GraemeC Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Easy solution would be to turn the motherfucker up a peg......cost = 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Suppose it depends on taste but my DiMarzio X2N cuts the mustard, fucking ace pickup! (and it looks sweet too ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Originally posted by GraemeC Easy solution would be to turn the motherfucker up a peg......cost = 0 hard to do if you dont want to bee too loud for the whole thingit might be an idea to buy and eq or boost pedal, an eg pedal can really help you stand out, what settings do you use on your amp? if you use a scooped type of sound (highish bass and treble, low mids) then that will stop you from standing out, and eq could help you out temperarily for solosit would probably be a good idea to go to the seymore duncan site (www.seymoreduncan.com i think) and have a look there, they have sound clips of all their pickups and a tone chart that lets you see roughly what they will sound likeDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig deadenstereo Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I use a Danelectro fish'n'chips EQ for a solo boost.Also a compresser pedal is useful. Adds more sustain, can give a volume boost, can makes the notes run together better and boost the level of ones yuo fluff or not hit hard enough.The Marshall one is 45 and also comes with a "Craig's" reccomendation.

Yeah, I have a Boss Compression Sustainer, I find it quite useful if I want to make a statement in the department of solos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 If you wanna not get lost then how about more trebly sound froma single coil...e.g installing a push pot which splits your bridge humbucker...giving you a tone to stand out. The EQ pedal would work in same way, raising both volume and changing EQ...pretty sure Dan Atom uses one?Seymore Duncan pick-up boster if you wanna be fancy...6Db to 25Db boost with 3 EQ shapes...see latest Guitarist mag for review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leckie Gilman Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 well in my opinion, single coils are the way forward for solo's n shit.single coils all the way. but in the bridge position they are useless so humbuckers there. but yeah single coils for solos most definately.
