Seth Lover or Antiquity?

Hi,

I'm asking because I have no experience with either of these.

I'm putting a pine FAT Tele together and suddenly find myself with a Seth Lover and a Antiquity.

Which would you use and why?




Thanks
 
Re: Seth Lover or Antiquity?

While I don't know what the tone characteristics of pine are, I guess I would swap each in and out. As far as differences between them (I have both). The Seth has a different midrange to it and has a more aggressive initial attack. Both are rich sounding. If the pine ends up sounding too bright, my guess would be to go with the Antiquity, but you might check out a CC or something with more midrange and bottom end.

Good luck,

Jeff

I take a sharp guess that pine is a softer wood and i'd say i like the Seth better in pine. It has more highs and better attack.
 
Re: Seth Lover or Antiquity?

The Seth is unpotted, and may squeal like a pig in a light pine body with gain? I dont know if the Antiquity is potted?
You can always pot a Seth...it may be lose some of its charecter, but would still sound fantastic.
How bout a '59?

Both are unpoted but FWIW I;ve run Ants in my LP for years into cranked amps, with dirt boxes and even stacking fuzz pedals and never have any feedback issues...

As for the difference the Ants are warmer, more woody sounding and have a nice 3D depth and complexity to them that the Seths lack but the Seths are a little faster and punchier in ways, have a little bit of a quack to them and a nice honk when you crank them that the Ants don't have...

Either way you can't loose...
