No dice. I'm not a member of NAMM and that's the first day of classes.

Echoing all the comments on the 480. Those early '70s pickups, there's something about them. When overdriven, they've got that special tone you can't get from any other pickups.

The Collin/Danotron Lightshow has the same pickups, and it packs as much of a punch as the 480.

Regrettably, I'm going to have to back out due to illness. I was REALLY looking forward to this one, too. Have fun, all! Hopefully I'll see some of you at NAMM. I might only be going Saturday at this point.
