Riff Raff doing ZZ Top
« on: April 18, 2008, 11:47:58 AM »
Well I finally got my amp repaired so got to try the riff raff bridge that I got from Crazy_Joe, and I'm loving it! Here's a clip of it in my sg through an mi audio crunchbox into my marshall dsl100. The strings are really old because I'm poor at the moment after having to pay for my amp to be retubed so can't afford any new ones, but I'm still loving the sound of it.

Yep, sounds like a Riff Raff'd SG through a Crunch Box!

Nice work.

Sounds great  :)  :)  :)

Very classic, reminds me a bit of Angus Young.

Top quality!  How far do you set your RR from the strings?

I have mine really close - 2mm when fretted at the last fret - on my SG.

Mine is about 3mm when fretted at the last fret. It's a great pickup, it took a little while to get use to the lower output compared to the nailbomb and holydiver, but it's perfect for classic rock, which is what I play most so Im really happy with it.

Very cool! Very Australian tone, if you don't mind me saying so.

Good quality clip.

Sounds fantastic, gotta love that crunch and richness in the tone.

At times I even thought it was doubled in the recording as it was so fat and wide sounding.

Well done man, please post more!!

Damn it does sound really great (or did I say that already before?  :D)

It's fat, biting and cutting -> classic!
