Title: Can't believe how clear the RiffRaff sounds ...
Post by: hunter on March 31, 2011, 10:25:30 AM: Put the black covered RiffRaff that I initially ordered for my SG (meanwhile has a MiracleMan) into the PRS McRosie. Amazing match! It sounds so clear, unbeievable, but still gives loads of DIRT when you DIG IN. A very dynamic pickup and I just love it in this guitar. Neck pickup is still a Duncan '59, need to think about what the good match would be.

Thanks. Yeah I feel it's got that Tele bite somehow. I wonder how a Tele with a RiffRaff in the bridge would sound ...

Hmm, it feels pretty immediate when I play it, I think it has more attack when you play with a light touch and gets pretty fast when you dig in.

Oh I guess I got you wrong there, I mean with "more" attack the same as "slow" attack. Like on a synthesizer, if you increase the attack, the sound will swell slowly. However I think when you say more attack, you mean fast attack, i.e. less attack time, right? I think the RiffRaff has a pretty short attack time, not unlike a CS in fact, but the RR is more lively and rich in the sustain phase, which can be good but also disturb if you play rather complex chords under high gain.

Bright I guess. Maybe a mahogany tele with a RiffRaff would be the dogs bollocks.

Thank you, always love your clips, too!

Mule would be great, initially I wanted a set of them for this guitar.
