Re: What p'ups did CC DeVille play
An insight? If you think think it takes more than a metal distortion, a chorus and a delay set for something short to get CC's sound, you are tonally adrift in a sea of hairspray.
Just kidding! (sort of). I have no idea and I really think it doesn't matter. I will say I think he is often put down for no good reason. He plays stuff that works perfectly for the songs. If you want vituosity - don't listen to Poison. But for Party-Pop-Metal, He's great. Very tasty (Although, not in a Neal Schon/Steve Lukather sort of way...)

He did have tons of guitars. He was mostly known for playing BC Rich guitars.
I am betting he was a user of either the Duncan Distortion or the Duncan JB.
I have seen one of his "so called" guitars for sale on Ebay with a Dimarzio Superdistortion in it.

Re: What p'ups did CC DeVille play
Again, detailed analysis of the "CC DeVille sound" down to pups, picks, strings etc. is missing the point. And for the sake of argument - let's not confuse CC Deville with the CC pup! One rocks (the pup) and the other, well...I'm sure the Mick Mars thread can't be much better. Almost any multi-effect processor on the market probably has an over effected 80's hair metal preset that is pretty close if not spot on for the Poison/Ratt/Winger/Trixter/Europe/GreatWhite/etc. sound. I can't believe this thread made it to seven responses!

Re: What p'ups did CC DeVille play
G'slinger, if you want hair metal, your best bet is the JB. I don't know for certain what he used, but that should get you close.
Of course, I've also heard somewhere that he used Gibson Melody Makers on some of their songs. AFIK, they all had P-90s, so a humbucker wouldn't work in that case. Although, the guy may have been talking out his butt.
I think you'd be happy with the JB.

Re: What p'ups did CC DeVille play
CC Deville is actually a classically trained guitarist. He took advantage of what the times called for, and it worked. I'd let you all make fun of me if it meant spending 10 years getting paid millions of dollars touring the world, playing guitar for 20,000 fans a night and getting my pick of groupies every show.
Laugh at me all you want.....or just talk dirty to me.

HAHA, now we're up to 17 replies here. Actually, I just installed a J-90c that sounds more like Vito Bratta's tone, which I prefer to CC's tone.
