I'm thinking of putting a Jerry Donahue in the bridge and an Antiquity Humbucker in the neck of an alder Telecaster with maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Has anyone paired these up? Will the Ant. work well with 250K pots? I will be playing 60s and 70s rock, Jam band type stuff, and...

Hey all, IK Multimedia has a group buy going on until Sunday. If you buy one Amplitube title, (Fender, Hendrix, Metal, Orange, Slash, SVX, A3) you can pick 3 more. The more people buy, the more titles you get for free. If 14 more people buy, you can get 4 titles FREE!

Re: Pickup ideas for Jaguarillo (HSS) Oh yeah, It's an alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard for those not familiar with the model.

Hey guys. I picked up a Fender Jaguarillo on MF closeout (great deal) and I am not really digging the Atomic HB. This is part of the Pawn Shop series and it is basically a Jaguar with a slanted superstrat configuration (HSS) and a 24" scale. I would like this to be my 90's alternative guitar...

I am thinking about putting a little 59 for tele (bridge) and a lil 59 for strat (neck) in an ash tele with a rosewood fretboard. My goal is to get a brighter SG type sound with a Fender scale and not have to route for full size HBS in case I change my mind. I plan on using 500K pots for V and...

Hey guys. I am new to software modeling and am hoping to get some advice. I have been using Amplitube Jimi Hendrix and X-gear for several months with no problems. I recently added Metal and Amplitube 2 and am playing through a Stealthplug. When I start X-gear, everything works fine but when I...

I am replacing a jb jr. in my basswood floyd-equipped Charvel 275 Deluxe with a full size HB that will be angled and mounted into the wood. It has a little 59 in the neck which will stay. Since I already have a tele (JD and Twang king) and an Agile LP with 59s, I want to make this into my...

I can't find these in stock anywhere online. Anyone got one or any suggestions?

I recently bought a used SH-4 JB with a nickel cover off of ebay. However, the sticker on the back reads "JB"... that's it. There is no extra letter identifying the pickup winder as I have seen in the past. Is this legit?

I have the following up on ebay: Charvel neck and middle pickups from 275 Deluxe Set of Nickle Alnico V humbuckers from Agile 3000M Boss Super Phaser PH-2

I have been trying to find a good neck pickup for my MIM tele that would make it sound more strat like. I was going to put in a SSL-1 but then I scored a good deal on the Antiquity Texas Hot neck (for strat). My tele is routed for a HB in the neck spot so the only surgery required would be on...

I love the sound of the Fuzz Face into a tube amp that is right at the break up point. What effect would the Fuzz Face have on a solid state amp? My guess is that it would sound buzzy/fizzy. What about a modeller? Would the Fuzz Face simulate its classic sound if placed before a Marshall...

I was watching "The Good Shepherd" and there is a scene where they have to unseat Dr. Ibanez (pronounced Ee bon yez) and I remembered reading that the guitar company was started by a Spanish luthier named Salvador Ibanez (also pronounced Ee bon yez). So, why did the company change the...

I am building a lap steel and had a couple of questions. How does scale length affect tone? I am assuming it will be similar to a normal guitar with 22.5" giving the mellow Hawaiian sound and 25" giving a more country sound. Is this correct? What kind of pickup (output wise) is best suited...

I was reading a soldering tutorial and the author seemed pretty adimant that you should NEVER use a soldering iron near a pickup's magnets as it can "demagnitize" the pickup. Something smells fishy.:bs2: After all, the wires have to get soldered to the pickup by the manufacturer...somehow...
