Just kidding. Well, sorta.
Does it have the original pickups? My viper (which is no longer mine) had the original pups/wiring and the tones would go from mellow/jazzy to icepick/strat. If you do turn the tone knob, does it change anything? Maybe someone rewired it? Just stream of consciousness thinking here...

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | Eddiejam, If it is a fatter sound you’re after and don't want to hack up the guitar, find a set of the UKII blade type pickups. They will drop fight in there and are the best of all the electric pups...nothing wimpy about them!

Tnx, man. Actually, I rarely use that account any more. When I still had the company up and running (gawd, the gubbermint think I *still* do, no matter how many forms I file!!) I bought/sold some stuffs, but lately my wife is using it. I have a different account for 'my' stuff. :) But, the turbo lister was setup to use that one, so that's where the listing went to.
But, thanks again!
Now, back to the previously scheduled thread... |
