Bark at the moon
« on: December 30, 2009, 06:07:58 PM »
Hi, just received a Charvel So-cal and I'm looking for a pair of humbuckers for it.
Have my custom shop strat with a Crawler and 2x mothers milk for my main live duties but I'm looking for the charvel to serve up a healthy dose of Jake E Lee's Bark at the moon tone........what would you recommend?
I'm not a big Jake fan or Ozzy fan for that matter, just love the full, middy, defined sound on that track.
Cheers
Jim

I'd probably go with a Cold Sweat for that tone in that guitar.

based on my recent experience with an OD-1 pedal, I'd say this was the biggest ingredient in his tone

I'm not sure I believe in the idea of reproducing a certain tone just by getting the "right" pickups, there are too many other factors involved - not least the player!  

However, there's a guy on the forum called Woogie who has a couple of guitars which are basically copies of Jake's Strats.  I think one has a custom pickup and the other has a Holydiver and Slowhands.

Jake used a Duncan Holdsworth pickup and later used a JB

A HolyDiver would work well as would a Cold Sweat in my opinion

However a Rebel Yell or Crawler would work nicely too

I once had Tim make me a 16K double screw coil  Alnico5 special once to be like the Holdsworth and it was pretty nice - the double screw coil added more bottom end "oomph"
