Quote from: Tim
I'm just doing R&D on a new set of 'Cold Sweat' humbuckers- a mid powered  distortion humbucker in the vein of the early Dirty Fingers.What I've done is try to get rid of the mid spikes but retain the power.
I'm gigging them at the moment and I'm really pleased with them.
More soon! PDT_045


I think the original Dirty Fingers were like 12K and then Gibson started making them around 18- 19K.

How much output is the model you are working on going to be around?

I'm very interested  :D

I've got prototypes on the go between DC13.8 amd 14.4K with a nice offset-the 18K DFs I don't like at all and the sound I want to capture is the John Sykes tone-awesome. It's pretty much there too, they really sing but have this great muscular rhythm tone too as well as cleaning up nicely.

PHEW- At last Tim has let the cat out of the bag .
It was killing me knowing that the cold Sweat set were on the horizon and I couldn't say much. I love the Sykes sound - the 1987 album being a fave along with Lizzy's Thunder and Lightning.

The Cold Sweat series should also sound good for Michael Schenker impressions too (yay!). His V had a pair in the early MSG days.

What? As well as a George Lynch, a John Sykes, an Ace frehley and a George Formby (ukelele banjo sound )

I may just be kidding on one of those...


Yeah! I mean all you need to sound like Ace Frehley is a Les Paul and a Marshall!
 :wink:


Don't forget platform boots! And the pickups have to be able to shoot fireworks or something. :twisted:


Over to you, Tim!

C'mon MM - don't quote me on that .
It's not like i sexed up a WMD report that we went to war over....

So ok - it's true about the Cold Sweat
But I deny the Ace Frehley bit (even as an ex Kiss fanatic)
And I have made guitars for Kiss tribute bands

The George Formby bit however may be true after spending 3 days opposite the Maughn amplifiers stand at the London Guitar Show
Too much jazz blues has gotten through our system and distorted our perspective. (NOT)

I think that the Holy Diver is supposed to be that....
Or at least the Dio bit - should also cover Ratt and Motley too!

How about a pickup set for stratocasters with a Brian May tone? I'm not a strat player but I think it could be interesting for those that are. :idea:

A treble booster, like the keeley Java Boost will get you close to that Brian May sound. And a few other vintage tones.  8)

A lot of Brian's tone is from the series connected single coils and the phase switches.
A 24" scale helps as does the general construction of his guitar

A curly lead as well- clogs are a must too
