Members scratchie Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 For me, it's all about the bridge pickup. Throw whatever you want in the neck and middle positions, but a Tele with a bucker in the bridge...well, what's the point? Though I have been wondering what an angled P90 in the bridge position would sound like. I've seen Teles with p90s, but they're always straight in the bridge, instead of the traditional slant. I've seen that done... it looks kinda {censored}ed up... a bit like Mosrite looks wierd with a slanted PU up at the neck. Tone wise... not much difference if any... Not that there's anything wrong with a P90 at the bridge in a tele...I just don't think the slant makes much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y0UNGBL00D Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yeah as long as the bridge stays the same its fine. Btw. Sx tele + usa fender pickups = can't tell the difference (besides the headstock). For under $200. I a/bd them. (Vs a MIM btw) I want a real rosewood one though. Titties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know why everyone seems to be finding SX guitars so great when damn near every one I have ever tried had so much neck shrinkage that the frets were like saw teeth. Too bad too... they make some pretty strat clones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw whatever you want in the neck and middle positions, but a Tele with a bucker in the bridge...well, what's the point? Throw the right sc-sized humbucker in there wired for splitting and you have like 90% of the same basic tele tone plus the ability to go noiseless and fatten up the sound. I seriously doubt many people could actually tell the difference; I definitely can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seano Porno Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 I use Tele's into a Tubescreamer (or OCD sometimes) and a Recto (Roadking) and I can get some mean ass chugging... beastly tone. If you check out www.reverbnation/com/lastunderthesun, Gone, OK Bye, More Helicopters, Beautane and Hooligan Jihad are newest songs, which feature me mixed to the right. That was done with my Baja Tele into the TS9 and Roadking. I have thought about doing the whole Hotrails thing, as I've heard quite a few Teles with them which sound monsterous...but I'm just loving the single coil clarity. My eyes were opened to lower output pickups into Hi-Gain amps when I spent an afternoon in the studio with Doug from Blackmachine. He distributes Diezel amps over here, and his buisness partner let me have a blast on his Blackmachine Tele with single coils through a Herbert.....Holy {censored}!

Members pamackie Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 My modded MIM Tele is sick as {censored} playability-wise. Probably some room for better pickups but I'm in no hurry. The guy I bought it off had a Dual Rec that I tried it through and results were surprisingly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeloAngelo Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 I've always wanted a Tele and I've been seriously thinking about pulling the trigger on one lately. I'm just wondering how they mesh with a 6505+. Will this cause a paradox and rip a hole in the space-time continuum? didn't poison the well run tele's into rectifiers? it's not an anomaly.

Members Weathered Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 didn't poison the well run tele's into rectifiers? it's not an anomaly. I know that one of the guitarists used a Tele into either a DSL or Recto (can't remember which). Always sounded rad as hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members isvoid Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 yep had it wired so the tone p/p adds the neck pup to whatever is dialed in via the 5 way so I can get all 7 pickup combinations, including the classic tele bridge + neck toanz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just needs to lose that dumb extra pickup I've never been a big fan of the middle pickup, but a Nashville style Tele lets you mimic that front/middle strat tone.... like in this video: [video=youtube;riKwMiJ8Ozk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riKwMiJ8Ozk Ok...my dog lost his dinner while that was playing...not sure it was a coincidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OverDriven Posted June 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 I talked to Arend. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go ahead with this. Doing a bit more research on other options. You know...I've always wanted a raw rock rig and the thought of getting a Tele is making me also really want grab a Ceriatone Hiwatt 504 clone.

Members soundgardener75 Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 No I haven't, not with the single coils anyway (my J5 has a humbucker), but if ever I did, I'd tune it to C# and rock the {censored} out of that rig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
