Series sounds on SSS Strat

[mattmayfield]

I just did RandomHero's series mod on my stock Mexi Strat.

www.1728.com/guitar3.htm

I remember seeing a few people wondering what this would sound like.

The new tones do not sound like humbuckers; there is a "family resemblance" but it is not an identical twin. I think its mom is the humbucker's sister and its dad is Strat Quack, which makes the N/M and N/B series tones cousins to the humbucker.

;D

Basically, I dig it. Plus the two "unintentional" sounds that come from the 5-way shorting in the extra pickup in parallel are nice Tele-ish tones. I plan to use this axe with its sorta-humbuckery sounds as a backup to my main SSH Strat.

This is true.

Sumgai, I'm in Minneapolis.

I like Minneapolis, except in the Summer or Winter. Every time that I go there it's either 96 F or a whole bunch less.

My company gots many functions there.


And do we really need a 500,000,000 sq. ft. IKEA?


I was reading a book aboot statistics.

It asked the question:

Which is more congested; Jakarta, IKEA, or Hell.

The only use for 96,000,000,000 sq ft IKEA's is that their parking lots can keep all the Volvos in one handy place and OFF THE ROAD!

I have a bit of a personal thing about the place since they spent a year building one a quarter of a mile from my house - now their sign lights up the night sky outside my bedroom window, and when they opened the store, they had an ABBA tribute band playing at full volume in a tent outside from 7 am, while all the invited guests gobbled their free breakfast.

...but screw it, my bassman goes to 12...........

Ugh. There should be highways and exits in that place.

My fiancée took me there when we were looking for a new futon. That place... I don't intend to go there again. The furniture is OK but it's just too big. Plus, I'd much rather look at a room full of couches, then a room full of tables, then a room full of recliners... but then as a geeky dude I don't see the need for furniture to match. ;D

That seems to be a trend, of bigger and bigger stores... Wal-Mart, Super Target, Home Depot (everything's bigger there), etc. Too much cookie-cutter suburbs, not enough personality.

"OT?" What's that...?
