    High Resistance Reading but Low Output?

    I just got a set of Artec SDMA noisless Strat pickups that read at 12.5k resistance but they are very quiet. I know there are a number if factors that affect how puckups sound but I'm a bit surprised at how low the output seems. They sound great, but only have the output equivalent to 5-6k...

    Bypass Tone to Make Humbucker Brighter

    I have a Tele with a single coil bridge and humbucker neck. The humbucker is very warm sounding and I was wondering if I could brighten it up by bypassing the Tone control just on the humbucker? Will this work? It has a lot of fancy wiring (Grease Bucket on the Tone, push-pull coil tap also on...

    Bright Pups in One Tele Sound Warm in Another

    Re: Bright Pups in One Tele Sound Warm in Another I really don't need to test tonewoods. I have two MIJs (pink n blk), a trad 60s custom (alder/rosewood) and a trad 69 paisley (basswood/maple). Both these new from the same trad series. Both with the same MIJ Trad vintage style pups. THEY...

    Bright Pups in One Tele Sound Warm in Another

    I know what you are all thinking but it doesn't make sense... My MIM Deluxe Tele Thinline had Fender Vintage Noiseless pups with the factory 1Meg pots and .022k cap. I wanted something a little more bright and twangy so I swapped out the pups with a set of MIJ vintage style pups that were very...

    Traynor?

    Re: Traynor? I just picked up a second hand Traynor YCV40wr combo. Very nice amp. It seems to be like a Hot Rod Deluxe with all the short comings addressed. EQ on both channels, a nice sounding OD channel and a V30 speaker. Great build quality and great looks.

    Suggestions For Warmer Speakers

    I have a vertical 2x12 cab that I've put V30s in but it is way too bright. The V30 I have in my 1x12 sounds very warm and full so I thought they would work well in the 2x12. I've gone back to the original 70/80s which are a little better but still much brighter than I want. I know the Swamp...

    Which is your favorite Fender 1x12 tube combo amp?

    Re: Which is your favorite Fender 1x12 tube combo amp? Blues Jr III Red October - stock with Eminence Wizard Supersonic 22 blonde - stock Hot Rod Deluxe+ Ampeg cab - lots of mods, Vtype in amp, V30 in cab. Sounds so amazing that all the others pale, which is kinda sad in a way.
