  • Here is a video of me playing my Gibson Les Paul '58 Historic with its new OX4 pickups! I am playing through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi head CRANKED!! It was so loud we had to keep the door closed!!
    These pickups are amazing check out www.ox4pickups.co.uk they are the best PAF clones I have heard.
    Thanks for watching!
    Enjoy :-)

    This vid convinced me - put a set of OX4s in my '58 Historic Reissue. I'm exceptionally pleased with the result - very much like this video. I've been through all of the usual suspect PAF-style humbuckers.
    The search has ended.
    I've found what I was seeking.

    What a player! I decided that after watching this for less than two minutes!

      @@TheBenScarr I was just flicking through the website. Classy AF. A lot of good press out there, but they still seem relatively unknown compared to the likes of Bare Knuckle? I will see how I get on with the new hardware and Jumbos before I make any other upgrade decisions.
      Saying that, I'd happily do a review, Ha!
      I want to do the whole Peter Green/Page thing in the middle. Don't want it to bright in the neck, my Les Paul is my meat buffet! 😂😂
      TBF, if you check out the demo in my latest video, she sounds killer.

    Damn! Thanks for bringing back my GAS for a plexi marshall, just when I thought I had got over it. I also have OX4 in a couple guitars, great pickups!!

  • @blues4jesus

    Well I've had my Ox4s for about a month now. These are incredible pickups. I have had many many humbuckers in my time. These are probably in the top 2 of any I have owned.

      BTW do u remember how the plexi was set?

    • @TheBenScarr
      @TheBenScarr  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +morbidalex666 haha glad you like it man! The plexi's channels were jumpered with volume on each at about 8, everything else on 10 except the bass which was on zero and presence on 3! These older marshall sound best with everything maxed!

      Yes, these plexis are really something!
      They are also quite flexible despite what people say.
      I've built a clone of the 1959 circuit (100w non master) and put a PPIMV in the back so I can play without going deaf.
      Anyway take care and RAWK ON!

    Hi Ben! You are one seriously talented guitar player. I can’t count the number of times I’ve watched this vid, you have phenomenal skills. Thank you. Just curious how your custom A2/A4 set compares to this A4 set? Thanks,
    Jer.

    • @TheBenScarr
      @TheBenScarr  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jeremy Hendricks thank you for the kind words Jer 😊 Both sets of pickups are fantastic but to my ears the alnico 2 in the bridge just takes the edge of the high end and has a slightly different mid range punch. The A2/A4 set is in my R9 and that’s the best LP I’ve ever played! I’ll have to get a video of that up here...

    • @jeffmakor7135
      @jeffmakor7135 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree with regards the A2 vs A4 for the bridge. Although fine and not harsh, the mids and top end have a more tapered and smoother feel and tames the bridge a tad with the A2. A4 or 5 for the neck is a fine way to bring more top end to the potentially wooly sounding neck puppy.

    Hey there, great tones. I have a '07 R7 goldtop with a one piece Honduras mahogany and a Brazilian rosewood fretboard and i am looking for a more rocking tone and not so much a blues tone. Would you suggest the OX4 4 magnet or 5 magnet? And what would you suggest for the bridge? I play hard rock 70's-80's. Thanks

      MW47742 awesome. I recently discovered the CreamTone wiring harness. They use vintage bumble bee capacitors because apparently they really improve the sound and don’t react the way modern ones do. It’s a steeper price but for me it was worth it, and I noticed the difference immediately. They’re nice and bright and the roll off is phenomenal!
