Re: Genesis Mr.Browney
Thanks chris,
Actually to be honest with you. I do have a Mr.Browney ( the very first prototype )in a Nuno Bettencourt Ibanez Prototype (Rare ).
I kept asking Joey when he will have Alnico II's in stk?
Few months later he got back to me stating he now has them.
Joey said he can custom wind one for me. So I told him what
I was looking for in a pickup. Tone wise & spec's. ( off of EVH
60's modify ES335 pickup he use in the early day of his career )
This was great I never had anyone do a custom pickup wound to my
spec's before. I did buy custom shop ones. But never one made
for me only.
Tone reference is EVH 1st album & their 1st demo ( Gene simmons )
Like a Tone Guru Joey is , He started working on it. took a while.
Should it it be F- space or not. But that would affect the tone.
But we both agreed that it should stay at the traditional spacing.
The output. But still want it to stay around 8.5 to 9 k max.
potted or not etc,
I do have SD custom shop EVH's in my Guitars . But there was something
still lacking.
after a few months of R&D , Joey finally came up with the Prototype
and send it to me for analysis.
After receiving Mr.Browney ( The name I tag it and Joey loved it )
I started my anaylsis . after two weeks or so . I came to a conclusion
that this is one of the best pickups I ever played. ( That includes comparing
it to a Tom Holmes PAFs.) I told Joey this is It!. Then I put the 1st review
about it in Harmony Central. Joey is really proud of this pickup & he should
be. He does great work. I played all his other pickups , "The hot rock " which
by the way is also an excellent pickup.
I too love the sonic tone signature of Mr.Browney and love playing it to death.
by the reveiws on Harmony Central, I guess lot's of other players loves it as well.
The neat thing about it is It doesn't cost an arm or a leg to get one
and it's customwound. If other people want to hear what it's sound
like. I tell them to listen to EVH 1st album ( for the dirty sound )
and any Larry Carlton Earlyer Album ( for the Clean sound.)
But Mr.B has a touch more tone & magic.
Joey will have sound bites soon. I will contribute as well.
Again I have spend alot of money on different pickups in my
25 year or more of playing and Mr.B is deffinately one of the best.
It just doesn't sound like any other after market pickup.
It is a different animal. all I can say if you love the tone of SD Custom shop
EVH, You'll like this one even better. But please keep in mind, this is not just
a one trick pony. It's capable of doing whatever tone your fingers want
to do. this a very versatile pickup.
Sorry, Got carry away. I guess I just love this pick up that much.
All you guy's reading this . You owe it to yourself to check this pickup
out and have at least one in your guitars. I promise you guy's will
love it. but if not, you can keep on searching for that lengendary tone.
The choice is yours. :smokin:
