Heya All,
I'm currently using a MIM Strat with a Lil Screamin Demon in the bridge. While I do like my sound, I think I wanna beef it up a little bit. Any suggestions?
You can hear what I'm currently getting at http://www.superswamp.com Just click the link at the top right to open the music player.
While I like the tone, I think it can be a bit more substantial in the "meat" factor, perhaps more mid response from the pickup. I think I'd like slightly more output too. I don't want high output, and my three favorite players favore(d) low output (Eddie, Yngwie, Lynch). But my playing style is extremely aggressive at times, ala Zakk Wylde, and I know he's an EMG player. Is it possible to incorporate all this with one bridge pickup?
One caveat is that it must clean up nicely simply by rolling down the volume pot. The clean sounds on this recording (tracks 2 and 3) were all done this way as I don't use a separate clean channel.
I have been thinking about either beefing my gain a little and going with a JB, or perhaps feeding my Van Halen fixation with a '78 model. I listened to the Custom Custom, but that didn't do it for me. I'm ok with swapping out the pickguard to go with a traditional sized humbucker, so no worries there.
Any suggestions?????
