Saturday Night's Alright for Modding

[RVA]

So, as I mentioned elsewhere, for no good reason, I decided to swap out some wonderful sounding Agile Alnico V HBs for BKP Stormy Mondays on my Agile 3010SE. I also did some before and after sound samples. But first, the disclosures:

- The pickup heights were not measured
- The channel volume might be slightly different
- I likely used different gauge strings - I have individual strings "in stock" and chose them at my whim when I re-string
- I changed the Box 3 way selector for the "better" kind, for everyone who thinks this affects tone
- I changed the PG, for the few others who thinks this affects tone

If this invalidates the experiment for you, you will want to skip the clips.

Now, since I changed the PG, pups and got rid of that pesky poker chip, and because this is a guitar forum, some pics

Before

After

And now, samples: bridge clean/bridge dirty/neck clean/neck dirty

So which do you prefer?

I wish I could have modded a guitar Saturday night. Instead, and not by choice, I renovated a toilet.

I bet you get more use out of your renovation than I do out of my mod!!

Are you internet browsing on your TV or do use a TV as a monitor?

Ha ha... My usual first-thing-in-the-morning routine. While I overload on coffee, I'm pinned down here in bed by adoring fan club:


I now combine this time with Internet and forum surfing on my smartphone while watching news and animal shows on the TV, and petting my fans when they insist on it. But, if I see or hear something on the net that's interesting thru my phone, I'll Bluetooth my phone to the Smart TV. That is, until I finally get out of bed...
