Re: '99 Stratocaster pickup query

Might be an American Traditional neck with an MIM or Squier body, but it does have the US-specific microtilt route in the neck pocket. With prices these days it might not actually be that much of a rip-off.

Re: So the Jag-Stang existed in 1971

It’s probably for the garbage disposal that got ripped out to make room for a Kahler in the early ‘80s. Or the rotating leopard print waterbed it had as standard.

Re: SHORTSCALEGEARDEMO VOX MV 50

While that’s true in the “intended use” sense, a lot of people do use them to bolster the tone of boring sounding amps. I use an American or British Sound into a Bassman Ten because that amp otherwise has pretty much nothing cool going on, and teh Kurtdz’s dirty tone for the In Utero touring era was...

Re: Wah

To me kicking on wah-wah is like doing shots of vodka: fun spontaneously with friends (used tons of wah in my band) but undeniably more of a worrying moment when you find yourself doing it at home by yourself for a couple hours on a weekday. I've had the '90s Vox V847 reissue since around 1997. The ...

Re: Noel Gallagher Epiphone Riviera

The only Noel sig I routinely remember existing is the Supernova, probably because of this magazine ad that was in every GP and Guitar World for a few years when I was a teenager.

Re: Strings for 3/4 acoustic

I know you just bought a new acoustic anyway, but Martin and D'Addario (and apparently a few other brands) make Silk & Steel folk strings, which are very light on the fingies. You don't even have to go with a lighter gauge to get this benefit from them but I believe they only come in a lighter g...

Re: So, I uh, might have done something kind of stupid..

Palmer, Radial and Morley eliminators might be worth looking into.

I find pretty much any hum-cancelling solution to attenuate high end a bit, it's why I think dummy coil pickups are useless (they just make all the best single-coil designs sound that much more humbuckery to my ears).

Re: So, I uh, might have done something kind of stupid..

Most amps sound like crap unless they're running through a Marshall cab.

Never got complaints from housemates or neighbors until I started using a Vibro Champ in the house. A 100-watt head through a 1960A 4x12 has a way more focused/less abrasive sound, regardless of SPL.
