Sounds awesome!!! 🙌

After doing loads of pickup swaps over the years, my advice, just start with standard Strat wiring and add a humbucker, play it for a bit and see if you like it. If too dark, change the wiring. My HSS Strat has a fender Shawbucker with 250k pots and it sounds great!

still waiting

Gosh, no one’s asked me to do that before. 😅 it’s a great idea but I don’t think I’ll have the time. I learned by googling for a guitar tab.

@@Motocoupemusic I recently started learning guitar I play bass though but man learning guitar you just can't avoid scales work I actually commented before I watches it a couple more times I think I can watch you play and practice a couple times and get it but it's gonna take some time

@@mrright3448 - for sure it’s tough. Especially when it’s all little licks like this. It takes some time. Keep at it and good luck 👍

Hehe, yup that’s what I was going for. Good spot. It was a cool guitar, but the HSH wasn’t for me, I think I prefer the HSS. But it was really cool. 👌

@@Motocoupemusic he's my fav guitarist along with Mike Davis from Nocturnus. Neck pickup was a paf 36 or a super dist?

@@lovecraftmusic8717 - DiMarzio 36th paf in the neck, bare knuckle boot camp brute force middle (it sucked) and super distortion in the bridge naturally 😆

@@Motocoupemusic yeah, aside the middle pickup it was the exact configuration of Dave Murray. I have to try the paf 36 yet. What didn't like about it?

@@lovecraftmusic8717 - It was a DM replica build. But with a SSOASS vibe. Dave used a similar colour ESP Strat on the Seventh Son tour. The 36th sounded awesome, don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t that I didn’t like it. I just love the sound of a Strat single coil neck pickup. I currently have an Ltd Eclipse with twin 36th PAFs in it and that sounds killer!! I need to do some more reviews! 😜

tone pots are not in the circuit the way a volume pot is. The signal in simple terms goes from pickup through volume pot to output jack. The tone put attaches to a lug on the volume pot and sends treble to ground by sending it to the tone cap as you turn it counter-clockwise. The tone cap rejects the lows but lets the highs bleed to ground.

It's the other way around!

@@CubensisRecords oh yea, my bad lmao🤣🤣

Thanks man!!! I can’t disagree, I’ll have to give this standing thing a go! 🤘

Took me forever man and still this day I sit and play sometimes, but remember we gotta train like we fight! When your playing for 3 or 3000 people you won't be sitting down! I have t o remember it myself.

@@Motocoupemusic maybe you teach me some lessons on recording yourself and how you use this program to make your videos, I'm down right awful at it.

@@bruggmanbrandon5272 - that’s a good idea for a video actually! I’ll think about it, ironically, I don’t know how I’d film it 🤣🤣

My esp H1000 has seymour duncan jb pickups and they aren't hot. I mean you can get enough gain with a distortion pedal added before the amp. I can a bit of mid frequency boost in them. I recently heard a pair of stock schecter Diamond plus pickups in a schecter C6 deluxe and am thinking about trying to find a pair to replace my seymour Duncan jb's they have twice the gain and output.

You do realize that Edward Van Halen's original frankenstrat had a 500K volume knob and no tone knob with one pickup right? He did not usually use high output humbuckers so there was no reason to tame them anyway

@@RGZ112 I have to respectfully disagree with you man. Ed did use high output pickups. If you watch Jim Gaustad's videos he debunks the low output pickup myth. Jim's tone is just too damn close to believe otherwise! He uses a Super Distortion which is in the 13 to 14 k range, a Seymour Duncan JB which is in the 15 to 16k range. These are not low output pickups! Ed liked to use reverse psychology to throw people off of the path., if he said low output he was really using high output pickups. Ed was also a bullshitter, you had to take what he said with a grain of salt! While he might have used a Duncan 59 occasionally he also used a variety of other high output pickups! A good example of Ed's B.S. was him saying he wound his own pickups. You have to ask yourself how is a guy who can't wire a pickup cavity is capable of winding pickups? Watch Jim Gaustad's videos you will see what I'm talking about. He gets very close, scary close! Another component to Ed's tone is the studio reverb and added mike compression, but that is a whole other rabbit hole!

@@Marshall-uy2dv Some of what you're saying is true. But will never know the full truth regarding what Edward did. A lot of people on You Tube like to analyze him after the fact. Have you heard that the humbucker in the Kramer 5150 had a broken coil? Do you think that was a high output pickup?

@@RGZ112 Interesting point, and you're right all we can do is speculate! But one thing to consider is there isn't a brown sound there are basically six versions of it all different from the next! Ed was a tinkerer, always changing always evolving, so I can concede that he used both high and low output. Anyway watch Jim's videos, they are entertaining and impressive as to how close he really gets! He is a very talented guy!

Different strokes for different folks. I personally don’t detest anything, for me variety is the spice that makes guitars so fun! 👌

@@Motocoupemusic I know your type. You're the reason why everything is so phuked up. Sorry excuse for a man, you stand for nothing.

@@papawx3 🤣🤣🤣 have a lovely day man!

The Seymour Duncan 'Hot Rails' single pick up which for all intents and purposes is a true humbucker made my blue Strat - the exact same colour of the Strat in this video - seriously cracking oomph wise.I have a HSS, Dimarzio Super Distortion humbucker and 2 SD Hot Rails. But I am now going to remove the neck SD Hot Rails and put in another Dimarzio SD into the neck. So it'll look similar to Mick Mars' super Strat "Isabella". It's all about personal choice really. What sounds you want to get. The beauty of a twin humbucker Les Paul is what the icon Ace Frehley once said in that the head stock of a LP is tilted unlike a Strat and SpaceAce believes this gives more sustain. Gibson really do need to reduce their guitar pricing. You can get a Fender HSS with Fender humbuckers/single coils for around $1,200, and once you've modded it the price outlay is still far below the entry level LP.

For humbuckers?

Thank you 🙏

Thanks man!!
