:doh: i knew there was something wrong with my post

I’ve always been a bit skeptical about the pedal bag too. I’m not really sure if it’s necessary for EHX to make a boss-style pedal board either, though, but it’s very difficult to explain my reasoning, other than that EHX make a vast array of pedals in different shapes and sizes which would make it difficult to market a board like that.

I think my favourite single coil pickups are the Rickenbacker “hi-gain” hot single coils and the DeArmond single coils commonly supplied with Gretsch guitars. Both of those guitar brands seem to automatically give access to that crisp, clear sound which is the guitar sound i live for.

As for Humbuckers, Filtertrons are a favourite, and Mini-Humbuckers like those you find on a Firebird.

I’m not much of a fan of Gibson style “standard size” humbuckers in general. I know the aftermarket selection is very diverse and there definitely are some that i like, but in general these pickups seem to lack the clarity and sparkle that i desire, and sound dead, to my ears. Although, i do love them for soulful bluesy lead work!

Mostly though i just keep the stock pickups in my guitars and try to do whatever i can to get the sound i want out of them before i seek out a replacement set. this method has only failed me once, and that was with my cheaptastic epiphone les paul junior (The plywood version) which i’ll be getting a HB sized P-90 for soon. (i REALLY want to love the sound of that guitar, because it really is a freakishly good guitar to play, despite being cheap. Mine is a one-off though, i think, as most of them are junk)

I see no reason why the LPB wouldn’t work for bass.

Where you position it in your signal chain depends on the effect you’re going for – generally, to simply boost the volume it would go after the muff, but there’s no harm in experimenting – putting it before the muff will result in less of a volume boost and more of a gain boost.

I don’t have any videos.

The only band i’m in at the moment is one which the college i go to created at the start of the academic year which seems to have lived on. We have had a short set recorded, though, as well as being filmed playing 1 song the next day in a small theatre as part of the college “showcase” (as a result, theres more singers, and some extra people on percussion as well). But i don’t yet have copies of either.

I know there’s a video from the same theatre gig where basically we all switched over and performed with different people, lurking around on youtube, but it’s such a bad quality recording it’s not worth looking for. It’s a rendition of Mr Tambourine man with me on 12-string guitar/backing vocals..

yeah, it looks nicer than on sites like UG where people post in coloured fonts and it clashes against the light grey background. That hurts my eyes.

Maybe there could be some kind of colour scheme option, keep this as the default setting as it matches the rest of the website, but allow people to select an “inverted” version?
