I have a lil'59 in the bridge and an APTR-1 neck, they are wired to a 3way, is it possable to wire them in such a way as to get 1= full bridge, 2= tapped bridge + neck, 3= neck? at the moment 2= full bridge +neck, nice sound, but would like more of the classic tele sound in that position. Is...

I have a chance of a pair of nearly new Seth Lovers, at the moment I have a Rio Grande Texas BBQ set in my guitar, I like 'em, but I also like what I hear of the Seths, could I have opinions please, My guitar is a custom made, mahogany/maple ebony board. My music is blues based. Thanks in...

Does anyone know what the "L" stands for. This is on ebay.

Hello all, Any recommendations for a replacement bridge pickup for my Rio BBQ. I love the sound of this pup, but need more output/volume. I don't want a pup that is to sharp or has any mid hump etc. The Rio is a very balanced pickup so, I would need the same. Any opinions. Oh, the neck pickup is...

A pair of Marshall branded Celestion G12-65 @ 15ohm each. The speakers are in great nick, date from around 78/79. They are the preferred choice of Robben Ford, amongst others. These are pretty rare speakers. G12-65's are a stronger version of a G12M Greenback with a large dust cap that diffuses...

Anyone selling an RC Booster? I have been looking for one here in the UK but with no luck, if you have one, please let me know a price to include shipping to the uk. Jon

Hello all, I read in a thread here, a while back, that the JB + Jazz were designed with 250K volume pots in mind. As I find the JB a little sharp and aggressive with the 500K pots, what differance would using a lower value pot make? My guitar has 1 Vol + 1 Tone, the tone pot is a 250k at the...

Could anyone tell me what would the big differance in tone be between these two p'ups. I have a BBQ in the bridge, and a Texas neck, the more I read about the C5, the more curious I become. I play blues/blues rock and DO NOT need massive gain. Jon

Both in good condition with plenty cable,Open to reasonable offers, or trades. Jon

Hello, I have installed 2 new pickups, both are of the 2 wire kind, I have a volume + a tone and a 3 way switch, I downloaded the schematic from SD site and followed it exactly (?), NO sound!!, after messing about with the wiring, I now have sound, the tone works, the volume now works in...

I have just wired in a Rio Grande BBQ in the bridge position of my guitar, sounds great, like a warmer JB, I have a Jazz in the neck, both sound great on thier own but mixed, it is a strange honky thin sound, with a big volume drop, could i have wired the BBQ wrong?. It has 2 wires, one to earth...

I hope to be replacing my Bridge JB soon, I am curious to know how it sounds in the neck position of a guitar. Anyone tried it?? Opinions?? I have a Jazz in the neck at the Mo'. Jon

Has anyone used this pickup, and what is your opinion of it compared to a JB bridge.

What is involved in removing the covers from a hum' pickup. My one seems to be welded at both ends, I know I can easily cut through this, but, what will it be like underneath? and how will it affect the tone, oh, it's a Gibson 57 re-issue. Jon

Hello all, it's been a while since i was last here, anyway, I have aquired a Gibson 57 classic pickup that i am considering putting on my guitar to replace the JB, is there a Seymour equivelant of this pickup that I can hear a soundbite of, before pitting it in. Thanks Jon
