Get back to the pickups subject, or wathever, but if you need to be here, respect this forum and its members.
Regarding me, there's no way to my eyes that you may shine anymore by any way with what you've show of you.

I was on point until the thread took a turn and you started questioning everything that was said. " If you need to be here, respect this forum and its members. " You need to take some of your own advice and stop being such a smart ass, and be humble enough to realize that others may have more (knowledgeable/insight) than you when it comes to guitar related subjects. Also, people shouldn't have to qualify everything they say to you, that kind of mentality makes me want to slap somebody up the back of the head. I didn't take an attitude with you until you started pushing buttons, so get off your high horse and stick to the subject and get on with it.

sure ... but you were talking about Vichy and De Gaulle. you visibly don't know shit about the history, and you had an unforgivable move with your very bad insults and attitude of teenage toward me, linking me to such awful part of the history, reversed and rebuild by mr lefty lu. i think that you don't realize how far you went, maybe because nobody taught you. please, not my problem anymore .. i'm not here for that. The subject was .... Hendrix pickups, not "lefty lu's paranoid.. And needs to do a dumb show"

why don't you join the party man !

i don't understand this shit , ok you don't like the guy , so be it , then label him as an asshole if you like , why the imperious need to slander his nationality before everything else ??

seriously this whole " french are pompous commies cowards 3 gears backwards shifting unable to play guitar frog eating wine producers and heavy stinky drinkers" cliché popping up in here lately like red knobs on the face of a geeky teenager has lived ... if only you knew the number of those "cliché buttons " we could push aggressively too , you would be pretty astounded , and so far ours would be historically right ... but this is getting boring and unproductive ... i mean , travel man ... :palm:

... And the guy is like 40 - 50 years old from what i understand. Amazing ...
He should know that he's playing electronic guitars ( the right name actualy ) , thanks to a friend of my family, a french, who invented the electric guitar pickup. Still alive. made amps and pickups for his friends django reinhardt, les paul ...

Yes he should travel a bit.

Hopeless.

If there are base plates on your pickups take them off !!! Especially if you want your Strat to sound anything like Jimi !!! :jimi: Especially if you are using a fuzz face and a Marshall Super Lead, Ice Pick in the ear and Feedback City !!! Jimi didn't have no Fuckin baseplates !!!!

How about Bareknuckle's Mother's Milk ?

I played them on a Road Worn Strat through a Randy Rhoads signature Superlead but I thought I sounded quite good and although I never playe an actual 60's CBS strat I thought it was quite close to the sounds I heard on records.

Some pickup makers put a metal base plate on the bottom of their pickups to increase their output, they work ok on a clean fender amp but with a fuzz face and a cranked Marshall Super Lead they create uncontrollable howling feedback :hairband:
