Hi all, just found out about this forum and registered. Some time ago I ordered a set of Apache Strat pickups for my Strat/Jazzmaster bastard and have been incredibly pleased with them. I just recorded some songs with this guitar and thought I'd post them here. Let me know what you think.

Awesome tone and playing, really like your style. I gotta get me at least one apache for my partscaster :D
-
Really like the tone-sounds huge but warm.
What's your recording/gear set up?
-
Man! That is some beautiful sound! Love your playing/writing style. Very Therapeutic Sound. Not that i'm sick, except for G.A.S. :lol: That's some of the prettiest clean sounds on the forum. Love the odd time sigs too. If i didn't have Apaches on the way already, this clip would have sealed the deal. Keep it up. Send more clips! , Lifted

Really great tones and playing, you might want to move it to the players room as more people will listen to it there. Good stuff.
-
Awesome! :P
-
Excellent- what a debut! Apaches are just wonderful. I agree with Steve, if this was in the players forum you will probably get more listeners. Welcome to the forum.
No sooner said than done (players room)

Excellent - really great clean sound and playing.
I've got a set and think they are fantastic. Very versatile too - also sound good on higher gain settings.

Gorgeous mate...
What's your recording/gear set up?
:D

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. I've tried just about every Fender Custom Shop single coil set but these Apaches are in a league of their own.
The gear I used for the recordings is my Jazzmaster/Strat bastard (with Apaches) through an Atlantis echo and Lexicon MPX110 (reverb) into a Fender Dual Showman 2x15 (for guitar + reverb) and a Fender Quad Reverb (for echo only).
Below is a pic of me with my Jazzmaster/Strat. I've had it built by a luthier here in Brussels.

SHWEET! Woody-inducing tone, sir. Nicely done!

Wow, great tone. Your playing style reminds me a little bit of the newest Thrice cd, and that's a really good thing.
-
Is it just me or is that a Burns style headstock you have on that thing?
EDIT: The whole neck looks like it coulda been cannibalised from a Burns Marquee?
-
You're right, I asked them to do a Burns style headstock, but slanted. The rest of the neck shape is actually copied off a Jazzmaster neck I really liked. All pickups are slanted at the same angle as a Strat bridge pickup, thought it would look nice with the "offset" Jazzmaster body. It has 3 on/off Jaguar style slide switches (doesn't get much easier than that) and no tone/volume controls (as you might have noticed).

:D Those are beyond doubt some of the very best Demos we`ve had on the forum. 8)
We can tell you`ve been listening to Cold Play !! :P
Fantastic Tone on those Apaches. If i had to get a set of singles then i`d have to go for Apaches. Now i no why 38th loves his !!!
:D 8)
-
Hm... I'm affraid I'm not familiar with Cold Play. But don't worry, people have told us we sound "like early The Cure" before and I couldn't name you a Cure song if my life was at stake. :)
My biggest influence is probably Hank Marvin, he's the reason I started playing guitar. I try to listen to as many genres as possible from folk-rock to new age, and one of my biggest regrets of life is that I'll probably never be able to listen to all the music that's out there that I'd like, either because it was never recorded/got lost, I'll never find it, or doesn't exist (yet). Uhh, getting a little philosophical here...
-
:D Hey don`t worry about it !! Just keep doing what your doing it sounds good to me & the others !!
:D 8)
-
Amazing sounds! After a hot day at work that was really nice to listen to!
Thanks 8)
-
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess I'll go for Apaches ... hmmmmmm
Nice playing and composition, no not just nice, great, awesome, inspiring!
Dude, you're from Brussels? What's the name of your band, wanna see you play!
-
Beautiful sounds!
Thank you!
