  1. I noticed some word got censored the other day... and it surprised me because it more or less refers to a dong.
  2. The VM is more Jazzmastery, if you like it for what it is. It's also very mod friendly.
  3. Mascis: Jumbo Frets Tailpiece closer to body Look a lot like P90 style pickups under the covers Anodized pickguard will affect tone Tune-O-Matic bridge VM: Medium Jumbo Frets Tailpiece is Vintage Correct Duncan Designed pickups (presumably closer to Jazzmaster pickups) Standard pickguard Vintage-style Bridge
  4. You want a Jazzmaster. You're just picky about the 'right one,' and honestly: they're finicky {censored}ers, aren't they? He used to cycle through guitars, too - in fact, he has a blog about just that. He went through a Mosrite phase, currently in a (bizarre and troubling) Flying V phase ... but his current #1 is a Telemaster; a sort of combination parts build/mod of a JM and Tele hybrid. There might be something to that. As much as I love Fender Mustangs, it wasn't until the fourth one that I found the one, one that felt, sounded, and looked perfect. So I had to spend some serious money to get it, but what's a little dough for a perfect guitar? I've modified the wiring and have a Mastery Bridge on it and really I feel like it's my signature guitar now. Try some high end Jazzmasters, most models don't really do justice to the AVRI models, except some good MIJ examples. If you find a Jazz with the perfect body and neck, modify it until the rest of it is perfect. It may take some money and time and effort to get there but many players heavily associated with Jazzmasters are just as known for the modifications they've performed to theirs.
  5. If your only problem with a 335 is that it's out of your price range, and you have multiple guitars and you've already had LPs, then isn't the natural thing to just go all in on a 335 to end it all? Nothing's going to stop your 335 desires, yo. Only a 335 will, and then you'll know whether it actually was your perfect guitar or not. Isn't it worth it to find out, rather than skirt the issue?
  6. I have the lace red/silver/blue set in my MIM strat, when I had the pickguard out to install them, I shielded the entire cavity with copper foil shielding. I can't tell I'm plugged in until I strike a note it's THAT quiet. sorta on the same topic, but has anyone tried a Lace Blue in the bridge position of their strat? if so, how do you like the sound? Blue in the bridge is nice. I had it in a Strat with Silver mid and Gold neck. I used silver most of the time and then blue for cutting through. Worked great.
  7. What makes you think I was implying that you didn't know that Lace makes real humbuckers? Man, touchy much.
  8. What's with your attitude? The point is Dually are not humbuckers because they're actually higher noise than single Sensors since you're adding two singles together with the same polarity. You can't have humbuckers if the coils are not bucking hum. If hum weren't an issue with Sensors*, Lace wouldn't make sets with a reverse middle pup, which if you've tried before, makes a big difference, even with these low-noise pickups. *and they definitely are, to an extent. I've picked up radio signals with a vintage Blue Sensor before. The newer ones have a green grounding wire so it's less likely to happen, but they still pick up a fair amount of noise, especially if you're around fluorescent lights, where just the angle you hold the guitar can make a huge difference as to how much noise you pick up. True noiseless singles w/ a humbucking design like DiMarzio or Kinman don't do that. Regardless, with good shielding, it's not a huge problem, but I never said it was.
  9. Lace Sensors are not noiseless. They're low-noise single coil pickups, the 60 cycle hum is pretty audible. I have reverse wired Silver in my Mustang, and it makes a huge difference as to noise cancellation. Lace Dually are not humbuckers, they're a good way to get two single coils in a humbucker route. Lace makes real humbuckers, too, though, and most of them are low noise in split mode.
  10. They're wired like two Lace Sensors. They even have separate grounding wires.
  11. Ya it is the humbucker kind! I am hoping I like them better in this setup then I did the singles. I didn't hate the singles I just feel Dimarzio has the noiseless thing down way better for my taste. I am sure I will find a use for it in one of my guitars. I have a bad habit of bidding on pickups I don't really need if the price is right. I have way more pickups laying around then I will ever need in this life time. There's nothing humbucker about them, though. They're single coils, two of them side by side. They're not even reverse wired or anything.
  12. It's two Lace Sensors mashed together. If you like Sensors, you now have two of them, so it's twice as cool. If you hate Sensors, you now have two pickups you hate.
  13. Well, I come here to be entertained and to engage in conversation. I've posted a lot of music that is dear to me, and a lot of music that I've created myself. And really, the level of discussion those things generate is minimal, and really it's just a bunch of positive posts until one person decides to be a dick, and then it's a few posts squashing that out, and then it's back to the usual programming. It's fun, and sure, I appreciate the feedback, but I can get that in person where it's a lot more immediate and productive. Meanwhile, for all the dicks who seem to think it's so important to respond negatively to everything I post because of who I am and not what I say, it's more fun getting in arguments about gear because honestly nobody's feelings truly get hurt over that {censored}, so you can pretty much get into it as vicious as you like and nobody's really hurt by it, it's pretty harmless IMO. If it was possible to have balanced, critical discussions about actual forumers' playing and tone and writing in a way that didn't get real feelings hurt, we would.
  14. I think some of that has to do with the fact that before the Internet, it was easier to secure amps made locally and Jim Marshall was the guy who was closely in contact with a lot of guys in England who wanted to make a certain kind of music and Fender wasn't.
  15. Add a series/parallel switch to both pickups. That will give you all the jangle you need with no need.
