Hi all, just found out about this forum and registered. Some time ago I ordered a set of Apache Strat pickups for my Strat/Jazzmaster bastard and have been incredibly pleased with them. I just recorded some songs with this guitar and thought I'd post them here. Let me know what you think.

Awesome tone and playing, really like your style. I gotta get me at least one apache for my partscaster :D

Really like the tone-sounds huge but warm.

What's your recording/gear set up?

Man! That is some beautiful sound! Love your playing/writing style. Very Therapeutic Sound. Not that i'm sick, except for G.A.S. :lol: That's some of the prettiest clean sounds on the forum. Love the odd time sigs too. If i didn't have Apaches on the way already, this clip would have sealed the deal. Keep it up. Send more clips! , Lifted

Really great tones and playing, you might want to move it to the players room as more people will listen to it there. Good stuff.

Awesome! :P

Excellent- what a debut! Apaches are just wonderful. I agree with Steve, if this was in the players forum you will probably get more listeners. Welcome to the forum.
No sooner said than done (players room)

Excellent - really great clean sound and playing.

I've got a set and think they are fantastic. Very versatile too - also sound good on higher gain settings.

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. I've tried just about every Fender Custom Shop single coil set but these Apaches are in a league of their own.

The gear I used for the recordings is my Jazzmaster/Strat bastard (with Apaches) through an Atlantis echo and Lexicon MPX110 (reverb) into a Fender Dual Showman 2x15 (for guitar + reverb) and a Fender Quad Reverb (for echo only).

Below is a pic of me with my Jazzmaster/Strat. I've had it built by a luthier here in Brussels.

SHWEET! Woody-inducing tone, sir. Nicely done!

Wow, great tone. Your playing style reminds me a little bit of the newest Thrice cd, and that's a really good thing.

Is it just me or is that a Burns style headstock you have on that thing?

EDIT: The whole neck looks like it coulda been cannibalised from a Burns Marquee?

Sebmarine · « **Reply #13 on:** July 02, 2006, 02:44:29 AM »

You're right, I asked them to do a Burns style headstock, but slanted. The rest of the neck shape is actually copied off a Jazzmaster neck I really liked. All pickups are slanted at the same angle as a Strat bridge pickup, thought it would look nice with the "offset" Jazzmaster body. It has 3 on/off Jaguar style slide switches (doesn't get much easier than that) and no tone/volume controls (as you might have noticed).

:D Those are beyond doubt some of the very best Demos we`ve had on the forum. 8)

We can tell you`ve been listening to Cold Play !! :P

Fantastic Tone on those Apaches. If i had to get a set of singles then i`d have to go for Apaches. Now i no why 38th loves his !!!
