Suppose I change the pick ups I may not like the sound. I've replaced the pick ups on my Squier Matt Freeman for spb4 then spb2. Now thinking going back to stock pick ups to get that raw sound back.

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1478386318' post='3168822'] He about some nice P90s, like the original 50s and 60s Gold Tops? THse are the Gold Tops people pay really big money for and they do sound amazing and very distinctive. [/quote] Don't like the look of P90s. They probably sound good

[quote name='randythoades' timestamp='1478186453' post='3167390'] Just to stir the cauldron a little... if it sounds brilliant, why the interest in changing the pickups? Not that I have any problem changing pickups but it is usually to address a perceived deficiency somewhere. An extra vote for Tonerider, they do some great sounding pickups. Before you change the pickups I would change the wiring loom for a decent replacement; it is cheaper to do and you may find the stock pickups really open up with higher quality pots and caps. [/quote] I've got no experience with wiring loom.Can you elaborate please?

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1477996650' post='3165778'] Gold top, a proper LP I know nothing about Irongear pickups, sorry. However, if you're looking for a specific tone, drop DiMarzio a line. I have found them to be super helpful on many occasions, even receiving replies from pickup guru, Steve Blucher himself. [/quote] I've considered Dimarzio but heardon't iron gear is just as good for less than half price

[quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1477995897' post='3165766'] Might be worth a look at [url="http://www.tonerider.com/humbuckers"]Tonerider[/url] pickups, their sound samples are very good and they're similar pricing. They're what Andyjr1515 of this parish puts in his builds - Alnico IV Classics, I believe. [/quote] Nice one I don't live very far from them

I purchased my first Les Paul. It's an Epiphone Les Paul gold top with humbuckers. It was made in Korean unsung factory in 2003. It sounds brilliant.But I'm thinking replacing the pickups with Irongear pickups. Blues engine to neck and dirty torque to bridge. Any opinions ?

Thanks for your help. I have a read through.

Wanted floyd rose for a guitar project

Any left?

Got any left?

Is the schematic to the link correct provided all the components work?

[quote name='samhay' timestamp='1475943011' post='3149976'] Only thing to add is that if you are building a clone using old PNP transistors, it may be positive ground and you will thus have trouble getting the DC jack to play nice with other effects. What are you building?

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1475922541' post='3149767'] To have a status LED you will need a 3PDT switch. The size of the LED doesn't matter, and it won't affect the sound, but you will need to add a resistor (say 1k) in series with it. Like this: [/quote] Brilliant

Sorry folks for not replying but used to get notifications.Didn't think anyone responded.

I'm about to build a clone fuzz pedal. I want to add led and dc socket. 1. Does adding an led require adding capacitor etc. 2.what size of led? I'm thinking 3mmm. 3.is the led going to interfere with the sound? 4.anything else I need to know? Thank you in advance

I've been using 2i2 for a year. Initially I was pulling my hair out. But after 2 weeks of experimenting I love it now. Wish I had the unlimited track version of Ableton live.

I don't think straps alone will solve the issue. Keeping fit and lower back strength exercises might help.

That looks cool. But as Rhys says: I've got plasterboard walls - the answer in my house is to use no-nails to stick some wood to the wall, then mount on that. Don't know as I want to do that too much though. It could end up with wood blocks all over the place. It's floor-stands for me too. [/quote] I've got solid brick walls so shouldn't be an issue although prefer floor stand but not safe with the baby around.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1474897360' post='3141321'] I'm sure that's great and good luck with it... whatever it is.

Can anyone recommend a reliable wall guitar mount. The ones on Amazon appear to have fake reviews.

Matt Freeman. Got one and loving it.
