practical experience
My amp is a series I so there's no bias switch for EL34/6L6 operation, I can only run 6L6 tubes.
I have a Tremoverb and since switching to EL34's I can't see myself switching back (alright I might give some good 6L6's a try). My amp originally came with the Mesa 430 6L6's which I found to be very harsh and brittle sounding. The cleans were very glassy but I couldn't get the sound I was looking for on clean or dirty channels. I switched to EH EL34's (the preamp tubes were unchanged) and the amp sounded great. Everything was more round and full. The cleans warmed up but retained the shimmer. The crunch was better than ever, not so scooped sounding. Good bass, mids and highs. The EL34's have provided me with exactly the sound I was looking for from a recto. However I may have to try some good 6L6's (JJ6L6's) and see what they sound like, from what I've heard the stock Mesa 430's aren't the best.

So I got this sweet deal on a JCM 900 50 watt head. You may have seen the post last week.
Anyway, I am taking it in to be re-tubed and totally checked out. I was recommended Svetlana EL34s and EH 12AX7s.
The guy I am taking it to can order Svetlanas and EH's but he has JJ's in stock.

I've heard about them over on the LP forum, but don't know how good their rep is (or is not)
They have an Yngwie Strat in stock. I can't find one anywhere locally. And a 48 hour quot;trialquot; period. So if it's a dud , I can send back. None of my local dealers will order one for me to try (understandable, but aggravating).
I've never read a bad word about them ... all good reports

So, played my Behringer today at jazz band practice and it's definately going to do the job. I was running into the low input, pre volume around 4, master around 6. Sounded great!!! Very clean, chunky, percussive, jazz sound. Hopefully, I'll have something new by the weekend, I'm dieing using a 10 watt Wal-Mart amp.
