I was expecting the usual sticker with a date.

I just wanted to share that this combo is working great or me. I had tried the Jazz in neck which by is a great pickup in my opinion but the Alnico ii Pro is sitll chimey but it a touch of extra mids that for my taste works better with the JB in the bridge. WHen soloing it is a bit thicker but...

I cannot longer find Planet Waves cables and every internet/Amazon search shows D'Addario instead. I remember Planet Waves used to be part of D'Addario, did they just rebrand the products? The most durable guitar cable I had was a Planet Waves one of those those sturdy plastic cover behind the...

Just using a reamp box and my old Focusrite 2i2 Gen 1 I was able to capture the preamp section of my Bassbreaker 30R using the FX return of the amp. I plugged the ToneX One (the tiny one) into my ISP Stealth power amp into a 1x12 with a Neodimium Celestion then used an ABY pedal to do an AB test...

Last year found a great strat like sound with Jazz neck humbucker split (using the slug coil) and an SSL-6 in the middle, better than the one when I tried the SSL-1 years ago, because the SSL-6 has less treble and a tiny touch more mids. But then I installed an Alnico ii Pro neck HB and the...

I have already tried the idea of chorus left and echo rigth with my Truetone H2O v3 and it really enhances the clarity and definition of each effect when combined, but it is two pedals in one enclosure, it is designed to work like that. Do you know a reason why using two different mono FX pedals...

For different reasons in the past I was not able to get me a tube amp. Finally I pulled the trigger and got me this Bassbreaker 30R. I have always read tube amps have "special" needs in term of maintenance and care. I am already reading articles on the internet with tips on how to extend their...

What do you lose tone wise when you switch from real tube amp into using a Modeler/Profiler into FRFR cab (which nowdays sounds identical to the amp being miced? I never played a gig using a modeler/profiler into a FRFR, I just practice at low volume at home using a ToneX One pedal, and I don't...

I understand for most hubmuckers you can just buy a pair of the exact same pickup, put them in the same guitar and just by adjusting the hight they will eventually match in output. So why does Seymour Duncan offers some of their humbuckers as neck model or bridge model? I understand brige has...

I orderded the SH-1n Duncan 59 neck with 4 counductors but to my surprise it has long legs. I am affraid I wont be able to install it in a guitar with direct mount, still I can use it in a Superstrat with a pickguard. Is there an SH-1n Duncan 59 neck with 4 counductors AND short legs?

I want to buy me a small tube amp head, not just to enjoy its own sound but also to be used as a power amp platform for my new Tonex One. Both are advertised as 15 watt, both have a pair of EL84 in power section, both have an FX loop, both are small and easy to carry being the 5150 more like a...

I dont care for split coil sound, just a kind of cooped tone that may match better, SSL-1 in neck/middle. For those thinking on full shred that is certainly bright but is not a scooped pickup at all imho.

I just tried the Bassbreaker 15 head the other day in a store. Maybe it was the guitars I was using it with like PRS DGT SE and SilverSky SE but oh man that sounded amazing. I mean I have been using a pedal pream with a portable SS power amp for about 9 years now and even when I always felt I...

I have been using the Custom Stack Plus STK-S6 in the bridge, great rock single coil sound, it balances well with SSL-1 in neck and middle. But some times I miss the chimey SSL-1 bridge sound in the bridge for nice Eric Johnson tones, the problem is when you EQ for the bridge the SSL-1 in the...

I would asume a single coil sized humbucker should follow the same winding and polarity as a regular full sized humbucker. For example looking at Charvel's DK22 the notch position 2 is noise cancelling using a regular true single coil in the middle, hot rails is split the same way as a regular...
