Ok, so I had already tried an Alnico 5 in the neck of a LP Elegant with Custom Shop Pearly Gates...Well, the neck does sound different, but pretty much like ant standard A5 neck pickup...Not bad, not mind blowing...So I ended up looking around and I got an Alnico 6 bar and an A3 bar...I’m not...

Re: Pots for Staple P-90 and Antiquity P-90? I’m happy I found this thread! I’m putting a Seymour Duncan Staple in the neck of my Fano Alt DeFacto ML6 and I wasn’t sure if I should be going for a 250k or 500k pot!(it has 500k pots in it already, though it’s set up as two volume and one tone, a...

Ok, so I just ordered two, lower wattage, High gain Amplifiers! I’m really excited as I think they will be the perfect compliment to the Marshal TSL60 Head that I’ve modded with nos preamp tubes and new Production Genalex Russian Gold Lion KT77’s:) The amps I’ve purchased are a Wildwood...

New favorite Tonebender style fuzz! Technically, it’s a Buzzaround with the gain maxed with a Volume and Filter knob! Very simple to use, but I’ve only scratched the surface so far... Had the filter basically fully CCW in the vid, so a very hard rock/ metal kind of fuzz! The filter has so much...

Re: 2000 Les Paul 59RI New Pickups And Triple Shot System I really like the idea of the modded Melody Maker!! I really have been interested in finding one of the 3 pickup SG style Melody makers! Talking probably to Hoagland for a Custom vintage style harness, and talking to SD Custom Shop to...

Re: 2000 Les Paul 59RI New Pickups And Triple Shot System Sorry I’m advance, I’ve got all my guitars back from the shop and all modified in some way, first pic of them all together at home at one time! And I may be crazy, but went for the wooden knobs, Tortoise Shell Imperial Buttons and a...

Just got my 2000 59RI back from the shop today, couldn’t be happier!! First the pickups...A Seymour Duncan 59 Custom for the bridge. For the neck, a Seymour Duncan Custom Shop build your own. Did the hybrid method...A 78 Model screw coil and Pearly Gates neck slug coil, rough cast, degaussed A5...

Ok, I’ve had a Marshall TSL60 head, snd while much maligned, I had gotten it to sound glorious!! New Production Genalex KT77’s for power tues...And a bunch of different nos preamp tubes had it soundîng just beautiful...Complex, harmonic rich distortion with a great sizzle...could sound great...

Ok, so I bought a Supro Coronado amp to go along with a Marshall tsl60 as a second amp...at first that is...I then got a Xotic Stereo X Blender, so I’ve been running both amps together in a stereo setup! I’m loving it so far...I’ve already retubed the Marshall with KT77 power tubes, 2 nos...

Re: V1 12ax7 suggestions for Marshall TSL 60 Moment of truth! Trying out, firstly, the nos Mullard in v1 and the Genalex in v2. Gonna try that for like a day to give some time to get used to the sound, then may try switching the Genalex around to different slots, starting with the slot right...

Re: V1 12ax7 suggestions for Marshall TSL 60 Beaubrummels Thank you very much for the compliment! Tbh, I’ve found that the iPhone 7Plus does a pretty darn good job at recording! Really does well with distortion as well, doesn’t seem to “overwhelm” the recorder and I guess the correct term would...

I just completely retubed my TSL 60 With 4 Reissue Mullard CV4004/12ax7s for the preamp tubes and a pair of Genalex Gold Lion KT77s for the power tubes :) Did it all myself, except for the biasing of the power tubes...May not seem like much to most, but it was a big deal for me to be able to...

Maybe someone can help me out a bit with a better explanation of the tonal differences between these 3 pickups? I'm not that great at describing, also figured maybe the vid could help someone who's looking for a new neck pickup for a LP! I apologize for the amateur recording, but it's better...

Re: Any experiences with Custom Shop build-your-own pickups? Very happy with my "Build your own pickups!" In the first guitar, for the bridge I got a gold screw, zebra Whole Lotta Humbucker. I went for a "Build your own" in the neck. It's a 78 Model/Jazz A2 Hybrid. 78 Model screw coil and...

Re: Custom Shop Antiquity JB/35th Av JB It's been a while, but I finally got the pickup installed in the Rampage! I'm not great at describing the tone, all I can say is that it's a great fit for the guitar. Sounds great with distortion, although the cleans are quite distorted...But hey, other...
