Hello!
I posted this thread in the effect section first, maybe the wrong section.....
So here it is:
I am looking for a fat, smooth, greasy, with buttery mids, and vintage flavor tone.... Something for blues/classic rock/ hard rock... think the smooth Slash tone in neck, and thick greasy with enough bite tone in bridge... I'm not really into Peter Green, Clapton, Kossoff, Allman..... tone. I'm more into an overwound PAF I think, than a pure PAF tone.
Here is the combo I thought about:
- Rio Grande BBQ + Duncan APH1n (cheapest)
- pair of WCR Goodwoods
- pair of Bare Knuckles The Mule (alnico IV)
- pair of Voodoo 57 PAF (the smoothest of the Voodoo's)
For now I have a Duncan Custom + Pearly Gates neck. Good PUs, but I would like a smoother more liquid neck and a bit more vintage (and smoother) bridge PU. They will go in a PRS CU22 which is plenty punchy, with pronounced high and lows.
I tried the DBs in my PRS, but was not completly happy with them. Good output , but too much treble and lack of mids for the bridge PU. Not enough smooth. Nice PUs, I don't blame them... just not my taste.
I have in another guitar a pair of Bare Knuckle Nailbomb and Riff Raff and love them
But I need another tone for the PRS. Tim @BK told me about the Mule (Alnico IV). Peter Florance thought about the 57's. And I know that a lot of you like the Goodwoods.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
