you want something better--would you trust b.b.king's choice for tone---GIBSON 490

Were these your favourite at the time you demoed them? Any new favourites?

It must be the uncle larry shirt that boosted the tone lol Nice playing

Sounds like a well setup guitar (pickup hight) .. nice playing too 👌🏻 dynamics well utilized

57s sounds too good compared to dimarzio and more versatile.

I’m in the process of putting RS kits in all my guitars. So much more clarity, feels more responsive under the fingers, I have multiple guitars. I had a RS kit in two of my guitars and I kept reaching for the two guitars with RS kits in them. That’s when I decided to get kits for the rest of them.

Wow beautiful jingle tone , like single coil just better 😀 what amp you used?

My set is being shipped to me as we speak. Chalk up another sale to the Visual Guy.

Awesome, huge sound!

Do you remember how the volume balance was with this set? I'm looking for a bright neck pickup that can keep up with a Wilde Keystone bridge (similar to a Cavalier Nashville, I believe).

Someone used to park their cigarettes on the headstock like Eddie V, I see the burn marks ;)

You should have stopped playing after the first few notes cause you should have realised you've plugged in electronically uncompatable components. You've lost all your famous Les Paul sounds and replaced them with tube like sounds and tones where there shouldn't be any tones. It should just sound like cracking, crunchy, voltage ⚡️ sounds. Which create BASS MIDS AND TREBLES sounds that you can use. So basically you foolishly thought a modern Les Paul is designed for any era Marshall, but they're not. As you should have found out when you plugged in and tried to use it. Your tones are all over the place and that's the sound of mismatched electronical signals. Then you really confused your amplifier by plugging in a tube screamer variant. Ibanez has an electrically exclusive signal just like fender does. They were forced into making their own pedal which electrically works with their exclusive signal. At this point 👉 you may as well just go fishing 🎣 instead of struggling with your setup.

That's NOT wah. This is what they call a tone control sweep or a volume sweep. To be considered wah it must have the voltage ⚡️ boost hump somewhere in the middle of the sweep. On either ends of the sweep the voltage ⚡️ boost must disappear. They explained it all to you on a graph 📊 You don't have any boosting going on. You just have a tone sweep or a volume change type of sound. You've mixed so many high impedance and low impedance circuits, you don't know where you are. To people who understand wah, your sound is terrible.

What are you using for a capacitor?

I have 2 sets of this amazing tele pickup.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸👍😎👍

I have Burstbucker pro’s neck in 2 of my guitars. They have a clean and bright tone that can give pinch harmonics in the neck, and don’t get muddy with some distortion. Which many alnico 2 pickups do when put in the neck, imho.

Visual Guy! you rock!

I think Bridge custombuckers and for the neck I actually prefer the “ crisper slightly harsher” 57s…and that’s what I’m going to upgrade My Epi Les Paul standard with…great vid 👍 might go for 57plus for a little extra “push”

Seths

I've watched many comparison videos between Celestion and WGS and after this one I came to the realization there shouldn't be competition between the two. In a 2x12 cab loaded with one G12H and one Reaper the tone is full, rich and robust, plus it cuts through the mix. Long/Short when used together both brands compliment each other beautifully.

Really cool comparison! I liked the regular Tele with the Z-Lux and the Les Paul with the X-Ray. Both sounded great, just different, with the Strat & Tele+OD.

Tell me which you prefer with which guitars, AND WHY!

Excellent comparison video Jacob, thanks. I believe it will help players. The Z Lux with its four 6V6's sure sounds warmer , and the X Ray with it's four 6n14n's ( EL 84 variant ) has a wonderful acoustic quality in its tone.

Are these cast A2 magnets? plenty of mid range punch but im not familiar with that Dr.Z amp. I have a couple of JTM45's & black face amps, looking to replace the custombuckers in my '64 335, already have Wizz in my main LP which are maybe too hot for the 335. These sound awesome in that LP, very nice demo as always :) Cheers from Australia.

I like both. Had a R7 with BB 1&2 that sounded amaze balls. Had a R8 with Custombuckers that was also incredible. BB neck is a little bassier/jazzier/vintage/muddy depending on your taste. But that's what they make T-Tops for. ; )

Has to be heard in person to be believed, its incredible.

Thanks for making all of these comparison videos. After listening to the Custombuckers vs Throbacks, Wizz, and Antiquities, I’ve come to the conclusion that swapping anything for Custombuckers wouldn’t be something I’d be interested in… though I guess I need to hear how bad they feedback under decently high gain (punk rock).

I have had mules and they sucked. Worst Pickup I ever purchased. Utter Crap.

I don't hear a difference. I ordered the Wolftone and the Throback pedals. He makes very good pedals.

Dividen Sky the wind blows high!

Can't hear any major difference. I listened several times.

Fralin is better

Both sound good and are pretty similar. But I think I like the bb a little bit more at least in the neck position

Thanks for this, five years after the fact. I’m considering both of these brands for my Flying V, and I think I’m going for the Lollar, based on this video. The Lollar seems to have more upper mid detail, while the Fralin seems more scooped. Both sound great, though.

Absolutely Stellar

I have to dial them in like a plexi amp. You have to mix a little low (neck) in with the high ( bridge). With the right mix the middle position can get an amazing crunch tone.

Such a great amp! Excellent demo!

Burstbucker 1&2 all the way - that's what I run in my Les Paul. You want bright and sparkly - that's what Fenders are for 😁

Sounds epic mate. As ever, your bluesy playing is awesome.

Well gee wilakers Batman, this VS15 I have is already more amp than I deserve 😂

I dig the tones surely enough. But what further impresses me is that Dano. I don’t usually dig blue on guitars, but that thing is beautiful.

Very nice Jacob. Excellent job of sweeping the controls and demoing the various tones of the X Ray. The Strat sounded rich and the Goldtop sounded sweet.

Dislike! You need to compare, neck-neck, bridge-bridge! In order to understand the differences. Oh, on your video, you need to fill in two sounds and then compare from memory! Or, rewind, which is not convenient!

This is the sound I associate with a vintage Gibson either ES-335 or LP. How do these compare to the Imperial Low Winds in your opinion?

Can you tell us what changes you have made to the wiring harness, i.e. pot/cap brand and values and any wire upgrades? Thanks for the comparisons.

Listening on studio monitors, the 59 and BB neck are almost identical sounding with the BB having a bit more bottom end bloom, and both bridges were pretty close as well, both a little hotter to push the amp just a tad, however the bridges did have a noticeable EQ difference with the BB a bit more twang. They both had openness, clarity, string definition and push. To those who complain the Gibbys are muddy, I think that's more a product of Gibson's stock wiring harness/pot values.

Seymour-59s sound like they have short alnico. I very like 'em. Both models sound very vital an beautiful, at the same level.
