Installed my new pickups!
« on: February 01, 2012, 07:44:39 AM »
Really happy guys.  The rebell yell vhii combo sounds awesome in my eclipse.  never owned and bkp but from going from duncans it's like HD technology for pickups while still retaining the warmth and dynamics.  The vhii is probably the very best neck pickup I have ever played it just sings an sustains.  Really organic with great characteristics. Looks like I'll be buying a set for my USA charvel hss.  Probably going for the holy diver bridge Forsure!  It's crazy how shitey my jb sounds now lol so compressed and lumpy.  Peace

Ahhh the usual reaction.^^ Welcome to the familiy mate!


Donīt forget that especially with the RY height tweaks make a world of difference!

Definitely agree with height tweaks for the RY - it is very sensitive and height makes a hell of a difference to the tone.

yeah i ended up raising it around 2mm 3mm in the bridge, still perfecting the neck.  Cant wait to put something in my usa charvel.  Im unsure if i can because my model was the last model they made in the usa and for some reason they direct mounted the pickups.  So i dont know how to adjust the pickups, i was thinking about putting in longer screws and some kind of foam under the pickup. we will see.
