And... to add to the potential unfairness... the burstbuckers probably would be just fine for me if I didn't have the EJs in the vicinity for instant A/B comparison.Delayman wrote:Not sure if that comparison is fair tbh. The burstbuckers do sound much worse (muddy), but if my guitar started out sounding like that, i'd be reaching for the eq. Then the EJ might have sounded shrill.codedog wrote:The cleans through that Vox made the BB's sound like a ball of mud. It really chimed beautifully.
But the EJs do sound very clear.

I'm with ya there. Pentatonics much.codedog wrote:Interesting... I have to see what other gear he has. I have just listened to a bit of that tune again for the second time ever. Wow, it still did absolutely nothing for me. To my uncouth ears it even rendered the tone somewhat bland. I actually liked the demos I have heard of the pickups, perhaps it was just the tune that affected how my ears heard that tone?slash-ed wrote:Cliffs of Dover was actually mostly recorded on a 335!codedog wrote: I have never associated him with humbucker guitars much.
