This is the way 👍🏼 @TheGreek I’ll give you a sub so you can post there if you like. I’d love to buy Nick’s Vigier Arpege but I fear I won’t be able to afford it right now. I’ll see if I can sell some things.

This is the way 👍🏼

Hi folks I just saw this post https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/instruments_de_musique/2966166271 I still keep an eye out for Vigier things and I thought these pickups looked interesting. The single coil Benedetti pickups are indeed fantastic but can be noisy in some applications and before they introduced the hum reducing circuit. Cheers ped

Absolute shambles from start to finish

Interesting, thanks. It suddenly occurred to me that the earliest ones I have seen are on 66 mustangs. What did Daphne blue 66 stands have, plain white?

That’s what made me think - was it introduced on the mustang and than made available on the P and J, or was it found on those before 66?

More pickguard chat - what year did Fender start making white pearloid?

Ah I didn’t read that. Sounds right!

…and look at the body pics with the scratchplate removed. It’s been repositioned south. Probably because of shrinkage.

Maybe. But mine shrunk and pulled the screws instead of cracking. When I had it re fitted I had the choice of having the gap either at the control plate or the neck pocket. If you look closely at the pics maybe you can see a slight ghosting where the plate used to be (I think I can but I’m on my phone and perhaps imagining it). No expert on necks though so who knows, although a neck swap wouldn’t explain the pickguard gap anyway.

Doesnt surprise me! Somehow vintage always seems to equal ‘amazing’ regardless

It may have shrunk and been repositioned

yeah I really want to try those!

How did you rate the Haz Mutron to the Micro?

Ah yes, verticalscope. Using terms like 'reach out' 🤢 I've been approached by them (reached out to? reached around?) a few times and they didn't seem like a remotely safe pair of hands.

I don’t suppose you can change the sensitivity internally. Just goes to illustrate how finding the best filter for your own style also needs to take into account the output and bandwidth of your instrument.

Is there anything this chap won’t endorse 😂

Nobody matching that name appears in the admin panel, though it would only appear if the name was part of their email address or payment address

Are the input/outputs the opposite way round as they are on the Mutron (Musitronics and Haz)? That's caught a few people out before!

Great isn't it!! here's some more info

Only one left now, but couldn’t be happier.

Maybe not so much these days!
