It looks like the sort of list you'd expect to see in a mag like Rolling Stone, given the sort of bands their target audience are into...you would probably get a very different list in a Jazz mag (!) for instance.

Try Googling 'CTS pots versus Alpha pots' e.g: http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/gibson-les-pauls/3968-cts-pots-vs-alpha-pots.html

If you're thinking of building a pedal board but you don't want to use Velcro etc, you can use the links from a bike chain to make a fastener for the screws on the bottom of your pedals (assuming it has them)

Noel does a good one at the beginning of Supersonic (Oasis' first single) [YOUTUBE]p29MG7wn4F8[/YOUTUBE]

Charlie Burchill from Simple minds used it quite lot, e.g. [YOUTUBE]y7tA5f5RU2A[/YOUTUBE]

The longest one I've ever heard on a record (about 2.40) [YOUTUBE]QmW-bgqoXJQ[/YOUTUBE]

Thanks for the info everyone!

I'm thinking about getting a Strat but I might end up messing around with different pickups so I was wondering if there any SC ones with adjustable pole pieces (I don't like it when the wound strings boom out too much)
