What pickup is it Chris? I bought a set from mojopickups earlier his year, and he is brilliant . I'll second Mojo I've bought a few sets from him now and they've all been great. Mojo's Broadcaster and Esquire bridge pickups are superb! I also have a set of mixed alnico 5/3 Mojo Strat pickups that I...

Mojo and Creamery are both exceptionally busy these days. I've bought pickups from Oil City which are great so i'm sure he'd do a good job.

I think you're right there. Just wanted to know if hey sounded any good as i'm going for what they look like rather than the sound as I rarely use the neck pickup anyway, but if I do use it it would be good if it sounded at least half decent. If I didn't put one of these in i'd probably go for a reg...

Artec Wide Range style pickups

Does anyone have any experience of these, or Artec pickups in general? I'm thinking of putting one in the neck of a tele 69 thinline i'm putting together for a kind of tele custom look. I don't really use a neck pickup but it would be good if it at least sounded ok, it doesn't really even need to so...

just borrowed fran's recently. i found it thinned out my signal and cut too much bass while adding a midrange graininess to my vox that i couldn't shake off (not AS much as a TS though). it's supposed to be a mainstay for vox amps (that lad from radiohead uses the combination) so maybe i just suck ...

I had the one I had converted, I believe it requires only a couple of component changes.

I'm not really a fan of the CE2, but this new CE2W does have CE1 chorus and vibrato modes which is a pretty good extra IMO.

The Celestion Vintage 30 has always worked well for me, improved my Hot Rod Deluxe and Blues Junior when I had them. People also rate the Greenbacks and Creambacks.

Watched this when my TV was on the fritz yesterday, much like the first vid you posted - I loving what you are doing! The rest of the band could do with learning some of your action moves while playing though.

I've just been thinking, my bridge pickup has a DC resistance of 14.23 Kohm. Most Firebird neck pickups i've seen have a resistance of 6 to 7K, will this cause an issue with mismatched output? It turns out that the output volumes of both my Dimarzio Pre-B1 (14.23) and my newly bought Dimarzio Vinta...

I had a DC3 for a while, I really liked it - it was kind of like a more spacey chorus, and it was pink and sparkly.

Legacy strings - cheap guitar/bass strings in the UK

I discovered these string while researching bass strings online. They're sold by Strings Direct in the UK for very reasonable prices, I bought a set of bass strings for £9 (I think) and 6 sets of 11-48 electric guitar strings for £20. When the bass strings turned up the inside of the packaging had...

Or could I put a bridge pickup (which have a higher output) in the neck, or will this sound odd?

Now your adding extra confusion suggesting a P90.

I read a page by Lollar about the comparison and I think I like the sound of the Firebirds more. I'll have to see what's available.

Firebird pickup or Mini Humbucker in Tele neck?

I want to try a new style of pickup in my tele neck position, I fancy trying a Firebird pickup or Mini Humbucker - but how do they compare to each other, can anyone help? Youtube vids seem a bit scarce for these pickups in the tele neck position, particularly the Firebird. Recommendations of actual ...

Boss VB-2W

Yep, Boss are releasing a Waza Craft VB-2W with a custom switch - but I have no idea what that does. There's also a load more new stuff including a Waza Craft amp, Vocoder pedal and a new Bass Compressor pedal.
