Members blingdogg Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 Sounds interesting. I don't know if they'd fit my music style, but I'm curious about them. I like how GFS keeps making different kinds of pups instead of just the plain ol' traditional single coils and PAFs that everyone else makes. Yo may think I'm just a Bohemian Rhapsodizing about these, but you'll need to tie your Mother down to keep her from being blown away by the authentic tone of the Brighton Rocks! That made me lol. I love Jay's ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ancient Mariner Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'd like to hear a clip too. Didn't really get on with the Neovins in the end, but if these were punchy and smooth instead of a bit nasal then they'd be very interesting.

Members Kellanium Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Time to buy a new pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Preacher Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Wow, these things look sweet. I would love clips - but I like how Jay describes what these aren't. If you're looking for a VERY different sound on your Srat or three-single coil guitar- maybe this is for YOU! ... Over the years there have been many, many "tributes" to that guitar and it's pickups- that's not what I'm doing here. If you're a true Red Special nut these are not for you. .... These are NOT typical Strat pickups- we've dialed out the peaky midrange that makes Strat pickups so responsive and dialed in velvety smoothness, extended bottom end and a chimy but restrained high end. If you play like Buddy Guy, strangling every note out of your Strat... probably not your best choice. BUT- If you have the touch and the feel and a good amp you could be ready for a "Sheer Heart Attack". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Interesting... I like big bottom end and I like chime. I doubt I'll get all three, but if I can't fit a HiLoTron in the bridge of my current 'mutt' project, maybe I'll buy one of these for the bridge... just for something different.

Members Fusion1 Posted December 24, 2009 Members Share Posted December 24, 2009 Would have been funny if he called these Fat Bottomed Girls. I was just looking a few days ago to find out why they didn't make the tele neck Fatboy in a strat sized pickup for strats and stumbled on these. It looks like it has metal surrounds with the tops cut off. Hopefull they will make just a regular strat version of the Fatboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted December 24, 2009 Members Share Posted December 24, 2009 too bad they don't fit a Tele. Or will they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted December 25, 2009 Members Share Posted December 25, 2009 jay if you had those in a pre-wired PG i'd so buy em for my strat I'm sure he'd do that.... maybe on a week or two delay. He offers most of his pickups all wired up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brings me to a little piece of fiction I put on my blog a few months back. Had my kids giggling:Somewhere in England, oh, 1977... The door banged open and slammed the wall, rattling its hinges and recoiling from the hole in the wall where the knob had been impaled so many times before. "I've got it, lads, I have f-ing got it!" came the bombastic shout. "What's that, Freddie?" Brian inquired, distractedly, unable or unwilling to separate his intense focus from the knobs, dials, meters and guages on the board in front of him. "Ho-there, Fred, what-ye got?" chimed in John and Roger. "Three words lads, three stupendous, outrageous, gorgeous words. These are the news of the world, my friends, so prepare yourselves." John and Roger looked briefly at each other; exchanged a "here we go again," as Brian, not as distracted as he appeared, mumbled an "oh, {censored}" under his breath. "We're sitting down, let us in on it then." "Now get this," Freddie said, addressing each one in turn. "Fat," he lobbed to Roger. "Bottomed," he threw at John. And pausing, forcing Brian to look up, he flailed, with triumphant finality, "Girls." "Oh {censored}," iterated Brian. "That's right, blokes, it's f-ing fat, f-ing bottomed, f-ing girls. If that isn't rock and f-ing roll immortality, what is? I mean, fat bottomed girls, they make the rocking world go 'round! Am I right or am I right? You can you feel it, can't you?" "Freddie," said Roger, "The name of the album is Jazz. Where's the bleedin' jazz in fat bottomed girls?""Freddie," said John, "you don't even like girls.""Freddie," said Brian. "Freddie," sighed Brian, "Freddie." "Pah-look at me. Though I'm just a skinny lad, when it comes to rock and roll, I know good from bad. Give 'em the naughty ladies every time. This is going to kill'em! I can see it now, hundreds of fat bottomed girls on bicycles on stage. This is better than Tie your Mother Down!" "Roger, give me a baudy heavy bass drum, John, a thumping low E. Give it all you've got. Brian, join in when you're done fiddling with your little knobs. We've got a glamour-rock world to dominate and this is the ticket of the year" My friends, can you see this important moment in rock and roll history playing out in any other way? Yes, I know Brian may wrote this one. But this is much more fun, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian May Posted December 25, 2009 Members Share Posted December 25, 2009 Unless they are going to be wired in series they will come nowhere close to the BM sound. In fact the wiring diagram apparently isnt for series wiring...so till they change that its an epic fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special strat pickguards for the switches and the BM correct wiring diagram are coming out in January supposedly. Maybe everyone is holding off til then. I just think to get truly close to the sound you would need to install them in a 24" scale guitar, or atleast a 24.75", like a Melody Maker or something (that's my scheme).
