Test clip, first time (Testing the 78)

[C-Martin]

so this s the first time i post something on here.. i chose the Unchained from VH riff, figured if im gonna post a 78/EVH pickup clip i should post some VH but i dont realy know much of van halen so i learned this just earlier for this clip.. plus i just kinda like how it sounded with this new pickup. I did this rather quick and the playin might be a bit off and the generic beat sucks lol but this a short 30 sec clip of the '78 neck in the bridge of my strat, let me know what you think.

havent played with the eq or anything i just pluged and recorded this in 10 minutes.. i think it sounds just a bit harsh maybe, i dont know.. i could prolly fix it by tweaking my gear accordingly

yea im realy liking it.. tho i have no idea if the bridge version sounds as good or better or diferent.. this is the neck version i put in the bridge, so the "regular" 78 might sound slightly diferent, perhaps just a bit hotter since its 9k ish and this is more 8k ish..

i say just try it out, could be good or bad but to me this is the best thing that has hapened to my strat since the HS-2.. wich hasnt moved and is stil on its original solder i did 7 years ago.. now i gotta find the perfect neck pickup and this thing is set, tho i kinda enjoy the fender TS for now, we'll see if it sticks.. maybe ill try a surfer or something eventualy but for now im very happy with this axe.. soundwise

Me three. The problem is I don't have a guitar to put it in....LOL.


That sounds great. I've played the 78 Model in one of Lew's Squire Jap Strats. All I gotta say is WOW! It's definitely one of my favorite bridge pickups. "Chewy" is the best way to describe it.

then get annother guitar! :laugh2:

it defenetly has a "something" i never heared from any other bucker.. or guitar period.. i especialy was sceptical of the A2 and when i pluged it it jsut blew my mind lol seems to be a very lively pickup and responsif to how you play and i just love how you can realy dig in the strings with it.. i guess i can see some chewy in it.. tho i kinda wonder how it compares to the "normal" 78

From what I heard in your clip, they sound very very similar. The "normal" 78 being would a little hotter. Even though it has been a while since I played Lew's Strat with it, it's a sound that doesn't leave the brain, ya know? It's just so distinct and impressive that you don't forget.
