Re: Interesting Duo-Sonic Pickups

O.k., got them. Came with the courier again, would have preferred to the post office, but whatever.

Fancy packaging.

Re: Interesting Duo-Sonic Pickups

The pickups haven't come yet, but I ordered some parts from two different aliexpress dealers a week later, then two days later from two other dealers. Everything came in one single package, and it didn't come by mail, but a local courier firm delivered it to me today. alix.png alip.png alipb.png The...

Re: Interesting Duo-Sonic Pickups

Nice, we'll wait! Because of how long the typical delivery from Aliexpress takes I sometimes forget I ordered something and don't feel excited about the thing, but I hope the pickups will live up to the expectation. Pickup makers on Aliexpress seem to have significantly improved their game. Their p...

Re: Interesting Duo-Sonic Pickups

Ok, bought them. I'll let you guys know about them in about a month, or whenever I decide to install them after that. They were only 38 US bucks and something like 63 cents. Free shipping. I have been looking for the Duncan Antiquities bridge for about a year. Mainly I couldn't find it anywhere. I d...

Re: I got to fuck around with a real fender marauder last night

How could you stand looking at it? The pickup covers are white and the switches are black.

Did you even plug it in?

I like the hardtail HH strat.

Re: Any verdicts on the squire sonic mustangs?

I played one today. The single coil pickups were ok, better than on the CV Mustang which I own, but not stellar. Only played it clean because I was trying out a pedal. The neck wasn't too great. Some string buzz, and I disliked the lack of finish on the neck (I know it's supposed to have some super-...

Re: Mustang Vibrato Guides?

That is an interesting subject, and I have no real anwsers. I've tried them all: lower break angle, higher break angle, less tension, more tension. A lower break angle would theoretically keep in tune better, the problem being the strings can pop off, but that would be more of a problem with another...

Re: The ultimate list of cheap copies of great pedals thread!

I've been using one of those Kmise Crunch Distortions for a bit now. Basically I wanted to build what I called a dollar store pedal board. Ryan from 60 Cycle Hum tested one and said it was like a shitty Rat clone. They sound like a Rat, but don't clean up like Rats do when you back the gain off. He...

Weird, I built one and it boosted quite a lot. By the way, there is no fuzz knob on it, it's a volume knob. Which may possibly push the preamp on your amp into more distortion.

Re: Strat wiring question

So it's just standard toggle, standard volume/tone/tone, but with those push-pull pots that give all the options?

A bit awkward, but quite useful. Nice guitar.

I think the body is slab like 65/66 'stangs, without those things cut on the back and for the forearm like on strats (which the Bullet Mustangs have).

Re: Strat wiring question

Of course no one answers because it's too vague and someone has to guess what you want. If you want just master volume and tone, use the telecaster diagram for the volume and tone, and keep the strat selector switch. You can find various coil tap diagrams, for Les Paul or whatever, they're just swit...

Re: New rig.

I've had mine for about a year. Play it cranked AF regularly. No issues at all. It rules Sounds good. I liked that one with the Jag drone especially, and also the one where you were drumming. I know you have the Clean model, do you ever use that built-in attenuator switch that gives you distortion?

Re: NGD x2 Epiphone Crestwood & Casio DG20

I tried those Casios back in the day. Can't say I was much of a shredder, but I could easily play a bunch of notes, remove my hands from the guitar, and wait for the sound, which came later. They had a pretty bad latency.
