I just purchased an MXR Timmy from Guitar Center in Baton Rouge. After trying many overdrive pedals into a very bright Blues Jr IV, the Timmy lived up to the hype. I really liked the cutting nature of the Bass and Treble knobs. Not mushy like the MXR Sugar Drive. Much nicer than the harsh...

I ordered a 2002 Gretsch 5129 Electromatic from GC. It arrived a few days later at the store. After taking nearly an hour, they found it in the warehouse. It was in good well played condition, but someone had removed the bigsby spring and stuck a rubber cork to block the bigsby. They also...

I pulled the trigger today on a Yamaha THR 10x practice amp. After screening several modeling amp candidates, kept coming back to the little Yamaha. I wanted to be able to record direct. I wanted several amp models but not unlimited choices. I wanted accuracy and simplified in a sturdy and cat...

I bought a set of the Distortion Mayhem pickups. We shall see if it makes my squier strat a shred beast. Anyone else try this combo in a strat style body?

I got a really cool Stagg Strat for $89. So, I plan to turn my red Squier strat in to a shred beast. The other Squier with the JB and Snarks is a little too ice picky.:scratchch

Since the majority seems to think Pcs go together in pairs. How about this twist?

Thanks for the help with the last poll. Do to an unfortunate problem with fitting the PC in a Strat, I kept the JB and switched to nickel strings. The Phat Cat is in the neck of my SG. I need a bridge pickup to go with the awesome power and tone of the Phat Cat.

I am ripping the Jb from my HSS strat and putting it in an Epi SG Special. I need a toneful neck pickup to accompany it. Remember, The SG Special is not a thick guitar and can be bright. I am considering: Phat Cat Pearly Gates APH Seth Lover 59 Jazz :thanks:

I am thinking about replacing the JB in my strat and putting a Phat Cat in the bridge and the JB in my SG bridge. The JB is so bright and with the hot Duncan Great White Snark singles in my strat it doesn't stand out much. I want less spike and more tone. I am also considering the Pearly Gates...

I'm thinking about going the HH route with my Squier Strat and keeping the 5 way switching. I want versitility So I will probably go JB/Jazz or JB/59n. I am open to the HSS route, but I hate the weak single in this guitar. My affinity strat has much warmer and hotter singles. Going HSH is a...

I was planning to put a Phat Cat in my Squier Telecaste Special to balance better with the Strat single, but as luck would have it GC was sold out. So I went with the 59n instead as they were out of Pearly Gates. It went in without a hitch and balanced well with the Alnico 5 Strat pickup. I...

I have a Walnut Brown Squier Telecaster Special with a bright humbucker in the bridge and an Alnico Strat neck pickup. I am thinking about a Pearly Gates/Lil 59 combination or a JB/Cool Rails set up for more power. I am open to suggestions and do like to shred as well as play jazzy stuff. I...
