More jamming late last night and some fresh ears morning run thru.
Good grief the RY's are demanding, very accurate and lots of attitude. I worked the height positions and this is critical !! Its not a approximate that will do like Ive experienced in the past. If one purchases these you must find the sweet spot on your guitar. Ive got the low end locked in and what a kick in the pants !! Its so immediate right there ready to launch. The mids and high end Im close but Ill have to resort to the pup screws for final detailing.
Im still kinda mixed on the mids and high end. Mids only because of years of JBing but I brought the amp up to compensate some. The high end IMO is bright as in the cutting of it. Its not grating or fizzy just sharp. I can see how this would benefit in a live situation tho. Still my ears say hey wait a minute here but when my playing is accurate the cut sits collectively with the rest of the pickups voice. Id say it adds to the harmonic jump too. I love the harmonic content of the RY's, thats a total blast !! I backed down the high end on the amp some, did feather out some brightness but the cut is wicked. I think again thats tied to the immediate response and clarity the RY's have.
Finally as Ive mentioned the more gain the merrier :D This pickup loves gain gain gain !! Ive got the Splawn pegged on the gain and no issues with the RY's tracking thru it, amazing :guitar4:
I'll continue to dial in and adjust my playing. Im curious how they will do with more classic rock textures in the lower gain categories. Wont know till my playing comes around to the demands of the Rebel Yell's but all in all these pick up don't suck. You gotta have your act together to get whats available and when you do, you get Rebel Yelled at :good:
