hmm...do u saw seymour duncan SH-4 JB model there?

Thanks

Now I'm thinking of getting a Jeff Beck Humbucker for the ol' strat......... probably when I get my amp end of the year.......

Or is there any other humbucker you can recommend that is more edgy but still retains most of the strat's sound?

i had a JB before in a charvel.
very good for rock/metal, but no way does it retain any part of a strat sound.
perhaps if it was wired for splitting, then the single coil part might do it, tho i never did try.

Hmmmmmmm cool. cool...... Any other suggestions for a Humbucker in it then? Would want to play some Green Day stuff too..... that's why I wanted a Humbucker init.....

greenday? thought he uses the duncan invader?
i would guess most decent humbuckers would be able to pull off greenday stuff.
only question would be is the split coil sound good enough for that strat sound.

Yeah....... Looks like it's going to be split coil config for me..... Anyone knows a reasonablly priced humbucker for me???

hey guys.. is there any different between humbucker and trembucker?... is it just the size or does it affect the sound?

browsed through seymour duncan's site.. and noticed that there is sh-4 as well as tb-4

try putting in ur epiphone stock humbuckers in it

trembuckers pole pieces is spaced for floyd rose guitars, ie. pole pieces wider apart.

haha...then it would be weird.....less strat with hubucking pickup......tele with humbucking still acceptable.....

wanna ask u guys who replace their pickup before......how do u deal with ur ex-stock pickup? just keep it into drawer?

take them apart and try to rewire them. Or if you dont want them give them to me
I learning to rewire PUs now... And i don't want to spoil mine

I'm thinking of changing my bridge pickup.... having a tough time deciding between a Seymour Duncan SH4 JB Model and a DiMarzio Steve's Special... I'm slightly more inclined towards the Steve's Special though... I wonder if Woh Fatt has them. Other than them any other shops carry DiMarzio's?

i think bentley are the distributors for both duncan and dimarzio.

Noob Question:
what pickups does an Ibanez GRG270 use? i mean, i dono how to identify them/differntiate them.

it should be ibanez models, nothing famous... to know the exact reference, check out the website (i'm too lazy, sorry )

Hmmm.... called Bentley, they don't carry DiMarzio's.
And Woh Fatt doesn't have the Steve's Special.
I think the SD JB Model isn't suitable for my guitar coz of the floating trem, the string distance is wider. DiMarzio has F-spaced models to cater for these.
SD's trembucker series are designed to cater for floating trems but the sound doesn't capture my taste.

btw, criptonox... Bentley is selling the JB Model for RM340.

between normal pickups and F-spaced, with distortion etc i seriously doubt anyone will be able to tell the difference.

oh...thanks...u tried it out today?

i was just think of asking u to get one more for me.....when i read the following post...u've change ur mind....hahaha

u're planning to solder the sh-4 to ur grx?

You're right i guess... perhaps if u listen carefully, an F spaced will have just slightly better string balance but I doubt most people will be able to notice.

Nope, i called Bentley.

choosing pickups is a tough task... You can't just plug and test and try another till you're happy. Unlike other stuff like amps and effects. I'm only basing my decision on sound clips, descriptions and reading lots of reviews.

I haven't got anything yet leh...
planning to put the Steve's Special into my RG1570 bridge position.
