I love the HOT sound I get from the rails , As I said I have used one of them before. And honestly, I just love the ballsy look of the Brighton's. I was thinking of the Dream 90s with the black mother of pearl. IDK IDK DECISIONS DECISIONS! LOLOLOL
Additionally, Last night I was playing a Am riff with the strat, and it was ok, but then when I played it with the SG and the Lynch pick up, MAN WHAT A DIFF! So yea defiantly need to do something!

Whilest playing my new strat, the affordable price that it was,, the pickups reflect the price point. SO how about some of these in the neck and center http://www.guitarfetish.com/Brighton-Ro … _1521.html and one of these in the bridge (and I have put this in a V and know it ROCKS) http://www.guitarfetish.com/GFS-Power-R … p_341.html
for the price on the pickups you cant beat it,, and I would get this if it was in black,, gotta say the price is very seductive. http://www.guitarfetish.com/Pearl-Wired … p_610.html just dont wanna loose one of my betties, although she can be reordered also, dont think the pearl white on the color of my guitar will work.
Thoughts?

"Hello Im Chevy Chase and you're not" OH wait , wrong train! LOLOL
Ok so many of you are not of FB to see the few Pics I posted, after my report I shall once again try to do it.
First off, Jerome is a great host.
Arrived about 11 pm Friday night after work, next thing I knew it was 5 AM!
His studio room is pretty nice. I played him a few of my songs and the one he really liked was Paper Doll. We spent most of Saturday afternoon working on it. His friend, AL, came over and he was creating some nice dark and smoky lead for it. Then we started two new songs between the 3 of us. very fun to write with new people.
Irish Stew for lunch and baked chicken for dinner Saturday.
Today (Sunday) was Football. Granted I slept till noon but got up in time to see the kick that gave it to the Seahawks.
I gave Al a ride home and got to see and hold his Gretsch. MAN IS THAT A GREAT GUITAR! Now I know why Jx3 loves that White Falcon! I did not have time to plug it in,, but it was just screaming for some Link Wray! I wanted to bust into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ_JvaTWego
The host @ 3ish AM 
Wait! You have a extra string here! And I think the battery is dead. 
Alan "AL"
Playing the "heavy" part of RUMBLE
Good end to a great weekend

I hope you and Jerome have a great time jamming together. It's always fun to meet other musicians and trade ideas. Which "Working Man" did you learn? Was it this one?

Or ... perhaps it was RUSH's song of the same name.
Just wondering ...
Rush. LOL

Re: New to electric (8 replies, posted in Electric)
then there is the compromise of a hybrid amp. my sons Johnson amp has a tube pre-stage and s/s power amp. that sucker is LOUD. and they are not very expensive. you might also want to look into Bugera amps. I have the V5 and i barely even take the attenuator off .1 W. this is it.
This is a perfect home amp as you can dial the thing from .1 to .3 to 5. its all tube and has the vintage sound.
It has gone up in price by 75 bucks since I got mine. but still for 200 its a great deal! they are made by Beringher. which makes some great soloid states also.
as Phill says,, using some stomp boxes or a multi effects box can really make a so so amp sound pretty good. Ebay is your friend on that one. I just got my RP500 for a heck of a deal! min you will want a distortion box,compressor and a delay. you can get pretty good units of these from Rouge, or Berhinger. Berhinger even sells sets that are cool. http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-Stomp-T … B004H1KB3Y or just look at the prices, you can start a pretty nice pedal bd on a budget http://www.musiciansfriend.com/effects-pedals/behringer
