So Anyway...

So Anyway, while doing a HB pickup swap on the AXL LP Jr, I dropped one height screw and spring, felt it hit my foot and roll off.
I found the spring but the screw wormholed. MFkr.
Moved what was around on the floor carefully, put the light down on the floor, no dice.
Its just a screw but I was royally pissed off that God has a really vindictive sense of humor sometimes.
Or whatever Murphys law scenario applies.

Redemption is claimed as 1. I had another screw, and 2. the new $19. A2 humbucker that is supposed to be modeled after the Gibson 57 Classic sounds really good.
The Agile 3k A5 I had in it is a good pickup, but the brighter A5 character I find a harsh honky upper mid range as gain is applied in the lighter OD / crunch region common in the couple of guitars I have (all budget level) with A5 bridge humbuckers.

As gain is ramped up on any of them the compression squeezes those frequencies out anyway. But, looking for the Bon era AC/DC, the balance cant be found by rolling the tone back on amp or guitar because it cuts too much treble.

I considered tuning down the B and/or especially G strings to compensate but that is more complication than I can tolerate in my life for now. Its not a hi e thing.

The tone rabbit hole I suppose.
Part of it may just be my inarticulate pick hand attack control (but improving slowly) , so this may evolve overtime.
 
Coll info on the pups!
sorry about you getting screwed---

yes the fates to have a sense of humor-- they got it from God -- who was a friend of O'Toole-- you've heard of O'tooles rule eh?---
No? O'toole was the guy what said MURPHY --- was an OPTIMIST!
 
So anyway, sorry for the wordy posts; sometimes I cannot articulate my thoughts in short bites.
I like to think of them as a string of licks that somehow actually work together... Idk.
 
So anyway... I drove 120 miles yesterday to Palm Springs where the temp was 120°. Was supposed to set up one computer to one printer. Got there and there were 9 computers. Got them all set up and drove 120 miles back home. 13 hour day, 240 mile drive and one pooped Wavmixer. My day started at 5am, got back home at 6 pm and was asleep on the couch before 7pm.
