Brave Sir Robin Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Customised my old Corvette '97 with a U-Retro and Wizard Vintage pickups. Very chuffed about the transformation. It's a bit noisy (single coil pickups) so the next step would be shield all the cavities. Was a bit scary drilling through the wood for the switches. Sounds nice, very clear, even with the old strings, and less midrangy and clanky than with the MEC stuff. I also need to have a tech to look at the frets. They are a bit worn. Then the transformation will be complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Sir Robin Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks, It's surprisingly easy to do really. As long as you don't have 10 thumbs, and have the equipment. The major concern was to know if everything would fit. The pre fitted well, however I misjudged the space for the battery compartment, but I found a good spot for it in the end so it's all good. Then the pickups slotted right in, although I wasn't sure at first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_u_y_* Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) I've always wondered what a Warwick would sound like with vintage-esque pups. Edited December 19, 2007 by s_u_y_* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A corvette would be nice but i doubt i'll have the money. Oh well i'll just have to get me an 8 year old vauxhall corsa, couple of bright blue spray cans, a 5" exaust pipe, neon lights underneath and put my SWR goliath in the back Edited December 18, 2007 by EdwardHimself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
