Which single coils for Aldrich tone?
« on: June 14, 2013, 12:46:56 PM »
Hi,

Which single coils in and out of the BKP range would you suggest to get near to the sound of Doug Aldrich's Fender 69 relic?

I know he used Fender noiseless but would love to know what else would do the job, I thought maybe the 'Trilogy Suite' but a friend said the Seymour Duncan 'SSL-6' would get me closer. Im using a Ducan JB in the bridge (will I need a trembucker?) I know he used the Holdsworth in his bridge.

The guitar will be ash and have a maple neck/fretboard.

Thanks

Tone at 2:40 I play with a little more gain than this so maybe a little hotter.

In the BKP line you will get these tones with the Holydiver in the bridge and a Trilogy Suite in the neck.

For the single coils I would for sure say Trilogies.

Great clip by the way!

If it's HSS then certainly you need a Holydiver paired with Trilogy Suites  :D

Thanks for the help, how well do the trilogy suite clean up?

So if I used the neck or neck/middle with less gain and just a crunch plexi sound would it work for trower style stuff like day of the eagle kinda thing?

BKP's usually clean up great, even my Crawler is great with the volume backed.
