    Duckbucker in HSH?

    I have the Full Shred set, both bridge and neck, in a Strat. That neck pickup does have single coil vibe, specially with overdrive and high gain, cleans are great. However the middle position is very similar to neck so I may add a middle pickup to get more sounds from this set.

    STK-S6 installation issues

    I did not like the SSL-6 in the neck when I tried it with my STK-S6 in the bridge it was too much bass and lacked treble when I set me I EQ to make the STK-S6 sound good. But I also do remember the STK-S6 in the neck performed well, I think it has a touch less bass than the SSL-5 or SSL-6, in a...

    Should I get a 24 fret guitar?

    The goal is playing high gain stuff, no blues, no jazz, just hard rock and metal. But being that said, I love the sound of neck for leads, I switch back and for neck and bridge.

    Should I get a 24 fret guitar?

    I have a Strat with 21 frets and couple of "Super Strat" with 22 frets. I really love the sound of the neck pickup for both clean arpegios, mild overdrive and lead. I think I may want to try getting a non expensive 24 fret Jackson, an entry level one, put some duncans I have spare, and see if I...

    What made you switch out pickups in the first place?

    I wanted a singing neck tone for soloing with my HSS Strat, now I know the stock ceramic was the problem, then finding the correct bridge for that, the realizing I needed a better amp, then I realized I love different sounds from different guitars, eventually getting a tube amp, now trying to...

    How to choose a 5 string bass for a better B string sound?

    Interesting, I like Yamaha basses, good wound for reasonable price. I think I can try that TRBX-505 (34" scale) the same store as some Jacksons (35").

    How to choose a 5 string bass for a better B string sound?

    I had 5 string bass once and noticed a dramatic reduction in presence in the low B string. For example a 4 bass string with drop D would sound more present that playing D note on the B string in the 5 string bass. Also, the low B note in the low B string did have rumble but not that much...

    JB with Alnico ii Pro

    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...

    What happened to Planet Waves cables?

    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...
