Gaps in the product line?

More active options, particularly for the neck.

Even more particularly, for bass guitar.

To date, there is one Blackouts For Bass humbucker. Some sort of calibration for neck and bridge positions would be helpful. (FWIIW, I find the existing model acceptable for the P position but lacking in midrange for use in the J/Stingray position.)

Forgive me for cutting and pasting. I wanted to be crystal clear about which portion of your post was the object of my reply.

Even better:
  • Liberator 5-way blade switch
  • Liberator 3-way blade switch
  • Liberator 5-way Super Switch

Wet Dream, there, buddy. Also a nightmare to implement. 24 contacts with all the myriad possibilities? Pfft. Dang thing oughta just come with a bag of jumper leads or push-on connectors, or rigged up like a Gorgon head. :lol:

May as well ask for a Liberator 5 and 6-way rotary, while we're at it :lol:
 
Re: Gaps in the product line?

My tastes are probably a bit too obscure to make commercial sense, but the type of things I'd like to see are:

Neck pickup to match the Stag Mag
Filter'tron voiced pickup in humbucker size
Firebird voiced pickup in humbucker size
P-bass voiced pickup to fit in J-bass rout

Ooo neat idea. How about a new Stag Mag set withba different voicing? I recall many people not really liking the original for some reason.
 
Re: Gaps in the product line?

Ok!!!

I have one.

You guys offer a ton of colors for humbuckers and don't match single coil colors to the humbucker colors you offer.

When I finally found my '88 Original Floral Jem, you guys made me a pink Distortion/ Pearly Gates set and I had to get a mismatched off brand single coil cover.

This is terrible!!!
 
Re: Gaps in the product line?

I'm pretty sure the Jazz has a mellow tone for a reason. Might have something to do with the name? Nah....

The alternate-voiced StagMag is interesting. Maybe take an existing model and apply the StagMag design concept to it? JB Stag? Invader Stag? Custom Stag?

The Jazz set is well known to be bright and clear, not a 'mellow tone', not particularly jazz-sounding, and I've seen a number of times that members consider them to be misnamed.

Modded with an A3, the Jazz neck does Jazz very well, (pun intended). specially in big Jazz boxes like a Gibson L-5 CES, just to give an example from the top of my head. ;)

BTW, that's Gertrude, my all-maple L-5 CES copy. The bridge p'up is actually an A2 Jazz bridge, aka APH1B. She does Jazz quite well, if I may say so myself... :cool2:

HTH,

Right, and it's very nice with A2's also (A2P's). My reference was to the stock A5's.

The big question is do you own a SD Jazz? I have one in my Iceman and it is very full, round and clear with very pronounced mids. THe pickup is perfect for Jazz.
 
Re: Gaps in the product line?

I think the Stagmag would be a ton better with alnico5's. In fact, I'm quite positive it will be better.

I have to agree. That's why I put one in the neck of my Epi LP Custom. It's a darker sounding guitar overall and I wanted a brighter neck tone.

It's very articulate, even with the tone rolled down for those jazzy tones.
 
Re: Gaps in the product line?

I've made Stag Mag necks out of Jazz necks, and I did use Alnico 5. They're excellent. Making one out of a Full Shred neck would be great too. You need to add non-magnetic spacers, drill out the bobbin(s), and remove the base magnet, keeper bar(s)...it's a lot of work for a modder. More than a simple magnet swap. It would be convenient if it were added to the product line.
