Prototyping the ToneNerd “The Whiskey”

[Fiesta Red]

I think I'm actually going to offer this wind in all 3 wind counts as I think between the 3, you can tailor the clarity the lower wind will work in all 3 the hottest could get unruly in some setups. Since I'm already calling it the Whiskey,, I can offer the other it at stock at 6800, a "double" @ 7000 and a "triple" a 7300.

That's awesome

 

[Exo-metal]

This makes sense. The 6800 to my ears still has that mid-forward bump that JBs do.
Can you do clips playing the same riff like the Tesla one?

Play anything except testla

 

[Racerxrated]

Play anything except testla

Well, now I have to send you a clip of Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Love Song etc. To your phone. Hehehehe

 

[Exo-metal]

Triggered

It would be hilarious if he did Tesla acoustic with the Scottosan "Little Suzi" pickup.....

 

[Exo-metal]

No, just no...

 

[Wayniac3]

Sounds great!

@LPMojoGL 's new SLO is ridiculous. The overdrive chann is pure sex! It's the BAD version with Classictone transformers

When you go to ship my Whiskeys, if it's any easier for you, just tape them to the chassis of that SLO and send them over. That way the pickups will arrive safely and securely packed.

That would be a big negative.
Besides, Scott ships em in a pretty box. Way better than the SLO.

Those with the most home runs, have the most strikeouts.
Keep swinging, my fellow RTer.

(Feels like a "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy" moment)

Ship it in an SLO box, but weighted to match an amp, the ultimate cruelty…lol

Are you doing bridge and neck sets?

I can make a matching neck. I'm against the marketing gimmick of "calibrated" sets. I would wind a neck different for a set of it was going I to a Les Paul than if it were going in an Charvel, so I typically wind for the guitar it's going in.

I was thinking about what neck pickup to match with this Roxy. I'd almost just want the same sound, just less hot, maybe a little less bass. Nothing real drastic

Which wind is closest to the RTM in terms of bigness and tightness? I think this JB2 has to go in my strat. Not cutting it ever since the RTM came into my life and your Wicked 8. Oh, and those classic tone transformers were fantastic. My 800 build has one in there and it cuts and grinds. Awesome.

Scott what would you recommend for a LP that is a Little too tight/Anemic in the low end?

My pickup with the most low-end is the Psykes. Not the most versatile, but lows and low mids are it's specialty. It's pretty high output, so I tell people the back of the amp gain just a bit and let the Psykes do the work. Has a really fun bouncy feel under the fingers.


Next would be the Whiskey, but that's a more balanced pickup.


Most of my other pickups are going to have a higher resonant peak and provide tightness and articulation, which is counterintuitive to low end.
