The Twin is way too much for home or small venues. If a Reeves with power scaling is too expensive, there are several smaller amps than have great clean tones to use as a base. The 22w Fender Deluxe Reverb is good. The Mesa Express 5:25 and 15w Fender Blues Jr are good too. The 40w Fender Blues Deluxe and Peavey classic 30 are great amps too, but on the loud side.
congratulations for you sound and wonderful site. Was that fender twin very loud? I am looking to buy one for gilmour tones. Less expensive than a Reeves...
But for home and small venues use I am afraid it is too much....no power scaling also...
Need some help in here....Deluxe Reverb maybe?? (am afraid it does not have the headroom needed...). Hot Rod Deluxe?
I also upgraded my stratocaster like yours, but i got a question for you. Are your pickup plates aged white?, and does the same goes for ur volume/tone knobs. at the moment mine are standard white, but i thought gilmour has aged white? Thanks in advance
I don't have any bad EFI/RMI sources nearby so I don't hear it as much as other people, but when playing in a band or at home to a backing track it is not noticeable anyway. I just cut the guitar volume in between songs, and try to keep from pointing my guitar in the direction it picks up the most interference.
This pickguard is superior to the 'All Parts' 1 -ply pickguard. The "Magic Switch" pickguard is 3-ply (sloped, beveled edges) like the factory Fender pickguards but without the white outline...it's all black in other words. 'All Parts' is thin and has a straight edge, and it is not shielded like the other one. Everyone is paying approximately $50 for these "Magic Switch" pickguards, and they are worth it! The seller is having success at selling these so I think more will eventually show up.
Hi rennzo, I purchased one on Ebay recently that looks exactly like the one installed on the Fender Custom Shop David Gilmour Black Strat. I just checked Ebay (none currently available - 3/13/09), but keep checking everyday. The seller just sold 4 of these in the past week. Look for this title on Ebay: BLACK Acrylic 1-ply 11hole Strat Pickguard MAGIC SWITCH ,or try this one: David Gilmour style BLACK Strat Pickguard MAGIC SWITCH. These are the exact, word for word titles used by this seller.
315hb, I'm VERY sorry that I couldn't answer you before. I'll look for these pickguards and see if they're really what I want :) Thank you so much for the tips and the attention!
Nice, nice solo, man, and your gear is simply impressive :)
I'd like to know, if you can help me, where you found this 1-ply black pickguard, because I couldn't find anywhere to buy it, just the 3-ply (black/white/black).
That is a 3 ply, I just colored the edge. I could not find a one ply either, but if you check the Gilmour Gear forum, some people have posted where to find one.
Rennzo, if you are after a 1 ply black pickguard, look at the allparts website, i myself was after one, and Bjorn at Gilmourish told me where to get one
guitarman, thank you so much for the tip, man, but I'm afraid they only have the 8-holes one, not the 11-holes that I need for my american series :/ Anyway, I sent them an email to check that, but, again, thank you very much, the site is great! :)
You can find it on Ebay...no problem there. I purchased one that is 1-ply, 11 hole and shielded. It also has the "magic switch" like Gilmour's Black Strat. Try looking there...you can't miss it. In case that particular one is not currently listed, Google search for one. Good luck!
315hb, I looked for it on eBay, but no luck so far :/ It's always the same findings: 1-ply 8hole or 3-ply 11 hole. If you had some link to the one you bought it would be great :) But thank you anyway :D
Because the Green Sovtek Big Muff has a bigger, boomier sound that is more like the Cornish P-2 or BK Butler Tube Driver that Gilmour used. The Pink Flesh is too trebly and does not have enough bottom end to do this tone well in my opinion.

I got a thick, 1 ply black guard with bevelled edge from Warmoth. Not as thick as the Gilmour strat version but thicker than a typical 50s single ply

I learn everything by ear so I don't have any TAB. Sorry. I'm sure someone on the web has tabbed this solo. Just do a google search for it.

Why did you choose to use your Pi for this solo instead of your Pink Flesh?

Because the Green Sovtek Big Muff has a bigger, boomier sound that is more like the Cornish P-2 or BK Butler Tube Driver that Gilmour used. The Pink Flesh is too trebly and does not have enough bottom end to do this tone well in my opinion.
