[@anthonyroach7974]

Great playing and so tone full to great feel ..fine pick ups to beautiful tone ..

[@timothydeleon5179]

Thats a nice tone you got there man! Im considering toneriders now because of your vids. May i ask a question if u dont mind? For this classic rock sound may i know whats your amp eq settings? And how low do you dial in the gain? Tnx in advance man:)

[@markwright9352]

I do like you're style Matt!! Let's have some peter green or Paul kossoffs!!!!

[@mattrobinson]

Mark Wright Cheers Mark, will do

That neck pickup sounds really clear and articulate.. Im looking for a neck pup to replace my muddy gibson 57 classic .. Are you happy with those pups mate?

[@mattrobinson]

Yeah, they are the best pickups I’ve had. Not sure about how they compare to the 57s though. I’ve always thought the 57s were on the bright side

[@sheilalawrence2644]

Hey thanks for the reply. Disregard the other 2 places I posted the same question LOL

[@mattrobinson]

Jay Lawrence ha ha no probs

[@msshallie]

Matt, do you have the Alnico II set up for coil splitting? Or would you see any reason to do it. I'm ordering a Tonerider set of for a Harley SC-550 and just wonder if I should have it wired to at least have a parallel option (similar to coil splitting).

[@mattrobinson]

J Lawrence hi, no these are standard wiring. I decided not to bother with coil splitting anymore as I had it done on my last guitar and wasn't a big fan of it. I prefer to just use strats n teles for single coil tones

[@julian4672]

Would you suggest alnico 2 than rocksongs? :) by the way superb playing there mate.

[@mattrobinson]

Thanks, yeah personally I prefer the alnico 2’s. They sound more classic and are more versatile. The rock songs are more pushed and not as natural sounding to me

[@julian4672]

@@mattrobinson Thanks men. Planning to replace my stock pups and might go with toneriders.

[@mattrobinson]

Julian Do it, great pickups

[@julian4672]

@@mattrobinson probably will. thanks for your recommendation, i'll just wait until the current pandemic crisis will subside hehe.

[@patswayze2493]

What made you go with alnico iv in the neck? Great tone and playing by the way.

[@marcoandersson7336]

Hi, whats that song you play 0:50 in clip? Thanks alot and i love your sound🤘

[@mattrobinson]

Marco Andersson thanks man, it's just something I was working on, need to make it into a song

[@marcoandersson7336]

matt robinson yes i think you need that:) i have listen to most of your clip and you have your own sound and way to play and its sounds amaizing.🤘 hope to hear more from you.

[@mattrobinson]

Marco Andersson thanks a lot my friend. Very nice of you : )

[@Emiroj]

Wow man, I didn't notice it was a harley benton at first sight. Sounded very good so I started to read the description and realised its a "budget" guitar from thomann. Proves you don't need high end gear. I thought it was a Gibson les paul studio first :) Nice! Would you recommend the pickups? I don't want to spend like 200 bucks on slash alnico 2 if they sound this good.

[@mattrobinson]

Cheers man, yeah its actually my fav guitar and only cost me less than 100 new! Putting the toneriders in has transformed it into an absolute tone machine. I cant recommend the pickups enough. Never tried the slash set but they are same magnets and pretty much the same spec so I would go for the Tonerider's as they are way cheaper : )

[@Emiroj]

Thank you man :) Sounds great!

[@mattrobinson]

+Emiroj cheers, glad to help : )

[@joshuabenoit3744]

I see you changed the setup to a 2 in the bridge and 4 in the neck. Do you prefer that to just a set of 2’s?

[@mattrobinson]

Joshua Benoit after trying both ways, I actually just prefer a set of 2’s
