So here we go... Just a very quick "first impressions" review, as I only had a few minutes to try it out, but well... First and most important point: it works quite well in this particular SG - "big powerful crunchy sound", very clear and detailed even under high gain, rich highs but with present lows and roaring mids, and definitly NOT thin at all :twisted:. Works wonder for power chords and open chords riffs, had to roll down the tone knob a bit for leads but haven't tweaked anything (height adjustement, amp settings etc) yet. I'll tell you more after our next rehearsal...
Ok that sounds like what I'm looking for. How is the versatility? Btw thanks for the update!
After a rehearsal, a quick height adjustement and a first gig, I can confirm the first impressions. While it's not quite as warm for lead work as the old JB(J) it replaces, the added bite, clarity and definition really helped for the gig yesterday, as I didn't have to overpower my singer's guitar to cut thru the mix.
wrt/ versatility, it's perhaps a bit too soon to give an in-depth answer, but it indeed seems to react as advertised to the volume pot, going from full-roar to more classic, old school rock tones, without loosing bite nor definition (Gibson 50s style wiring with PIO caps and 500K pots here).
Once again, both SGs and NBs are known to be bit picky wrt/ what (resp) pups / guitars they work fine with so I can't tell how it would sound in your own axe, but it seems I'm a lucky bar-steward, 'cause so far it really sounds good in mine :mrgreen:
