hello,

does the VHII bridge model have a loose or tight bottom-end response? or somewhere in the middle?

thanks

VHII has very tight low end and a nice lower midrange growl.

awesome

by any chance, do you know how the VHII compares to the Seymour Duncan EVH humbucker?

trying to get that "Beautiful Girls" tone and vibe.

The output of both the VHII and the Duncan EVH are just about the same, the only main difference would be the AlNiCo used, V in the VHII and II in the Duncan EVH.

the VHII does early VH tones a treat, me and Twilight will both be a testamony to this, absolutly amazing pickup.. I've never heard anything as good out of any guitar in my life as the VHII.

although I really do like the Nailbomb, Mule, ColdSweat and MiracleMan but for totally different reasons.

VHII + HBE Power Screamer + Splawn = Early EVH to a T!!

does the Splawn not have enough gain and drive?? or are you using the Power Screamer for another purpose?

I've got a PV 5150 combo with JJ tubes. I'm hoping the VHII humbucker will be a good match for this amp.

No, the Splawn has plenty of gain. And I don't use the PS in front of it. I was merely stating a popular formula for many. (They use Gear 1 w/an OD in front of it)

well if u have a 5150 u wont have to worry about how much gain your pickup has coz those amps have stupid ammounts of gain, apparently based on the Soldano SLO100..
