  • That is a sick pickup combo. Just wondering, but do you have much trouble when you are flicking toggle switches say in a gig setting???

  • sounds a little compressed? I dont know since the sound was captured from the cam mic. Compressed as in... like.. How can I say this... As if your Bridge P'up were in a bottle? I dunno. Is it really a bit compressed, in that manner.

  • How would you rate the Steve Morse bridge pickup for metal? Its specs are a lot like the evolution, but unlike the evo it isn't well known as a metal pickup.

  • You need 500k pots...

  • @BrasilGuitar

    why do you say that? 250k pots are used in most strats, and as tone pots in some guitars. You can also use them to help tame humbuckers with a lot of highs, or if they have a shrill high end. The lower the vaule of the pot the less high end makes it into the signal. A 1 meg pot can be used with a darker pickup in order to let all the higher end make it into the signal and give the pickup a more wide open feel. Either way Steve Morse uses 250k pots in both of his sig models.

  • @jarledge Plus, larry Dimarzio himself prefers 250 k pots. You'll find him saying that in the comment in the video with Larry D and Paul Gilbert interview.

  • @jarledge That may have a brighter tonewood basswood,but still those pickups sound a little dull and muddy.

  • I think you need an Award for the Week, for the first triple humbucker Ibanez that I've seen, why should Ace have all the fun ?

    The pickups make a huge difference in tone. I'm wondering which ones to put in my RG1570 ? The stock V7,V8 are really well balanced on volume levels and have a good range on the volume pot, so I think I'll have to replace the bridge and neck together. Plan B is to buy a Kramer to go crazy on the mods with hot pickups and sustainers and keep the Ibanez stock.

  • Sorry If I sound like a smart ass, but Paul Gilbert actually had a signature model with three humbuckers back in his Mr. Big days. It had three PAF Pros.

  • m'yes u are right sir he used it on his vid intense rock 2! nice 3 humbucker pink ibanez lol

  • That's alot of switches, but cool nevertheless!

  • you should play like like, but it is not his kind of game

  • Good rundown of the pickups, and nice playing too.

    What perceived differences do you have between the Steve Morse and the Steve's Special in your Dime guitar? How are the note clarity and harmonics clean and overdriven? Are they very different?

    Thanks for the video.

  • nice sound!
