Gibson Burstbucker Pro Neck
Anonymous
Published on 09/14/08 at 07:14
I have a pair of pro Burstbucker on my les paul standard (for a year and a half).
These are very good microphones with a very strong personality "vintage" in the spirit of the old PAF in the late 50's.
I have some gibson pickups, 496 and 500T ceramic that were on my les paul classic, classic 57 + and p-94r)

-The Burstbucker for me is clearly the best of the band but of course completely subjective! The grain is very hoarse and sang, but with a mild indescribable magic that transcends every note. For me it's the bridge ("lead") that is most relevant, his colleague in the neck sounding for my taste a little more "common" but I'm not generally a big user of the neck pickup, I 'll let you judge for yourself ...

"I played some time on my classic original with original ceramic pickups (496R and 500T), they are also very very good microphones" singing "as we read sometimes they have an output level therefore and a nice bump up in the medium that make them very effective with a good amount of gain, they have this facility out of the mix solo but I find it a bit intrusive rhythm. Their grain was a bit too modern for me, so I placed a 57 + places in an acute and severe in p-94.

The classic-57 +, very soft and creamy, smooth ... I would say I do not find him an interesting character, preferring by far the Burstbucker for beautiful harmonic sounds lead waterlogged. That says a great microphone that will delight fans of sounds a little less marked and using an amp with such a strong character ...

The-p-94 (R) in serious Mounted on my classic, good for a slight crunch sounds bluesy and rockab ', we can send a good amount of treble on the amp, it appears without irritating the ears. In more pronounced distortion has less interest, very smooth but still with good headroom which allows to always have a very sharp attack ...

Finally, I keep on my BB standard but I'll keep searching the microphone ideal for acute les paul classic (I think try phat cat home seymour and if it's the right direction I would type in a Mississippi Queen Bare Knuckle which I mean the greatest good for some time ...) The classic 57 + will go on my old epiphone that deserves a real microphone!

I do not put a note as this notice is a small comparative gibson mics I own, but you understand that I love Burstbucker pro ...
