Help Me Decide Pickup Colors

[Cadorman]

I'm testing some pickups in the Signature T right now, but I plan on winding a specific set for it next week. This came stock with uncovered 57 Classic and Classic + in it and I have been running it with gold covers. I will be putting cream trim rings back on. I'm thinking I want to go back to the stock uncovered look. I have gold slugs and screws coming for the bobbins.

Should I go all black, all cream, Zebra or covered? What do you all think?

 

[Clockworkmike]

Either black or gold covers. But thats just my opinion

 

[SG John]

Since you're putting the cream trim rings back on, I vote for gold or cream pickups.

 

[Metal89]

Gold is my vote.

 

[Hackmaster]

Gold covers with black rings for me.
But uncoverd zebra would look quite nice as well.

 

[Far Rider]

Go for the gold.

 

[Ramo]

Black is more metal!

Or leave black pick ups and change pick up ring to gold and will match rest of the hardware.

So you guys are saying stick with this look.

Due to the binding and knobs? Yeah id stay with the them. Kinda has a White Falcon vibe going on with it

That makes it easy. I don't have to make new pickups. I'll just change the pole screws to gold and add gold covers to the ones I'm testing. Those cream trim rings are the historic spec tall ones. I like them.

 

[Ghostman]

That looks perfect to me

Yes.

 

[DirtySteve]

I voted zebra.

 

[Cadorman]

So far we're at 80 % gold covers and 20 % zebra. I have abstained from voting.

Here's an almost clean video with the CB3 pickups in Whitey. I put the trim rings and gold covers on last night. I have the channels jumpered on the 50 watt lead with the channels pretty balanced and the 412 is loaded with Vintage 30s. So if it seems too dark or midrangey it is easily dealt with.

I'll do one later with the DSL to show the other end of the spectrum. If I can get Boo off of me.

 

[Cadorman]

As promised.

I'm using ultra gain 2 (red) with gain on 7. These pickups seem to like gain.

 

[Cadorman]

I cant see your shoes!!!!!

Sounds great!!!!. I love your delay tone.


Now go listen to my clips damnit.

I just did.

 

[Cadorman]

That delay is a Flashback on the tape setting.

 

[Cadorman]

I was just teasing you.
