What should I look out for/what words do you use to describe them?

(Excuse my ignorance :D ) The old pups have more of a muddy sound where the crunch of the distortion is kind of blended. The new pups are hotter (louder & brighter) and the crunch of the distortion is MUCH clearer. Sometimes you might want a muddy sound but you can set that with your EQ & distortion pedal.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gfs-pickups-in-guitar-player/paged/3/#post-179751 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gfs-pickups-in-guitar-player/paged/3/#post-179724 Mon, 29 May 2006 00:40:59 +0000

Second, I have played the gretch billy gibsons plays, and I do not like it. But thats just me.]]> Guitar Players Discussion duffmaster https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gfs-pickups-in-guitar-player/paged/2/#post-177818 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gfs-pickups-in-guitar-player/paged/2/#post-177803 Fri, 19 May 2006 20:50:57 +0000 . ("Everyone's got one . . . ")
I listened to the GFS Retrotrons - and the Memphis one is just what I'm getting at! I don't dislike the sound, don't get me wrong, but it's such a strong flavour I couldn't live with it for my main axe. It'd be like putting Jalapeno peppers in everything you cook. Delicious in the right place, but not all the time :shock:I like that analogy. 8)
"The jalapeño rates between 2,500 and 8,000 Scoville units in heat. Handling fresh jalapeños may cause skin burns - wear latex or vinyl gloves while cutting, skinning, or seeding jalapeños." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalapeno
And there are varieties out there that rate seven to eight million Scoville units! ]]> Guitar Players Discussion Doug_C https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/gfs-pickups-in-guitar-player/paged/2/#post-177803
