What does SD have to offer in a HB that will sound nice and airy and round? Also not mushy sounding,and with a little bit of punch ? Thanks!!

Anyone played one, or have one? Opinions?

I am looking to tame the microphonics and ice-picky treble in my Bluesboy. I'm thinking of putting in an AlnicoII pro APH-1 Humbucker in the neck position and an AlnicoII pro APTL-1 in the bridge position. I play blues and don't use alot of distortion. Looking for a thick, rich, sweet tone...

Ok, now that i have my humbucker issue settled,which pup?( for Tele bridge ) I want to get away from ice picky microphonic pup, to one that twangs a little and let's my amp and fingers do all of the work. I play mostly blues,southern rock, and a little old school country.I don't need a lot of...

The aptl-1 comes in black,and it seems like it is the perfect pup for me,but black is almost a deal breaker. Can anything be done,I can live with zebra, but would rather have a nickel cover? Thanks

Hey, does anyone no where you can buy a LP body and neck blank (1 piece of course) that is of very high quality and finished ? I want to build an LP style guitar,and was looking at going this way! I know some folks will buy some of the Rondo's and what not and strip the inferior parts off them...

The title says it all. What does SD make that has the same qualities as the Dimarzio Pre b-1? I would like to go with SD if they make a compatable pup? Thanks

What are some good ones, say under $200.00 pr. ? Fostex, others?

Just recently, I realized that I am w/out a tele right now, and I just found a HWY 1 in our local music store. Amer. made, plays good and cheap to boot. It's cheap enough to put in a few upgrades if needed too. What do you guys think of the HWY 1 ? I'm probably going to get it , but I just want...

Who makes your favorite pups? For me, being a tele, & p-90 kind of guy, I'm fan of Bill Lawrence(Bill & Becky) and Don Mare pickups too. Seymour Duncans are at the top of my list because they make so many different kinds of great pickups.

Does SD or Dimarzio make a real sounding p90 that isn't noisey? I see SD makes a custom stacked p90, but it retails for $160.00. I would rather go w/SD, but Dimarzio might have something too. Remember, It has to have Dog ears. Thanks

Anyone here own or use a CC analog delay? What did you think, are they decent or not? Thanks

Reg, My bass player in my blues band desperately needs a new small combo bass amp!. Not a lot of slap or anything needed. Just a nice round, warm, deep, almost acoustical tone. He's a good player, but knows no more than me about new bass equip.. I'm thinking maybe an Ampeg w/ blue diamond tolex...

I have always been a Seymour Duncan guy and still am. I never liked most Dimarzio pups, but today I played an esquire style guitar w/a Dimarzio Twang King bridge pickup. WOW, It was quite possibly the best Tele sound I have ever heard or felt, and I'm a Tele guy! Have any of you had the same...

Does anybody own or at least use a Budda Wah pedal? I've owned 4 Crybaby's as of late, and sorry to say, there all junk. the switches and the pots are junk for sure. I owned one in the early 70's and it was a great pedal. I wish I still had that one, but I'm afraid it's long gone. I've read some...
