Re: The Forumcaster
Leave those pickups alone! Paint it blue, to match the Jansen clone, then everything is likely to resolve itself.

Re: The Forumcaster
You could just leave it alone and swap it for my Vox HDC-77, only because I have never owned an offset guitar and it would be nice to try one.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: The Forumcaster
I have gold foils in my Duesenberg- Slowy has heard them in action and they’re anything but microphonic or awful. Lots of companies other than Lollar making them. Mine are from Mojo Pickups UK.Single coil wrote:P90s.
Nothing that requires routing.
Haven’t heard anything good about foils that isn’t nostalgic rose tinted wank (originals were microphonic and awful etc).
Dimarzio make a huge range of p90 size HBs - perhaps one of those at the bridge.
Mini hums will fit with the standard surrounds- they’re a drop in replacement.
I’d look at options from Jess Loureiro and Q pickups too- they make great pickups for reasonable prices.

This is a very good option, Slowy. Those Voxs are great guitars.sizzlingbadger wrote:You could just leave it alone and swap it for my Vox HDC-77, only because I have never owned an offset guitar and it would be nice to try one.

Re: The Forumcaster
Yes, that is a very generous offer. Switchable coils on the Vox will give you the lower-output sounds you want, as well as the standard humbucker.Conway wrote:This is a very good option, Slowy.

Re: The Forumcaster
I seem to recall my 6 coil pickup sounded good through the 4/12 Jansen. Could try it on the gat i suppose...Conway wrote:Leave those pickups alone! Paint it blue, to match the Jansen clone, then everything is likely to resolve itself.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

This is tempting but I remember the Vox's having ridiculously tiny necks.Conway wrote:This is a very good option, Slowy.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
