Doing up the oul strat

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 3:18pm

Fey, somtimes... y'know, sometimes you... well, y'know

My logic is this: This is a guitar for big, f-off riffs, slow, heavy bastid crushing riffs and who do you go to when you want the best riffs? Tony Iommi of course. I think if the man puts his name to a pickup (Gibsons first ever signatue pickup) then it's got to be good. I want to humbucker up the strat, so 2+2...

feylya · 13-05-2005 3:20pm

7?

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 3:23pm

Y'see, you're assuming I actually want or might use a high E string

feylya · 13-05-2005 3:26pm

No I'm not. Just use an Epiphone Les Paul Baritone

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 3:28pm

Let me get back to ya on that one

Trust me, this is going to sound fantastic when its done... it's a big step for me trying something that isn't a JB

feylya · 13-05-2005 3:29pm

Ah, just stick an EMG 85 in there instead. A nice white one. With a black pickguard and white knobs.

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 3:30pm

Stick 1985 in there :eek:

Have to say, I'm not a fan of the colour of your strat or your choice in scratchplates but I am intrigued as to how the pickup will sound.

bonzai bob · 13-05-2005 3:44pm

hush hush

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 3:46pm

Fey, I'm not getting a white pickup, end of story

feylya · 13-05-2005 3:47pm

Fair enough.

That's the Iommi pickup....

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 3:49pm

White reflection, eh?

Ahhh decisons, decisions. We'll se how it goes, I might stick the Iommi pickup in the Eggle (which it would suit to a 'T') and put the JB in the strat...

I believe the correct response is "Zing!"

Yes, the JB in the strat could be an idea.

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 3:55pm

I was more thinking of the Iommi in this

feylya · 13-05-2005 3:56pm

Yes, I can see how that could work.

But that carpet man... ****ing METAL!

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 3:58pm

When I get this done, I'll take a pic of it on the carpet, worry not

feylya · 13-05-2005 4:01pm

Feck it, put the pickup in the carpet!

This man speaks sense

Ancient1 · 13-05-2005 4:09pm

Why dont you just get another TI pup and put one in the strat and one in the Eggle? It would definitely suit the Eggle

And while you're at it, stick one in the carpet, as fey says.
It'll increase the value of your house when you remortgage it to help me buy that cherry red 64 strat.

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 4:09pm

occasionally, yes...

...shame today isn't one of those days

feylya · 13-05-2005 4:14pm

Hey! Shut up!

Ancient1 · 13-05-2005 4:15pm

Well, i hope that you dont throw in the towel after all the "expert" advice you got from us today!

SirLemonhead · 13-05-2005 4:16pm

Put some Mattias Jabs black stripes on it :cool:

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 4:20pm

Matthias Jabs only plays pointy guitars... he'd kick my sorry ass back to Heidelburg

Ancient1 · 13-05-2005 4:21pm

Hey, i used to live in Heidelberg.

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 4:22pm

You used to do a lot of things... what have you done lately?

Ancient1 · 13-05-2005 4:23pm

Lately i've been spending too much time on the internet

feylya · 13-05-2005 4:27pm

Haven't we all...

Ancient1 · 13-05-2005 4:29pm

Right. Enough is enough.

It's Friday 1730hrs and i am going home for a bite to eat and a sixpack. Might resume this lunacy later.
In the meantime i leave you with a Swedish vintage guitar shop. It's clean i promise.

He's known well enough too for his strat collection. Never had one striped though, so you could beat him to that..

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 4:35pm

It'd be a hollow victory, I could never take satisfaction out of ruining a day of the life of the man who rocked me like a hurricane last month

SirLemonhead · 13-05-2005 4:36pm

I couldn't hear any of his leads

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 4:37pm

We were on his side of the stage, could hear them there. He rocked

SirLemonhead · 13-05-2005 4:38pm

Ah I was on Rudis side. I'd never seen them before, and hadn't heard anything by them before that. I'd have gone to the lead guitarists side had I known who he was

Doctor J · 13-05-2005 4:39pm

He rocked too, on a grand selection of V's. You can have no complaints
