New eBay guitar, (pre-Duncan), and a clip.
A month or so ago, I scored a great deal on a couple Stag Mags from John at BlackRose, on the trading post. So, I've been looking for something to put them in. Oddly enough, what I fell in love with, was a mid-to-early '80's MIA Peavey Patriot. (Which arrived Wednesday.)
Whats so odd about this, (perhaps not), is that its virtually identical to my Peavey Predator, except that the Patriot is a hardtail, without the locking nut.
What I like about it is, while the photo makes it look white, its actually a kinda "vintage" cream color in person. Also, it has two oddball pickups. They're both humbucker-sized, single-coil rails. When the 3-way is in the middle, they're in "humbucker-mode".
But that presents a problem. I can't believe how good these p'ups sound.
BTW - They're called "Super - Ferrites". I'm not so sure I want to switch them out now. The neck position isn't all that notable, but the the neck/bridge combo has a great smooth sound, and the bridge by itself, has this great "jangly-clean" Strat sound. I like it much better than either of our two (cheap-ish) Strats.
I mustered up the courage to post a clip. (Ironic, since the first clip I post in this forum isn't going to be of Duncans.) Anyway . . . if you can get past my amatuerish playing, my mistakes, an equally amatuerish recording, and the occasional inexplicable crackly noise, that this guitar makes, (I'll trace it down eventually), I'ld love to hear what you think of the sound of these p'ups.
This is just a little thing I'm working on that I threw together real quick.
