Black Winter owner.... Feedback so far????

[LazNovak]

Re: Black Winter owner.... Feedback so far????

Looking for tight bass, more output, good clean up, string to string definition when chording under gain and a cutting lead sound that doesn't get mushy on the low strings past the 12th fret (especially when on the neck pickup). All that whilst having a more brutal yet clear vibe to it.

The Winters seem the way to go judging by the reviews, recommendations and what clips are out there.

Definitely. I'm going to leave mine stock while we rehearse to get a feel for the guitar and pups. We'll be recording soon, I'll make my decision by then.

Looking forward!

Cool, thanks! I'll have my LP next weekend. Can't wait to hit the studio and plug it into the Boogie! I'll most likely bring my 800 to hear how it sounds with that too.

El Supremo,

I have a (Wine Red) Les Paul Custom that I've never been able to get the right sound out of. I'm very curious to hear about this pairing.

I gave up with an EMG '81/ '85 set running the 18volt mod. It's....ok....it's always been just ok.

I had a JB in there early on and it just didn't work with that guitar at all.

You should try the het set in there, before you rip the active electronics out. You might be surprised.

UPS apparantly doesn't even work around Ascension day over here nor in Germany (I know the day itself is a holiday).
Sucks, because I'll be at work when they'll try and make deliveries next week. Hopefully there's some sort of alternative drop off point where I can pick it up (I know our national postal service has that option). Still have to wait until the first delivery attempt has been made before making any changes in adressing though.

Bummer, was really looking forward to checking them out this weekend (and posting a review of course ). Great weekend to all anyways.

Really? In america or italy if you call UPS with the tracking number and tell him "Hey ill come pick it up at the depot dont put it on the truck" they will do that for you.

You have that option here too. Would be convenient if the depot wasn't halfway across the country for me.
Anyways, I've read about UPS Access Points. These are basically retail businesses that will store packages for you until you come and collect them. I really hope that's also the case with cash on delivery orders like mine.

I actually thought about that. These are older than the quick connect, so the work would actually be about the same.
