Members thom Posted August 28, 2013 Members Share Posted August 28, 2013 My Eastwood Sidejack does:(It's my first baritone guitar ever, so for all I know it's just how the lower frequencies and thicker strings respond to dirty amps or pedals. It's not like I'm after a chugga chugga modern'ish brootalz or anything.My doom/sludge jams with my new sidejack are still fun, but I wish I had a bit more detail, not defenition, tight attack...Whatever you'd describe my normal guitar tone when I'm not playing the baritone. To some extend I guess it makes sense, I should expect miracles from a super cheap instrument like the eastwood. And I know that compared to electric guitarsn bass guitars usually tend to sound flubby and loose with dirt as well...Still, is it worth trying different pickups in there. I don't want to spend more than GFS prices though. Would mini humbuckers make sense? Nice bonus: Not much -if any- extra routing required:)I really like those in regular guitars, but I'm not sure what to expect of em in the Eastwood baritone:s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jpnyc Posted August 28, 2013 Members Share Posted August 28, 2013 Not all baritones sound muddy. It might be the pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ugameus Posted August 28, 2013 Members Share Posted August 28, 2013 Mine does not. I use Lollar Firebird pickups in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members D Carroll Posted August 28, 2013 Members Share Posted August 28, 2013 It shouldn't. I'd go through the cheaper steps first, new pots and fiddling with the height of the pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thecakeguru Posted August 29, 2013 Members Share Posted August 29, 2013 As much as I dont like active pickups, i could see them being very practical in a baritone... Full, clear sound... Try re eq'ing the amp first, as others have said... my bet is its the pickup though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted August 29, 2013 Members Share Posted August 29, 2013 No. I have a PRS Private Stock Baritone that is geared towards more modern sounding music. My Danelectro Baritone doesn't sound so good with a lot of juice on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
