Mojave Peacemaker and Gibson Les Paul Custom

[crazyfreak1919]

How hot is the BBQ bucker wound? 

[jackbad2]

That Peacemaker really nails the perfect rock sound. Very chunky, thick but not muddy at all. Great character. I have had the Scorpion and Coyote. I liked them but was looking for the sound that you are getting from the Peacemaker. I have heard from other people that the Peacemaker is the only Mojave that gets this sound in your clip. I listened to your clip with the strat and thought the same thing. Is it that the Peacemaker just is the one that has the Mojo going?

@jackbad2 It's too bad I didn't have the Zoom Q3 recorder when I made these Peacemaker videos. That amp was BADASS, but you can't really tell with the poor quality of the videos.

I haven't heard the other Mojave amps, but I know the Peacemaker was awesome!

[jackbad2]

@SgtThump Do you not own the amp anymore? If not, why did you get rid of it?

[SgtThump]

@jackbad2 I haven't owned it in a long time. Why? I've been a gear whore for many years, so I go through stuff quickly. But I'm slowing down now.

The Peacemaker was killer, no doubt. I rely on an effects loop nowadays for delay and a volume boost live with the band and since the Peacemaker doesn't have a loop, I sold/traded it off. But it was a killer amp for sure.

[jackbad2]

@SgtThump Like you, I have owned more stuff than I will admit. It is interesting to note that if "Gear Whores" like us could somehow go through all of the stuff, but somehow in the end do a A - B test of everything, what would we like the best and end up keeping. Unlike you, I do not have all of these clips to look at and listen to and, all things considered, which would you like to have if you were made to make a choice, just based on sound alone, not versatility or effects loops.

One of my favorite amps out there. Sounds great.

[Szartard]

I dig it!

[f2kflyer]

Dude. Badass tone. Love the Ball & Chain and Rock & Roll Rebel riffs. Sweeeet. :)

[smokybrick]

Thats one thick sound you got. Nice playing too :)

[rockerjt]

Highwiiiiiirreeeee baby!!!!!!

[glmetal]

amazing tone and playing!!!this pickup seems to be what i'm looking for...

do you think it can sound well also in strat-style guitars?

[SgtThump]

Thanks!!! I have a BBQ in both my '58 Reissue Les Paul and this '71 Les Paul Custom. It's ALMOST too thick in he '58, but perfect in the LP Custom. I guess I'm trying to say that there is a pretty big difference in the way the BBQ sounds in different guitars. It's probably not the best choice for an already dark guitar. But it will make a bright guitar thicken up bigtime!

[glmetal]

...cool...

i'll try to put it in a strat so...thanks!

[orangeandhoney]

did you end up trying it out on your strat? how does it sound?

[glmetal]

not yet, i'll post a video when my strat will have the BBQ equipped

[yoyodunno]

I think I'm gonna get the BBQ for my SG, cause the burstbucker pro was just way too shrill in the highs, especially with high gain.

[DangerousBastard]

I been thinking of throwing a BBQ bucker into an ash-bodied Strat project I'm doing, dunno how that'll sound but should be fun. Might get one for my Les Paul too.

[jaskate22]

how do you like those Rio Grande pickups i'm thinking of purchasing some.

[SgtThump]

I absolutely love the BBQ bridge pickup in a Les Paul. I had one in a '73 LP Custom and it rocked too (sold that guitar.) I'm seriously thinking about putting one in my '58 Reissue LP Standard. They're thick, but not muddy. They really beef up a Les Paul and I love that!

[BaseB3383]

Awesome tone and vibrato! And some Jack thrown in there too, well done!

[BaseB3383]

Meant Jake... lol

[SgtThump]

Ha ha. I saw that comment about "Jack" and was like WTF is he talking about? lol... Yeah man, Jake is in my top 2 or 3 as far as influences go. Wish I could play like him, though. :)

[DangerousBastard]

Well, fcuk Carl! lol

[SgtThump]

I agree! :)

[DangerousBastard]

SWEET AS!! You can play dude, and you got a killer tone too! I dont know why you got such a low rating!

[SgtThump]

Hey thanks! There's a jack@ss guitar player (that term is used loosely) named Carl that feels the need to rate videos low and post comments about how much better he is than everyone else. I deleted his comment, but his low rating stayed. Oh well, I'm not really losing sleep over a low rating on a YouTube video anyway. :)

[scooterguitar]

Great tones!

[tweeddeluxe69]

Sounds Badass!!!
