SLIDER'S VINTAGE PICKUPS - 59's - DEMO BY TOMMY KATONA

We were amazed, again, at the quality of workmanship and attention to detail when these, our 2nd set, arrived. Each pickup was tagged with a full description listing the wire type, winding, resistance, etc These pickups were recommended to us by Rod, and not surprisingly, were exactly the tone we wanted for this axe. The aged covers were as authentic looking as any I've seen. We put them in and were immediately blown away by the purity of the tone. That's when we knew that all our Strats would be getting Slider's Vintage Pickups. These pickups have been featured in ToneQuest magazine and that's no small time publication. Do your homework and you'll find nothing but outstanding reviews on Harmony Central, StratoBlog, Guitar World. Every user has said pretty much the same thing...best pickups they've ever used and the customer service is incomparable. It's all true folks. Rod @ Slider's knows tone and how to get it. Contact him @ myspace.com/slidersvintagepickups and he'll be glad to work with you to get the tone that'sin your head. This was 2nd set, now we have three and have more guitars waiting.

Hi, Very very good tone ! I would like to know which is the speaker in your amp ?

[zkat2]

@mikka972 It is a Hellatone speaker sold by Avatar. Fantastic speakers!!!

[Bluesy1990]

Howdy there, just had a quick question about the amp. Is it modified at all? I've got a 1968 Deluxe Reverb, these same pickups, TS-808, and can play some SRV type stuff but still can't get my guitar to sound like this. I understand tone is in the fingers and that Tommy has been playing much longer than I have, but was just wondering if there was some kind of speaker change or anything. Thanks!

@Bluesy1990 No mods to the amp but yes to a speaker change. It's a Hellatone.

Rod primarily sells his p/u's on ebay...search for Slider's Vintage Pickups there or send me a private message and I'll hook you up with his info

Wow, very impressive! Every setting was cool and classic sounding.

Tow questions...

1. Is that an ash body strat?

2. What year and model tube screamer?

[zkat2]

It's an alder body...an SRV strat actually with a different pickguard. It's a TS9...not sure how old.

[Thill1116]

I didnt hear any 60cycle hum from those pickups. What do you think of the the BB preamp boost from xotic effects compared to the tubescreamer? Your SRV is spot on bro, I love it. Cheers!

[mikka972]

@zkat2 Thanx for your answer.
