Looks real clean!

I've been using a lot more alternate picking lately - starting with an upstroke.

I had an epiphone korina flying V for a while and really loved the way it played and sounded. It was a much nicer feeling guitar than the Gibson faded that I had owned before it.

Is that the gator case? It looks great!

I just picked up a Squier VM Jag - it's a really nice guitar. I knew I wanted to throw in new pickups, but I also came across a relatively simple wiring mod that allows you to connect both pickup in either parallel or series. I really like the way it turned out. I think I will probably alternate a l...

Looks like money well spent. I just wish he had two of them.

You could replace the volume pot with a 250k, and it should be very close to having both the volume and tone pots. If it's still too bright, you could add a resistor - either at the pot, or in line with the hot lead of the pickup.

We have a new album coming out on Vinyl. It's a split album between Sycamore Smith, and Streetlight Manifesto/Catch-22 frontman Toh Kay. I play bass in Sycamore's band. We covered Streetlight Manifesto songs, and Toh Kay covered Sycamore Smith songs. You can check out a preview video, if you're inte...

I love having the AC tone handy. It's really quite nice sounding, and I've found that it's fairly sturdy. I also use it on my pedal board as a "second channel" when I'm playing bass.

I make my treble-bleeds "Duncan" style, and have never run into any reliability issues.

Good stuff, Tim! Thanks for sharing

I've always liked Steve Kilbey's Bass VI playing.

thanks! I've got an 8ohm speaker somewhere that I'm going to pop into it.

Yeah, I was fairly surprised by how responsive the amp could be. It has a channel volume, gain, and master volume, and when tweaked just right, it does a fairly decent job of emulating some tube breakup.

hear's a little demo using the amp!

Sadly, I don't think I could get excited enough about pickups to want to go into making them commercially. It's not like the pedal business leaves me the time anyway at the moment. I checked the pickup forum, and the obvious big expense is the winding machine. To make one or two it could be possibl...
