DeVeeWee Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Anyone who plays/played through these pick-ups? I'm planning to replace my DynaSonic single-coils on my Gretsch 6131 TDS by these TV Jones Classics 'cause these dual-coils produce an awesome sound as you may state yourself.. Any advice is more than welcome! [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hi kris I love them. They are on my Grestch Brian Setzer. The bridge pick up can produce shattering glass like tones, while the mid and Neck pick up just has some really nice more mid range twang. If you don't mind the clip, here is the Gretsch in action at our open mic a few years back. I use all three pick up selector tones in this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn8LeVuY47k Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 If you own a gretsch it is the pickup of choice for that classic gretsch sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 There is so much ambient sound in that room I can't tell what the hell those pick ups sound like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah I've never heard them in a tele myself but they are awesome in a gretsch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeeWee Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 There is so much ambient sound in that room I can't tell what the hell those pick ups sound like.... The room seemed to small to me for a high quality recording, but apart of that, the sound is amazing, considering there was no effect pedal around.

cookieman15061 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 heres a nice example [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeeWee Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 heres a nice example Thx cookieman! I presume the sound will be more fat if you turn up the volume. That's what I'm searching with these dual coils, that bit of warm overdrive tone( >< of the clean rockabilly tone)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Walrus Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If you can get your hands on the esclusive starlla pickups - I realize this ain't that easy to acomplish - you are sure to get tons of amazing gretsch, TV Jones, Humbucking and single coil tones. That guitar is a tone monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
