Post by: Crazy_Joe on April 16, 2007, 03:02:23 PM
Ok, this is the final pickup change for the Explorer!

How does the Miracle Man work with that upper midrange peak on the Explorer?

I think it balances out the eq well, gives me a nice semi-scooped kind of sound which is great for Metallica style riffing, but turn the mids up and it can get quite 80's.

Asked some questions in the Pictures topic - Can I get some more shots of the Miracle man?

I'm considering a black pickup set atm...

very nice, the black cover works well... now you just need to change the neck pickup to make it match, lol.

Haha, i don't really use neck pickups very much at all. Therefore i can't see myself replacing it any time soon.

Haha, I bet you said that about your Ceramic 'Pig :) Sounds like alnico magnets aren't really your thing (re Nailbomb)...

But I'm glad you've finally settled on something... or have you?

PS - your guitar is real shiny :P

and where is that exact ceramic pig now? IN A BOX NEXT TO ME WAITING TO BE INSTALLED!!!!

hahaha!!!

no, joe, the guitar looks amazing like it is, it emphasizes the bridge pickup (which sounds like it sounds awesome  :twisted: )

so people will know there is something special about it when they look at it

Hmm Dr Robert recommends Sparkle, a supposedly easily available non wax polish...I've never found it though :cry:

I've also heard Naptha is a good cleaner for removing cr@p without damaging a finish, even on cellulose laquers. I saw a video reccomending it once and Meguiars car polish to buff it to a shine.

Personally I use a gibson polish as I got some free once but generally just use a dry cloth
