Hi All, I have a couple Strats in which I have a Duncan JB (full size) in the bridge, Duncan Classic Hot Stack in the middle and a Vintage Hot Stack in the neck. I have one of the tone pots as a push/push for splitting the coil of the JB for some stuff. JB is wired to one tone pot, neck and...

Re: Good color match for Fender Aged White p/u covers? I just dug out an LTD EC1000 I bought in 2006 that's loaded with Duncan JB/59 combo. Both are zebra with Black and (I think) creme. I put it up next to the new Fender and the color of the lighter coil is nearly dead on perfect to the 'Aged...

I recently picked up a Deluxe Strat. The pickup covers, switch tip and knobs are what, I guess, Fender calls 'Aged White'. I like how this color scheme works with the natural finish of the guitar. I plan on replacing the pickups with Duncans and would really like to keep this color scheme going...

From Summer NAMM '16 in Nashville - The brand spanking new Voodoo Amps R-4: the signature amp of Richard Fortus, formerly of The Dead Daisies and current (and longtime) guitarist with Guns & Roses. You'll see some pedals in the video - They're off unless specifically noted. Richard is a noted...

Hi all, I did some amp demo'ing for Voodoo Amps at Summer NAMM last week. During this time we shot some iPhone video of the new amp designs. This is the brand new Voodoo Mid Drive. As the name suggests it's not as high gain as some other amps out there (for instance, the Voodoo V-Rock which...

Re: Compare FullSize JB with JB Jr I ordered this one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010FWMZCS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 I figured at $8 if it sucks I can use it temporarily until the one I want is available. Just ordered this for my next Strat refurb - a 2005...

Re: Compare FullSize JB with JB Jr Sure. It's a '92 Mexi. Everything except the nut and frets is new, and they'll be new soon. The trem is the newer high mass block unit. Fender locking tuners. Other than the frets being pretty shot and the nut being pretty worn down, it plays and sounds...

Hi All, I'm a big fan of the Full Size JB Humbucker in the bridge position. I have a guitar into which I want to install a JB. That guitar currently has a S-S-S pick guard so I'm wondering how much of a difference there would be with putting a JB Jr in there In other words how close is the JB...

I'm working on putting together a small guitar workstation so I can stop paying others to do my repair work - plus where's the fun in that, right? In researching soldering irons I came across these '2in1 SMD Soldering Iron Hot Air Rework Station' type devices which supposedly combine a...

Hi All, I recently refurbished my old Mexi Strat and put in a set of Quarter Pound pickups. Played it on a gig the other night, noticed these pickups are pretty dark sounding. Up until then I was playing an LTD EC1000 with JB/59 combo. The Quarter Pounds definitely sound plenty fat, surprisingly...

I plan to put new pickups in an older Mexi Strat. I've settled on JB in the bridge, Quarter Pounders neck and middle. On my other JB equipped guitars I use 500k pots and like how they sound but none have a single coil in them. With the neck and middle pickups being single coil, I'm not sure if...

Hi All, I'm going to do a 'refurb' on my old 1992-made MIM Strat. I love the neck on this guitar (small frets and finish well worn off) and the body with various pickups has always sounded great. For nearly 10 years now I've been playing ESP LTD EC1000's with the JB/59 combo. I've grown to love...

Just completed a little walkthrough video of my new JMP-1 with Voodoo Amps Platinum Mod. This might be the best sounding rig I've ever heard let alone played through. I'm still in awe! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQhKUJcxt1k If the video doesn't load here's the link...

Hey everyone, I had to make a small change to the original video I'd posted so I pulled it from YouTube. Here is a link to the updated video. I hope you enjoy!

Hi All, I have a quad set of 15 ohm Celestion G12-65 speakers that came out of a Marshall 4x12 straight cabinet from 1979. I replaced them in 2010, since then they've been sitting in the shipping container boxes (wrapped in plastic bags) that the replacements came in (WGS Vet 30's and HM75's -...
