Yeah, i hate to think how much money got spent on pickups for Strats! The best i tried were the Dimarzio Virtual Vintage, which sounded like an okay copy of an okay Strat pickup. I expect more than "okay" out of my instruments! The Blueshawk has a much more sensible approach. It has a dummy coil in the back of the guitar that is used for pseudo-humbucking. It's not as quiet as a good humbucker, but it's better than most single-coils. And in general, it sounds better than 99% of the Strats in the world, and is more flexible than the other 1%. I'm quite happy with it. > > > Now i'm looping the feedback > > Cool! Any MP3's up somewhere? Not yet... i don't have a good recording setup yet, although it's on my list. Unfortunately, i also took up drumming recently, so i have yet another black hole to pour money into! However, i do have a gig coming up in March, along with a drummer i've been working with for a while. I'll do my best to tape it and get some mp3s up. -- -dave "...'cause she knows that it's demanding to defeat those evil machines..." -The Flaming Lips, _Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots pt. 1_
