Van Halen 'Bumble Bee' pickup demo video - Al Estrada

[Stradazone]

Demo video I made for Jalen Guitar, it's a replica of EVH's infamous pickup from his bumble bee guitar that was pictured in VAN HALEN II
Measures 9 K, Alnico 8 magnet, has a overwound PAF aggressive attack to it!

You could make a pickup made out of dog shit sound great. Good job as always.

Clean that fingerboard!

 

[Steinmetzify]

Good tones and nice playing man!

What was in your chain?

Al, I've been in awe of your playing for the last 10 years since I heard of you over at splawn

What a fuckin killer guitarist you are bro!!!!
The pick up sounds good too....

Al has the best EVH tone and chops I have ever heard. Would love to know the signal path also. I can never get reverb to sound well with distortion.

I'm sorry to be a pain in the ass....the "echo Plex" for the tc mini....is it one if the "multiple prints" by TC or an artist? I'm terrible at navigating there site/app.

 

[Chubtone]

Killer clip Al!

I noticed up high your neck is really dirty where no one ever plays and really clean where everyone plays.

 

[codyjarret]

Sounds totally awesome and wicked chops my friend.

 

[psychodave]

I dig how it looks. That makes me want it.

How does it sound for non-VH stuff?

I don't think those words have ever been used in the same sentence on a guitar forum.

 

[Metlupass2]

Could you post pics and specs if your Suhr?

I used my tone print app on my phone to install it long ago, I can't remember who's tone print it was though..

I have the same problem with my HOF and Corona Minis. I have them dialed in just the way I want them, but would like to experiment with other Tone Prints. But I would have no idea how to get back to the ones I've had on there for years now.

I bought a cheap patch cable that allows me to manipulate tones on the PC /software and then save it. Name the "print" what you want, save it, and you can always (in theory) get back to it.
