Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!

having put it through its paces and describing it as a fairly "fat" sounding neck pickup, do you think the final production version would be better if it were a little leaner on the low end and/or brighter?

Well, I still need to put it under gain, so I'm looking for a convincing rock/metal player to do the playing, as I don't think my mine is up to snuff with a genre I grew apart from some twenty years ago...

But, in a nutshell, with what I got so far, I'd like it better leaner, certainly not brighter, in a 22-fretter, 24.75" scaled instrument.

I'm dying to try the Hy-Bro on a 25,5" scaled, 24-fretter one. My gut's telling me that it'll kill it into that context.

And, as a matter of fact, I DO own such an instrument!

HTH,

I want to put one in the neck of this with a matching bridge '59/C Hybrid.

How did you get a SUB1 neck on an Axis body?

It's an EBMM Sterling SUB AX4. Currently it's a GC exclusive for around $329. I got it on sale when it was $229.

HTH,

Great job so far.

And as far as high gain goes, some blues stuff at high gain would satisfy my curiosity. It doesn't necessarily have to be metal.

Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!

I'd actually like to hear it across the gain spectrum... chords and solo from light grit to face melt...

ETA: This is not to say that what's there isn't useful (or sound good) - it is, and it does. Thanks, Pepe!

SAAAWEEEET!! Gorgeous axe and friggin amazing price!!! SCORE!!

Those are supposed to be better quality than the OLP's right? Or are they just rebranded? I thought the OLPs were pretty impressive for the price point..

Ditto.. Doesnt have to be James Hetfield ( YEAUH!!!! OOOOOO!) or nothing Pepe.. Just dial up the gain and runs some pent scales and Im good.

I LOVE the hybrid in the bridge of my charvel and have a Jazz in the neck. The jazz is alil sterile for me. Im thinking if this neck cleans up well, (Ive loved the other clips) and doesnt mush out under gain, Im sold and can complete that axe..

The OLPs were pretty decent (have one of them, too) but never came with a non-recessed Floyd, and the finish felt cheaper. The neck on this feels nicer. All it needs is a Hybro.

Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!

Great distorted tones I could really use, but how does it sound pure clean? Like do you think it would be good for reggae/ska? Or does it break up the amp a bit more than say a 59?

I'd use the middle position for Ska, Funky and the like, like I did in the "Rhythm" part of "Getting Things Done". It totally cuts through, but it's got a lot of body at the same time.



TBH, my first choice to play those styles would be either a Strat in the 2nd position (bridge/middle) or a Telly in the middle position.

Check it out!

Cool deal! Can't wait to hear it!

Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!

I like what I hear. To me it sounds like a cross between a Jazz and a 59, but maybe a bit more low mid than the Sentient, which I've also heard described as a cross between a Jazz and a 59.
Chords under gain might be a bit thick, but leads should sound fantastic.

Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!

So are we ready to have this be ordered or are we deciding to tweak it now so it isn't so fat or thick? Maybe interest dropped off I don't know, but it's like we're back in limbo again for an undisclosed amount of time. Loosey splain please....
