    FYI, I've had a Marauder since they were first released. Think of the triple bucker as a mini hum bucker with a single coil slapped onto it...the switching is the same as an SSH Strat. Front position is the Jazzmaster alone, next is the Jazzmaster and the front single coil of the triple bucker, middle is the front single coil of the triple bucker alone, next is all three coils of the triple bucker, and the last position is the back two coils of the triple bucker, wired as a mini hum bucker. The overall effect is something like a really heavily modded strat with a jazz master in the neck, a tele neck pickup in the middle and a mini hum bucker in the bridge.

      That's it, Gary, good description. I have the Lake Placid Blue. I was financially constrained at the time and didn't really need it when they first came out (although I thought they were the first original thing that Fender did in decades and quite versatile), but later when they were discontinuing them, I got a great blowout clearance deal for one brand new for $289 from Full Compass. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I think they are pretty unique and versatile, so I kept mine in the collection/arsenal. Typically, Fender did not market them well, and it was another worthy model that came and went as people did not understand them, but the Marauder should still be in their offerings IMHO.

  • @sonicsmainman1
    @sonicsmainman1 13 років тому +2

    1st position: Neck / 2nd: Neck and inside bridge coil / 3rd: Inside bridge coil alone / 5th: Bottom two bridge coils as a humbucker / 4th: Combo of 3 and 5 positions, im assuming thats a humbucker and single coil at the same time.

  • @MDK2323
    @MDK2323 12 років тому +1

    From what I understand, the triple bucker is basically like a single coil and a humbucker just all in the same body cavity. The 3rd coil which is closest to the neck of the 3 can basically be used as a stand alone single coil. So the wiring is basically like an H-S-S configuration, it just looks odd, and the tones are certainly not your typical H-S-S stuff. Very cool, and very different.

  • @protonman7
    @protonman7 11 років тому +2

    I got one of each, a black Marauder and dark brown wood Jaguar. I love
    them both, but usually end up with the Marauder, because of the feel and
    the triplebucker is really nice. I play it instead of a Les Paul, an SG and
    an American Deluxe Strat, lots of times. It is both cheap and well-made.

  • @elcentinela1000

    I got a Marauder LPB some months ago and The rest of my arsenal's been collecting dust ever since (high end axes all of them). This is one different beast that's for sure, you've gotta be patient and explore all The vast posibilites behind this rather unorthodox design. A real keeper here...

    • @nealixd.3011
      @nealixd.3011 4 роки тому

      I still have my LPB Marauder too. Very versatile and unique guitar, that can cut just about any gig. Too bad Fender did not market them well, so they would stay around. About the most new design they had done in decades, but they are not very good marketing and explaining things to folks to help cool new models catch on.

  • @digiscream
    @digiscream 13 років тому +1

    Simple way to figure out roughly what the wiring is with the triplebucker - just get a screwdriver and tap each blade (and the other pickup, for completeness) while it's plugged into the amp. The volume of the knocking sound from the amp should tell you which coils are active :)

  • @bambuchajr
    @bambuchajr 12 років тому +1

    Really enjoy your videos here in Los Angeles. If I can weigh in on the pick up selection switching, I believe the switching is the same as an HSS configuration. Position 1 (P1) is the 2 single coils at the end. P2 is all 3 single coils (triple bucker). P3 is the just the 3rd single coil closer to the jazz pick up. P4 is the 3rd coil and the jazz pick up. P5 is the jazz pick ip alone. Hope this helps.

  • @Justin.Franks
    @Justin.Franks 10 років тому +1

    An easy way to check which coils are active is to lightly tap the pole pieces (or the rails) with a screwdriver or other metal-tipped object. The coils that are active will pass the tapping through to the amp.

  • @brooklynboy1000
    @brooklynboy1000 10 років тому +3

    Flicking through the guitar's five-way switch you get the Triplebucker in its humbucking mode; all three coils on; the inside coil of the Triplebucker on its own; that inside coil combined with the P-90-style neck pickup; and the neck pickup solo.

    • @garystackhouse5787
      @garystackhouse5787 9 років тому +1

      Paul Wohlstetter You are correct...just as I originally described above. It's like an HSS Strat with a mini humbucker, a small single coil in the middle (like a tele neck pickup, for instance) and a Jazzmaster (not a P-90) in the neck.

  • @mapsjeep
    @mapsjeep 11 років тому +8

    In the future, if you don't know what the selector switch does, tap the pickups with a screw driver individually and it will be fairly obvious what the switch does.

    first position on the switch is the p-90, second position is the p-90 with only one coil of the triplebucker, third position is just one coil from the bucker, the fourth is the p-90 and the triple bucker, and the fifth position is all three coils in the triplebucker. just bought the marauder it is an awesome and extremely versatile guitar perfect for gigging.

    I really like the Marauder, very impressive! The Jag is a bit too far removed from the real ones, more like a pseudo non reverse Firebird. Nothing wrong with that mind you, I LOVE NR 'Birds, but calling it a Jaguar just seems wrong.

    I recently picked up a modern player jag and I love it. Granted, I would pick up my Mexican strat over this any day, and the mum was cheaper (Craigslist ftw) but for blues the jag has a great tone and I absolutely love the look. The jag is what I show my friends first. I would recommend it a lot.

    For the Marauder
    Pos. 1 - neck pickup
    Pos. 2 - neck pickup with the first inside coil of the triplebucker
    Pos. 3 - just the inside coil of the triplebucker
    Pos. 4 - all three coils of the triplebucker (kinda boosts the high end)
    Pos. 5 - back two coils of the triplebucker

    The Marauder is very interesting, but I like the Jaguar in transparent black. No silly switches in

    out of tune easily. Looks great, too. Love p90s.

    • @Deebz270
      @Deebz270 4 роки тому +1

      The Gibson 'Marauder' was a Les Paul=esq bodied guitar with a *screw* fastened neck which had a 'Flying-V' style 'arrow'-shaped headstock.
      They were designed - like so many alternate line Gibson guitars of the time (RD and sighlty later Victory series) to compete with Fender guitars, offering single-coil voicings (Tele). They were cheaper than the more mainstream stable of guitars from Gibson... Now rare and worth quite a bit, if you can find one in good nick.

    • @steppenwolf_666
      @steppenwolf_666 4 роки тому

      @@Deebz270 Thanks for the detailed information! IIRC, Ron Wood (still known for playing with Rod Stewart then) did a magazine ad for it. Tried to give the impression that he'd used it for the solo on Maggie May, but that song was out before the guitar was. Lol. Still, I wanted one. I was about 15 at the time.

    TheJamesd74 Thanks for the advice. The problem with cost is that in my country, Argentina, guitars are twice the price as in the US. And if I buy from ebay I´m not sure it will get past customs nowadays, because of new commercial restrictions, so I will bring one when I travel.
    I really like the Gibson SG, it´s one of my favorite guitars.

      to be honest - i love it - i couldnt believe what good quality it is - it feels like an guitar for like 450~+, which is amazing for this price.
      wanted to use it as side-guitar, its my main now.
