I love the tone on that CC clip!

I've never tried a CC. Maybe it's time.

The C5 reminds me of one of my cold ex-girlfriends... Definitely diggin' the CC more... Warm, smoothe, better overall tone...

Definately the CC. I listened to both clips repeatedly, and in rapid succession, like one piece of one then other other. The CC just sounded richer and more musical. That's a great pick up.

Does that guitar have a maple neck?

Re: C5 vs CC clip - cast your vote!

The CC just has that creamy fat tone.
And it sings rather well

Marin your playing never ceases to wow me! Ive been playing those CC and C5 (mainly the CC) clips these past few days when i go to listen to music...in place of actual songs! They just sound terrific, love your style!

That guitar and that CC, with the ENGL and that fireball pedal, and your fingers , just sounds awesome together!

Keep em comin'

I liked both clips and I thought both pickups sounded dang good. The C5 had a nice top end bite to it and the CC just sang a bit more. I can see tons of uses for both. I voted for the CC but I would have liked Marin to do a lip using the JB too. I would have like to have heard that pickup compared to the other two.

I thought the C-5 sounded fatter to my ears, bigger in a way to my ears. I could hear the big mids in the CC though. What value pots were used in this guitar? Any rhythm clips?

Smooth or Organic Dynamics?

smooth or organic? I vote organic with the C5. I'm assuming it's a strat (styled), and it sounds more like a strat should. less compressed, more pronounced harmonics. With pickups like that it's easier to let them know what you're feeling through the touch of your hand. CC seems like it would be the better choice if the gain was 10 fold, however that crosses over into a new genre.

The neck fretboard is made of ebony.

Sorry, no Strat here....

I used my chambered body custom made LP:

It must be the SVR tone that made me think strat. I still like the C5 due to more bite.
