Sorry for what I see as a ridiculously large photo.  Let me see if I can fix that.

When you play in a Hair Metal Tribute band, you can play some really "Hot" (or stupid) guitars that most people would love to have but won't get!  LOL

The Pickup Place / Re: New Tone Charts!?!

Yes, I did notice this, and I am not generally a fan.

As mentioned, if you told me what the cutoffs were, that would be awesome. 

And for some pickups, I probably don't want low/high mids distinguished.

I agree - Marketing and Milenials just changing things without asking if it was wanted or better.

The mini bar (off topic & misc) / Sam Ash can KISS my Ace Goodbye

Sam @$$ online let me order a wireless receiver. And then they sent me a receipt and everything.

After no shipped message, I checked and it said "processing."  OK - weekend backlog.  Then after no word on it I called Customer Service. Guess what? It was on backorder and the Sam @$$ did not have the decency to let me know before I ordered, or when they found out.

I ordered from there BECAUSE other places had the item on back order.

Dooshbags just lost my online business forever.  Let it be known - Sam Ash does not provide accurate (or any as far as I can tell) back order info online.

They are here!  There are here! They are finally here!

And my early review:  I like'm!

Liquifire is a nice full sounding neck pickup, and pretty hot.  Similar to a Duncan A2P but a little tighter bass, and hotter.

The Crunch lab is very hot and also - get this - crunchy!  That said - the less gain, the more crunchy it gets.  On uber gain amp I didn't notice it as much.  It's a lot clearer than a Super D or TZ.  Not as fizzy/thick, but still full sounding.  Like it too.  It's in Petrucci config with the bar away from the bridge.  I might Swap when I change strings just to see.

OK - sad delay news.  They sat in a Sam Ash awaiting install, and they lost/never rehired a tech, so after a long long wait I took them to another guy.  Soon!!!!!!!!

The Pickup Place / Re: JCustom Bridge Pup Recommendations
« on: February 26, 2022, 02:02:22 PM »
I was gonna make 2 comments:

1. DiMarzio has a lot of mid honk generally.  BMt is DiMarzio.  If this is in a band...let it go when alone.  You'll send great.  But Duncans tend to be more BmT.

2. Do you need a hot bridge?  Try a PAF style.

Get the dirt from the amp.,  Buy the EQ curve in the pickup, not the heat.

How is it that you feel they are Great? 

I'm just throwing caution to the wind....
- feeling DiMarzio's for this guitar
- CL/LF is very popular
- Want to try something hip and new vs a SuperD/TZ etc...
- Kind of a shred / metal guitar.

What do YOU play and dig about them???

I have heard so much about these, and I just wanted something a little different.  I'm upgrading a Super Strat, so I thought "Why not?"

Pics when they are installed - custom color!

The Pickup Place / Re: Air Zone vs Super Distortion?
« on: December 15, 2021, 06:39:11 PM »
A Tone Zone, to me is a Super Distortion with a little "more" of everything.  A little hotter, a little bassier, a little thicker, a little fizzier etc.
The Air Zone is a a Tone Zone with a "little less" of everything. Except maybe highs.

Never really thought much about this...but an interesting question.  I guess I'd say they are very similar, but...the Air Zone is a more polite version of the SuperD.  Haven't played an Air Zone in a bit.  Have Tone Zones and SuperD's about. 

What do you want to play with it?
