I'm not a Strat expert by any stretch of the imagination but I understand that those models manufactured before 1980 are particularly prone to midrange crisis.BG wrote:but don't you find they have a confused midrange?

I understand that their once tight and punchy mids become saggy - accompanied (and possibly caused) by a thinning of finish on the headstock and/or aged springs creating lack of tension and reduced performance of the trem.BG wrote:do they suddenly get the urge to buy a porshce? or if too tight, an MR2?matman wrote:I'm not a Strat expert by any stretch of the imagination but I understand that those models manufactured before 1980 are particularly prone to midrange crisis.BG wrote:but don't you find they have a confused midrange?

It's true! The munted ones generally sound best.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
