Subsub74 « It oozes quality! »
Published on 02/11/13 at 12:36I bought one in June 2011 American Standard Strat. I dreamed for years, and I ordered it online.
Very nice guitar, violin impeccable, but what a disappointment side microphones!
It sounded tight, twangy on the bridge pickup, and no personality.
After some research on the forums, I was advised to contact Marc.
Gilmour and Knopfler fan, I am facing this set Gilmourish.
Not being super confident to change myself mics, I bought the stuff for me redo a full pickguard.
Marc has guided me, and I've ordered a set Gilmourish, and I was completely wired (total € 250 with microphones!). Gear received in a week, mounted in 30 minutes.
Great job, really a good quality microphones, cabling really like the Custom Shop (vintage), and it has nothing to do with the original wiring.
I recommend without hesitation! In addition, if we can win a French craftsman rather than a big American firm, it pleases me as an idea.
His side, I finally have a Strat worthy of the name.
I think this set is very balanced, it really looks like the guitar breathes deeply.
Since then, Fender has revised his copy and handed the CS 50 series on American Std (with 100-150 € more of course, as how their microphones rotten it was to save ...).
Compared to the original set of my strat, the output level of the microphone is not very high (but at least it is balanced because the bridge pickup's original strat was too strong compared to others).
I was looking for a good balance of Gilmour and Knopfler and this is exactly that. Not as typical as the Texas Special, but more colorful than the original pickups.
I also have a Mexican Strat equipped with the famous EMG DG20 set. The output level EMG is significantly higher (and does very well out defects guitarist
). The sound is really great, I also love. Perfect example for "Shine on you ...." or Marillion, top with a small chorus. But it is very different. Smoother, less character.
And "last but not least," if you have the opportunity to get a compressor pedal Boss CS2 (yes, the first Gilmour ...), the sound is simply outstanding with this set of microphones! It moves serious and can really bring out different nuances depending on our game can have an output level of mind-blowing! For comparison, the EMG DG20 in the same pedal are completely suppressed.
Anyway, I'm really amazed.
Since I bought this set, the number of testimonials on forums has increased considerably, and there are now plenty of samples so if you have any doubts, listen! Compare! And pass the course ...
