This text was in the Guitar Player magazine cover story on GH (‘87?) and accompanied his Polaroids of some of the highlights of his collection.

I finally saw one of these yesterday with my own two eyes, tried it, and took it home.

I like it better than a JB. There, I said it.

Maybe? Depends on how your guitar is set up at the moment.

Already picked some up!

Azureglo is definitely less sighted and very cool. Welcome to Club 362!

If it’s the neck pickups on both necks, I bet it’s the Rick O Sound jack at fault. Caig DeOxit is your friend, spray both jacks real good and try again.

that’s hot

Received shipment as well. It’s a great day.

holy cow

Also, I have a big roll of repro amp covering that is the same green basket weave as seen here that I’d trade off.

Pre-In, I’d guess, is if you were using the power amp only, like if you’re linking from another head and running multiple cabinets.

The pots just might be dirty, have you tried De-Oxit?

I bet this thing sounds great.

If only you had a ‘70-ish transitional bridge position hi-gain Rick pickup!

This has made me very happy and warms my cold, cold heart

I need another bass like a hole in the head, but these are pretty hot.

For me, the aesthetics of toaster vs higain is less noticeable than that of 21 fret vs 24. I like both kinds of pickups, they make different sounds. Visually, I get 5-10 feet away from the instrument and can’t tell a difference, unless the lighting is dead on. Smaller headstocks, 21-fret fingerboard...
