Re: HHx

What about xxH?



But seriously, I've been meaning to get around to CNC-ing a Nightswan body for a P90/humbucker combo. The only issue is I haven't gotten around to making the file. I was thinking about some sort of scan CAD, but I've yet to get a hold of a body for it.

Re: HHx

The EVH one pickup thing is kind of funny. He ran guitars like that for a little over 10 years, all the while still using an Ibanez with a Les Paul setup.

Since the early 90s, he's been using HH guitars, some even with a tone knob. When asked about why he started using a neck pickup, he said the original home made ones only didn't have it because he couldn't get the switching to work properly. Of course, before that he said they had one pickup because it was hard to get the amp set for both pickups to sound good, which all of us with multiple pickup guitars know is total bull****.

I kinda agree with him. It's hard to get an amp set to sound perfect with both the neck and bridge pickup . . . there's usually a little compromise one way or the other.

I have one. It's pictured on the 1st page.

Re: HHx

XXH is only acceptable on a jazz box. :P

Re: HHx

I can't play a box. My jazz strat has the tone.

With a Strat or Tele, wire the tone knob to only affect the bridge pickup. Dial in a clear neck tone, take the edge off the bridge with the tone. With humbuckers, just get the right pickups.

Re: HHx

Some toanz on the rear route. I'm real happy with it. It came out how I wanted, super stratty but classic. I'm also really happy with my new mic the md421. Finally happy with my recording setup with the apollo twin. The recorded sound sounds like my sound and not like straight balls anymore. And trolls were telling me I just had to stick the mic in front of the amp right with my pos gear.

Re: HHx

md421 is one of my favorite mics for guitars. i like that ax too, gonna put a finish on it?

Re: HHx

Thx. I thought about staining them since that probably wouldn't change the sound. It's just more work though. I read in the mic thread that you and others like the 421 and I know that you know what you're talking about so I chose it.

Re: HHx

cool, glad you like the mic! i have an esquire that i didnt put a finish on. its developed quite the patina over the years so if your thinkin of finishing it, better to do it sooner rather than later.
