I was thinking of coming along with a car full of guitars each with a different set of my pickups covering the whole range. Here’s your chance to try some out guys, you can listen to sound samples for ever but you can’t beat playing them yourself. Anyone keen to try?

Saw the video you put up on FB of the guy using the "Tui" (?) set ... you were thinking SRV and the guy just shredded. His tone was MASSIVE

I won't be there, but look forward to hearing the feedback of others! Especially the P-90s...
The P90s are dope. I have a set of humbucker sized ones in my 335. Here’s a clip

Fuck me, that's tone. Suspect much of it is in those fingers, but the pickups aren't doing any harm.

I can't tell you how how much that fucks with my head! :rofl:

When I buy cars I carry a tape measure to make sure they'll fit my cabs in the back!

That'd be a great Halloween song for The Wiggles.

That's all... I'll be quiet now...

Will bring attenuators! Also a very polite wee Bogner, A Gretsch or two, a Duesenberg, and a shitload of reverb. Can also bring a stinky old Martin and a Blonde Fender AB165 Bassman clone If anyone is interested.
Interested!

Now that was something special. Could fit three Marshall Cabs in the back... upright... plus guitars and monolithic pedal board.... without dropping the rear seat.

But it couldn't match the Hilux going to Hamilton! :D
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.
