    think the seller sent you a knockoff version i have the black version of this pedalboard which looks higher quality it has surrounds on the holes to protect the cables also can come with a case if you get the right one maybe best get it from a different supplier my board is great .

    With both boards you can take the rubber feet off the front, and double up on the back, so it is at an angle. The will give room for the power supply underneath. The longer bolts could be for putting both rubber feet on the back.

    Hi, Kevin! I bought a black Squier strat affinity back in 99. The serial number is CY 99xxxxxx crafted in China, so it was made in 99 in China Yako (Taiwan). My brother in law changed the pickups to HSS (he doesn't remember the brand name, but I guess they are not high end pickups). Now I like its neck very much (better than my USA Fender strat of 98). The original tuners hold tone very well. I changed the nut to a bone nut and put also two fender roller string holder on it. I use the bridge humbucker mostly in order to avoid the terrible noise from the single coils. The bridge is a 6 point bridge. The action is quite low and I love the neck as I've already mentioned. I'm thinking of getting some better pickups and electronics one day. Has anyone some recommendations here? Greetings from Austria!

  • @juancarlosconejo543
    @juancarlosconejo543 8 місяців тому

    The problem with the noise of pickups is that the ground does not do it well because the cable connects with the bridge that is painted with non-conductive paint, if we scrape the bridge a little and it makes good contact with the metal the noise disappears

    Curious if you have any thoughts/opinions on sound hole humbucker pickups into a full-on electric rig (I.e dirt / mod / delay pedals > tube amp). I only know of a few guitarists who nail that approach, though I haven’t seen much content on UA-cam discussing the topic.

      Have you tried it in different rooms, different environments? Is it transferring sound to flooring? Try isolation from the floor with a stand, or placing it on foam. Does your amp’s eq not reduce it by turning down the bass? What do you describe as “boomy”?
