Since this is confusing: SH-5/TB-5 is a Duncan Custom (ceramic magnets) - I really like these pickups. My favorite in alder for hard rock and classic metal tones. SH-11/TB-11 Duncan Custom Custom (A2 magnets) SH-14/TB-15 Duncan Custom 5 (A5 magnets)

This does sound good and I notice the old Randall head sitting on those 412's. Maybe his work is inspired by those and or he has figured out something to get around this old story of mine. Seems to me like Randall was closer to killer solid state sounds 40 years ago than anyone else has been...

How does it sound with that trem on it?

Joe Holmes used the J-80. Those are really tough to find. What is not tough to find is the J-80C and you can easily swap out the magnet in there to an Alnico 5 and then you have a J-80. Or you can buy one of Grover Jackson's new Habanero pickups called the Naga Viper which is built to the same...

So awesome! Congrats!

What are the albums with the best Larry tones?

I sure hope not. There's about 100 different Van Halen things we discuss on here and to pile them all in one thread would really suck and be completely disorganized. I mean, you joined RT in 2006... you knew what you were getting in to. LOL

Yeah, last I heard he had a Gibson endorsement and a Kramer signature model so we haven't seen him playing our guitars in a while. This was a surprise.

Warren did not use a Fender Champ on some of the Out of the Cellar solos. He used an early 80's Fender Super Champ. Huge difference. Paul Rivera designed the Super Champ and it was a gainy little beast. This is what a Super Champ sounded like with George Lynch warming up on one backstage back in...

Dang, he played that same guitar the full hour and 15 minute show. \m/

Yes, that is one of ours. He bought 2 or 3 from us a few years ago and has been very kind in mentioning us in his Guitar World article and on social media. Great guy!

I just bought a vintage MM1400 from a guy in Denmark who shipped it here to the USA. I'm going to install it tomorrow and see what I think. If I don't like it, maybe it can return to Europe. :)

I will be looking forward to the "restoration" thread about this guitar. LOL, Sorry, I think the thing was drop dead gorgeous in the 1st picture. But like others have said I am sucker for double cream, so definitely biased.

Yeah, me too. I don't think I would like it as much with a black guard

Sounds great! OG Rig Talk was full of great players.

I've got a kid who just graduated college and one who is a junior in college. My lingo has made it through unscathed. I can't imagine how cringy it would be for them to have me walking around saying stuff "slaps". I don't need the eye roll from them and from people my own age. lol

His band put out an album that is on Spotify and he has been doing a lot of touring.

Thanks for the link! I'm digging it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Slaps"... dang I thought my teenage daughter got a Rig Talk membership. :)

I read them all the time. Thanks!
