http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=259654 It's the most recent song on there. I used the 2-position on my Warmoth Strat (SD SSL-1 pickups)... Tell me what you think! (Yes it's the same backing track that Marin used for his Beckish Tele song)

First the gear: Peavey Classic 30: - valves: A matched quad of the JJ EL84's in a hotter grade along a standard ECC83S in V1, an ECC832 in V2 to drop the gain and give a very natural blues tone and a graded ECC83S with a high current output in V3. (according to Eurotubes.com) - Volume: 2 -...

I have a Seymour Duncan JB and a Twangbanger for my Squier 51, which has just 1 push-pull volume knob and a rotary pickup selector. How do I install these 2 pickups? What do I connect the Twangbanger to, and how do I connect them both to the volume pot, so that the JB can be coil-split? I've...

Here is something I just churned out. It isn't as smooth as I would like it to be, but I think there are some nice passages in it. I used the neck (Seymour Duncan SSL-1) pickup on my Warmoth Strat, using a semi-dirty tone with reverb and delay. The Guitarport track spoke of verses and choruses...

What can I do regarding advanced pickup possibilities with a - SD Lipstick single coil pickup - SD JB 4-conductor pickup I can split-coil the JB, but can I also use another push-pull pot to put the JB and the Lipstick in and out of phase? How will that sound?

I'm thinking about buying these, but would they suit my style? I do play lots of clean stuff, but I like the occasional distortion. Musicians I like (and play) are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix... So lots of blues and clean stuff. Would the Hot Livewires suit my...

I'm thinking about this pickup for the bridge position of my Godin SD. The Stag-Mag would be two single coils which can be combined to form a humbucker, but how would I do that? Does the SM come with a push-pull pot (the Godin only has two controls: volume and tone)? How do the two modes (SC and...

I have recently purchased a Godin SD like the one in the picture below: I am, of course, putting other pickups in it. I have pretty much decided on two Seymour Duncan SSL-3 Hot for Strat pickups and a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbucker in the bridge. As you can see, the Godin has only one...

I have been thinking about placing a Dimarzio Blue Velvet single coil pickup in the middle position of my Epiphone G400 Custom. I've been looking for pickup frames, but I don't know how this would work. I don't know what's underneath the pickups, so I would probably need a special pickup frame...

I currently have an Epiphone G-400 Custom. I want to have single coil sound as well, so I'm looking for a nice - not too expensive - single coil pickup, which I plan to put in the middle pickup position (let me know if you think this is a bad idea). Preferrably I want a single coil in the shape...
