I got to play the "official" re-issue Burns Tri-Sonic pickups loaded into a Peavey Raptor and they are unlike any other pickup I've ever played. Plugged them into a Rangemaster -> Vox AC15 and it was very Brian May. Sounded amazing but difficult to explain the difference. They sound like warm-yet-clear-bordering-on-bright in a way that is perfect for cleans and sounds REALLY nice into fuzzes. I guess the trick is, like the originals and much like Filtertrons, they have insanely low inductance/low magnetic pull. When boosted it sounds really "pure" and "glassy." There's a set on Reverb right now for $150. I'm not sure they'd be my every day pickups but they do sound cool in a refreshingly different way.

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:edit: I have this idea in my mind that I need 1 of every "type" of electric (mostly differentiated by pickups/scale length) and so far I have a Strat, Tele, SG and LP. That means I still don't have a Jazzmaster or a Firebird or a White Falcon.

Sitrep: I don’t think I love it, but I certainly don’t hate it. The controls are complicated, but it can get some good tones. After just a few minutes plugged in and wailing on it, I can definitely say Classic Vibe build quality is actually really solid (assuming they’re all at least this good). It feels just like one of my MIM Strats, just with a stickier gloss on the backside of the neck.

That’s right I forgot I need a Superstrat, too! I played one of those new Kramer SM-1s that are made in Korea and it felt and sounded amazing. But to be honest I’ll probably get a Charvel or a Jackson like everybody else except the Ibanez people.

will say again that telecaster pickups/sound/stability are all amazing. telecaster ergonomics are torture for me. not sure if it has to do with the fact that i have literally no muscle and a lifetime of some sort of eating disorder but i'm just too loving small/weak to play one so much of the time. no stomach contour hurts real bad.

What about a paranormal with a contour cut out on the back?

I feel the most innovative (and overlooked) thing Ned Steinberger did was designing Spector basses with the concave back.

My $100 base bird tele has a tummy cut and an elbow cut. Also the bridge has 6 saddles and the sides are flat instead of bent up like the classic ashtrays.

I don't think the G&L ASAT has the forearm contour on the top but it does have the tummy cut. If I had a reason to buy another guitar, I think I would look at G&L. The ASAT Classic does sound close to the classic Tele sound from the demos I've seen.

I have a G&L tribute and fullerton and they both own highly recommend either over a fender equivalent if you have the scratch to pay up for them

Just started trying to learn some horizontal scale patterns, specifically, 3 notes per string on two strings, shift, 3 notes per string on 2 strings, shift etc. I though it'd be hard to process, but no, I just realised it goes Major, Mixolyidan, Dorian, Minor etc.... It's patterns of fifths

That’s not the tone I was going for, apologies if it came off that way. I was more just making a joke about the patterns you find in both phenomena.

Spent a little bit more time with the Jaguar tonight and sheesh is it a bit of a beast. Lots of microphonic feedback if I push the gain. Starting to think I'm also not a big fan of the short scale either...

I'm not a great guitar player but I think I'm past the point of tolerating terrible guitars so I got myself an early bday present: A Squire J Mascis special edition Jazzmaster. I got it for a couple reasons. It seems to the most bang for the buck Jazzmaster at only $500. And it was recommended to me as I prefer fuzz/dirty over clean and apparently this guitar does that kind of sound really well. I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Starting to think I'm also not a big fan of the short scale either... I have a Special Player HH from about 13 years ago. Coincidentally, one of the guys I play with has the exact same model, which he recently got second-hand. I asked him how it was going and his only complaint was "when I flick these two switches down I can't get any sound"

The JMJMs actually have p90s under the JM pickup covers, right? I seem to remember that being a thing.

I swapped mine from the stock 09s to Ernie Ball 10.5s and I don't really notice a difference in feel swapping between the Jag and my Strat except the Jag has 22 frets to the Strat's 21.

The fact that the Katana-50 mk2 doesn’t have knobs for the internal noise gate is loving me up so hard. I want my hell distortion but I don’t want to blow my ears out and neither do I wanna lug my amp back and forth tweaking values on my PC  I am like halfway tempted to get a cheap noise gate pedal so I can continue to be lazy.

Nah, not sure it’s entirely worth it either, to be honest. I did a bit of googling and there are a ton of “must have” mods for this type of guitar, so now I’m just considering trading it for something simpler (i.e. that Tele I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for anyways).

i think i'm kinda over my jag lust mostly because i mute poo poo like crazy and will NEVER become more precise with my right hand, and the percussive sound of that guitar i think just kinda makes me sound like i'm not playing anything
