@@Markleford I've only tried FB pickups in Telecaster neck slots before, but I'm really enjoying this set of minis! I'd love a non-reverse Firebird with FB pickups one day 🤤 Thanks so much mate!
Thanks mate 😊 Yeah I'm a post-hardcore player through and through: I just love the blend of jangle and aggression that you don't really get anywhere else!
@@timletotewes7017 Thank you mate! It would've been really interesting to try formvar wire in the neck position. The reason I didn't is partly because I often find neck pickups to be too dark and muddy. I didn't want to risk the wider coil surface area adding any muddiness in the low end -and there's a directness to traditional neck mini humbuckers that I thought was quite desirable 😊 It would be very interesting to try in the future though!
@@MarkB.Guitar Thanks! Yeah neck pickups are always difficult, too bassy etc. I found ceramic magnets to help, combined with a bass cut (Bill Lawrence has a nice & simple version of a bass cut wiring).
@@timletotewes7017 The ceramic spacer I added definitely did a lot to tighten up the low end and add a lot of clarity and brightness 😊 Bill Lawrence was such a cool guy!
Thanks Robert! The cleaner clips with a delay pedal are the Victory V4 Copper (AC30 Style); the overdriven clips with reverb are using the Bluguitar AMP1 Mercury on the Vintage and Classic channels (Marshall Plexi and JCM800 style). They're both fantastic amps! 😊
Ngl the last time you played those i searched but havent found them, thought about having the creamery build me a humbucker out of 2 of their jaguar pickups so i can have a singlecoil ans humbucker Sounds, btw i play surf bm
@@Metalbaum Ah yeah these were just a one off custom order so nothing would come up! Dave will be taking orders again in the next month or two if you're interested in hitting him up 🤷🏼♂️ That would be a really interesting idea, I'd love to see/hear something like that! Jaime makes amazing pickups too. Do you have a link to your band or anything? I'll check it out!
Love that Mustang in the background!
@@noahbrock5350 Thanks mate! My next video is gonna all about it - I'm in the middle of writing the script now ☺️ It's a really cool guitar!
Heck, I'm a fan of Minis and Firebird pickups in practically any guitar! It suits an offset (and your playing!) really well.

Awesome tone, absolutely love the post hardcore vibes of ur riffs!
Thanks mate 😊 Yeah I'm a post-hardcore player through and through: I just love the blend of jangle and aggression that you don't really get anywhere else!
They sound incredibly cool! I was just wondering why you didn't go with formvar wire on the neck pickup?

Wow that tone ❤ what amp were you using?

Love how those sound. Would his minis fit in a standard Jaguar single coil routing? I’m assuming not.
