Duh...CC

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Anyone who has this pickup??
The CC looks like something I could use.
Completely overlooked the A2 magnet.
Anyone with clips??

there is one demo of the CC i did on there (distorted -clean-wah)

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Argh soundclip is having issues from my end of the line.
Thanks, I'll hear them later when the server is good again.

i was havin problems too but it seems to be workin again

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Works now....yep thanks alot.
I also dug up Stevo's clips

[flank]

yeah that one CC clip of his with the big open chords almost knocked me over.... but i was usin a crappy ibanez and the line 6 guitar port for this.......so just imagine that the CC would sound even better through a real tube amp and a niec guitar...

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

It sounds like it has that midrange sound I look for.
Almost like an extra fat Seth

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

Hails man, give me your email and i ´ll send you one NICE clip i did with my charvel fusion Deluxe(avatar) .
PM me with youremail

Yes I agree, like a Seth on steroids I think the CC is great for a more "modern" rock sound.

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Yeah it seems so, but it is still a sweet 'bucker with the charateristics of the more vintagesounding ones.
Seems like I found my perfect Wolfgang pu.

I tried a CC in my Wolfgang, but I eventually took it out because it was lacking bass. No matter what I did or how I EQ'd the amp, all I could hear was midrange. I liked it better with an A3 magnet, as it had more bass and a little more overall clarity. If you like that 1984-era Van Halen sound, then you'll love the CC in a Wolfgang. If you have an A3 magnet lying around, give that a try, as I think it works better in a Wolfgang than the stock A2 magnet.

Heh trust me, I do not lack bass in my setups.
I am not a big fan of modern sounding too tight pickups
Right now an odd hybrid of a Demon and a JB fills the spot for my normal Demon or 59 bridge pickup.
The 59 went into my 88 Kramer as it is a fat guitar from birth.
The Wolfgang is very open and crunchy...has lots of presence and great defenition, so I need a loose pickup for my playing, that would be something like the Seth, EVH, APH-1 or the CC apperantly

In that case, I think you'll probably like it. Lots of people love that pickup in a Wolfgang. But do try it with an A3 magnet if you can find one, I liked it much better that way than in its stock form.

hey guys
i was really interested in this pickup in my flying v
but i read somewhere that the CC shouldnt go in mahogany bodies, but would sound good on ebony fretboads...
so im not sure!
ive head some clips around and they sound awesome, but im just concerned on how the alnico2 will sound with the mahogany. its either goin to be the CC or the Custom
wat do u guys think?

[Wattage]

I like the CC best of all the Custom line -

it can certainly go in a mahogany guitar, what nonsense!

does a lighter guitar mean usually brighter?

[Pauleo]

does a lighter guitar mean usually brighter?

No it absolutely does not. The rigidity of the wood matters quite a bit though. For example hard rock maple is much more rigid than mahogany. The more rigid the wood, then more of the higher frequencies are retained instead of lost. However, this applies to the neck more than any other part on the guitar as the neck functions as a cantilever and experiences most of the vibrations where the strings are concerned. Another example is how bright carvin guitars are: Usually the necks are made of maple, are neck through, and in addition to having a truss rod, they are reinforced by two graphite rods. Hope this helps

Hmmmmmm just got a very light LP Standard Maghony body maple top.... don't know where that fits in
