Members photon9 Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 IMO the tone would be much improved with a different set of PUPS. Wasn't really feeling it. Could've been the amp though I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PanaDP Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Not really feeling that. It's like a nice tone with the amp under a bunch of blankets. It's not bad in your room but it would never cut through in a band. You'd just get lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steve_man Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Nice demo bro...you could get great tone out of just about anything! Sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NoRomoFan Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 have a higher end Epi LP that came with some good stock pickups. I mod guitars all the time and they're not bad for stock. I think pups are Alnico Classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not bad in your room but it would never cut through in a band. You'd just get lost. You may not have listened to the whole clip. And I don't blame you cause it's really long....... But around 3:30 or so when I kick in the high gain, it's a massive crunch that will cut through a mix like a freight train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Les Paul Lover Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 You made that case very nicely. Tasty playing + tasty tone all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 59humbucker Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Pretty good, I think the boosted sound was better than the early sound (and I ususally really like that just breaking up thing). I think you'd find it would be even better with 57 classics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members the new guy Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Sounded good to me Dc, great playing as usual........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rob Dobbs Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Im a broken record here but I love the factory pups in my Dot Studio. They are very dark and moody without a super bright high end. Perfect for surf guitar and noise. Did I mention that I never replaced the bottom string, lol. Its perfect with 5 strings!

Members ExiledCrow Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Long live dcooper, defender of stock! Though is all fairness I do end up modding mine ... I really like the stock neck pup on my Epi LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frets99 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 That was just excellent. Great playing and great tone. No reason to change those up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Apple Slim Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 In my experience, the uncovered pups on the Dot Studios sound a lot less muddy than the covered ones on the standard Dots. FOr that reason alone, I like the Studio Dots best. Even tho not really a fan of black hardware. I do like the no inlay fretboard. The Dot Studio finishes are not the greatest, but I can live with em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Pickups sounds good,playing is great. I do hear a muffled sound though. What are you using for a mic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carguy Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 The usual good job. But, you're feeding my addiction to guitars by waving an Epi Dot under my nose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 Great vid. You rock as always. I wish we could jam together sometime. I know we'd both have a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 I haven't listened to your video yet (at work) but my own personal experience tells me otherwise. When I was shopping for 335s about a year ago I spent about an hour A/Bing a sheraton II and a 335. Both had good setups and were nicely made. But they sounded very different. I won't bother to get into te subjective good or bad thing, but the Gibson was much fuller and also had more bite - just alot more frequency range coming out of the 57 classics. The epis are fine and in a vacuum nobody would be complaining. But in stock form next to some better 335 types...you might realize some new pickups are in order. FWIW I ended up getting a heritage instead of either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alfsboy Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 The second I put some Tonerider Rocksongs in my Dot it was obvious just how poor the stock ones ,Gibson designed Alnico Classics, are .I even noticed how good they sounded stringing the guitar (it was plugged in ),I am sure it would be even more noticable ,or maybe not,with more expensive pickups .night and day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cbh5150 Posted March 5, 2010 Members Share Posted March 5, 2010 I just got a Epi LP Mahogany Standard (the "worn" one) that has the Alnico Classic covered pups, and I think they sound stellar for stock pickups. The ones in the Dot Studios are the same but uncovered IIRC, and I think, like dcoop that they sound great as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
