IMO- Pierre- the lack of brightness is from your guitar. Basswood is not a bright wood at all. its a dark bass heavy wood.

+1 Basswood is very warm and dark. (perfect for down tuned heavy chugging,tho)

Basswood doesn't have a lot of bass, nor a lot of highs, but wide and neutral mids which can be nicely shaped with a maple cap, pickups etc. I suppose the tightness comes from the MM controlling the bass and smoothing out the mids. If it doesn't add aggressive highs to the sound, yeah, basswood might sound darker than you'd expect.

My Miracle Man sounds £$%*ing amazing and pisses over mass produced pickups all day long as do all of BKP's. You must have put it in wrong or your guitar might not be made of a decent timber. As for sustain mine goes on for days through my valve half stack.

yes pIERRE
I THINK there bight mesomethign wrong with the wiring, or the pod,or the guitar WOOD.

i had a similarproblem with a jackson JS-1
i swappedseveral different pickups
evolution, jb, steve´s special,pafpro, bill lawrence l 500 xl
Although i could feel the tonal differences while playing, the tone that i got formit was always the same...
lots of bass and middles... , but stuffy Highs...
i found out that the wood the guitar was made, was not been properly aconditionated and etc... it doesn´t interacted well with the pickups
and i tried it under several other amps...
so, the problem was the guitar
so i traded it for a brazilain flying V, and then the brazilian Post office guys $%&#ed UP the 2 points of the V and then they REFUNDED me and i bought my fusion deluxe.
ahahahahahaha

I'm thinking it's the guitar too then. But I doubt it would sound brighter in Mahogany?
I LOVE the MM, don't get me wrong. It's just slightly different than I expected.
And I said that I GAINED articulation in going from the FS to the MM. The MM is very very very clear.
I don't have a 'real' amp unfortunately :( I'm waiting to sell the AOR (which needs a retubing BAD) so I can get a Laney LC15R. Right now it's POD to effects return of amp.

I had a MM set in a mahogany explorer and they sounded great, but I had relly bought them for a maple topped swamp ash Warmoth, with a rosewood neck. I put a Warpig/Mississippi Queen set into the explorer.

Well the LC15R is WAY smaller in size, and I love its sound too. The AOR is HUGE and a retubing + biasing would cost me a shiteloads.
Furthermore none of the guitar techs around here do this thing it seems :(
I'd want to keep it but it's too big for my room.

Davey · « **Reply #24 on:** December 02, 2005, 11:33:48 PM »

you dont need to rebias it if you put the same tubes in.

how much are you looking to sell it for?

Pierre · « **Reply #25 on:** December 02, 2005, 11:37:04 PM »

I was hoping about 170 pounds plus shipping.
And the old tubes suck haha... the tubes that are in now are about 15 years old I think. They've never been replaced. It's a wonder the thing still works.

Davey · « **Reply #26 on:** December 02, 2005, 11:43:21 PM »

how much does that make in € and can you figure out the shipping to slovenia? is it a combo or a head?

Pierre · « **Reply #27 on:** December 02, 2005, 11:44:44 PM »

Combo, 30 watts. Dude, you should add me to msn, we'll talk over there. Do you have anyone who has me there?

Davey · « **Reply #28 on:** December 02, 2005, 11:47:19 PM »

I must admit this has me confused. I have my miracle man in a mahogany body (smaller-than-a-dinky super strat style, so its quite trebly for mahogany, I'll grant you) maple necked guitar and its pretty bright. Not to silly levels but id class it as a capital-B Bright pickup. Still plenty of bass there, not much low mid, more high mid.

No fancy wiring, just a 500K vol. Well, and a 4 pole 5 way so I can run my uber trilogies in series.....but thats another story
