Another update....

I have had to fiddle around with the EQ settings on my Ashly preamps to dial in the sound, as the tonal range has 'shifted' slightly. I'm more impressed each time I play around with the tone. I've also noticed that the volume and tone knobs seem to be more responsive too. Little changes can now be heard, which is great. There seems to be no 'dead' areas in the pots now.

A really first rate job by Sergio. The newer high output Hi-gains really are lacking something IMO!!! Even with the windings down to 7.9K, the sound is LOUD and PUNCHY.

I will endeavour to post some sound clips when I come back from the tone wonderland I now find myself in. I urge others who are thinking about doing the same to DO IT!!! You won't be sorry......

Another happy customer. We'll be looking forward to the 'before and after' sound bites.

You're very modest Mr Silva. We all know it's down to RIC's stupendous pickups, but you offer the 'modification' process, which is what I applaud!!!!! LOL!!!

Sure glad you like the results, Mark. What you are hearing is my experience also. I too await the before/after comparisons.
