Fulltone Fat Boost

[Ian Price]

Cheers Andy - trying to move a few things on at the moment and may well take the plunge. I'll be aiming to keep all of the switching options the Baja has - as a technical dunce what do I need to ask for when ordering? I'm assuming the both pickups in series option means I need to ask for something different on the wiring?

Yep  :)

You need a separate ground wire from the neck pickup cover.  Tim and the boys will know what you need if you say you need this as you'll be using a 4-way switch.

Cheers Dave  :D

Hoping I can get it sorted in time for the meet.

Yep, exactly what the TF-man sez :D

I kept all the same hardware, including the S1 (don't use it though). I tell a lie, I snipped off the treble-bleed capacitor I found across the volume - that won't help on the thin/weedy front. Try removing that now if you haven't already. Not sure where it will get you though - I've since tried the Baja pups in another tele without a bleed, and I replaced them with Blackguards too!

Soldering onto the S1 was a little more fiddly than standard, but if I can do it, anyone can! :lol:

Good luck. Hopefully you'll get the same thing as I did with the BGs - I went from "I just can't get into this tele thing" to "Oh wow, what an instrument" in the space of just a couple of hours (and more teles in a couple of months :roll:)

[Ian Price]

Cheers - I think the treble bleed has been mentioned to me before. I must have forgotten though as it is still on there!

I do love tele's - I was always a strat man but am getting more and more into the tele now. I've previously owned a few great teles and am now on my 3rd. I'm determined to hang on to this one as it feels comfortable for me and has quite a nice acoustic sound to it.

I like the EP a lot.

The SHO is I think what was in my Box Of Rock - really liked that one, too. I think the SHO is probably a bit harder and more transparent, whereas the EP has more spaciousness and mojo if you wish.

I don't like the OCD as a booster.

The RC Booster is very nice, too, especially if you wanna add chime and sustain to clean and crunch tones.

I use a Toadworks double boost. You can mix fat and clean-boost (two knobs, third knob is level). It works perfect and sounds great. Unfortunately they are out of production, but you can find used ones. I see Fulltone Fatboosts often on Ebay and that's not really a good sign.
