Servus Steven,
I thought you have changed to an accustic guitar people call "Martin".
Your thread seemes me, you got back to your roots.
First of all: tele is a good thing and twin is hot stuff...no question!
I wonder you like the middle-position neck/bridge in a strat.
Is this like Tele?...and that with noise
!
I can tell you, that a hot rod deluxe can be also a good choice, if you make a cab-job in the power supply unit (my friend made it for me).
Formerly there where cabs as wide as a finger now there a cabs nearly as wide as a fist inside.
Now the bass is tightened and I get a balanced sound.
Also a friend spended a master-volume for the clean chanel so I can rise the clean volume and reduce at the output stage.
The reverb ist enhanced.
For speaker I experience with Weber bluedog cer. 50W, Bulldog al. 15W, Tayden HighBrit cer. 50W and Celestion greenback cer. 25W in different combinations.
Sometimes I like this and sometimes I like that.
I have a lot of fun with that stuff!
I have three Teles but my mostly liked guitar is a mexican strat with a 4th reversed singlecoil positioned and wired to a humbucker with the bridge-pickup...I love it...with Callaham steel tremolo, small steel saddles, which do not toutch each other.
In the humbucker-mode it is very important to keep the trad. way of wireing with two tone-pots.
So you have in the 5th station only the vol. with 250k and no tone-pot.
It`s in relation to the resistance like a humbucker with a 500k vol- and a 500k tone-pot (the last full open).
I think that`s great!
For my Cheri-Tele with EMG alnico pickups I will now engage the PA2 boost-switch.
In my preferred high-gain-style I will surely get more fun.
For another tele I have a 90th tele-set from Van Zandt and I got it for sale (99,-DM...I could not resist
).
I think, it is smooth enough to challenge with the most custom-made pickups.
For my Rockinger 5kg-nonswamp-ash-tele
I got a Schecter metal-pickguard wired with push-pull-bigmag-pickups.
After removing the metal-plates from the pickups and potting them with wax they make a lot of fun.
Before I did, I had more whistle and appropriate response than a whistleblower
.
Have a good tele- and strattime with your modified twin.
Your combinations must be really great...I really belief!
A twin is normally a great amp...modified maybe much better.
A tele is normally a great guitar...modified ....
Whish you much fun with your combi!
Woifi
My question concerning to the white ceramic emg`s is still not answered. ((I got it also for sale (new: 90DM)...so I could make you a very acceptable price!)).
What tele was it (wood of body and neck, bridge)?
If selled, is the customer satisfied and what is his comment?
Don`t shy to give me an answer, old friend!
I am allways thinking about things I have saled...make me free from my scruples or send me in damnation...I can stand it
!!!
