psycheblues « PAF ... slap !! »
Published on 08/29/14 at 05:02I use this time for 2 weeks, I rewrite a notice when I will use them for longer.
I had the opportunity to test and try different mics like PAF, whether or not they shop. Of Benedetti, Hepcat, SP Custom and Bare Knuckle always on Gibson Les Paul (guitar that I did changed).
Already the first thing MS Tornado are less expensive than other 249 € a set of humbucker PAF pickups shop for hand made is not excessive, far from it.
Also Mark (the founder of Storm MS) is very attentive, when I started to change my pickups for his I sent him an email, the response was swift and excellent advice. Me explaining details of microphones, different possibility wiring and so on, always very gently and very detailed (not too fancy word that often professional know how to give us ...).
In the end I brought up by my luthier (Gaëtan Nicq, ENG or Guitar Guitar Lutherie Orleans) and it was he who was able to do with all the little details Marc, always according to my desire, of course, and the My use of the guitar.
When I tried the microphones for the first time there is one thing that surprised me ... DYNAMIC is simply mind blowing, to rival the best right hand in the guitar world. The slightest desire is immediately send and sounds instantly, but against these microphones require to have a good right hand, and suddenly I'm reworking it again and again to get to tame these wonders.
To the sound that's easy, it's a PAF, not a copy with a little more bass to stick to the time or another, this is not a PAF, with a powerful sound (not harder) in bridge and a round and warm in his sleeve. The middle position is perfect, I use it now as I did not like it at all and did not use before.
The excellent dynamic that they are very malleable and relatively versatile shot, but that's not what we want them mainly so do not expect something to make Afrobeat interbreeding with Cuban ^^ ...
Accuracy is say typical sound of the 60s
So it's perfect for Rock, Blues, Jazz (about half body it must be delicious) and other variations of those three, but they are not as active pickups EMG makes, so you will always have these impressions of harmonics present in the background, and completeness of its roundness and warmth, inseparable thing about these styles.
I know now that I do not regret my choice, and I already know that in 5 years I will always regret it.
These are microphones that are perfect in every way for all those who love the sound of the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s in the Blues, Rock and Jazz.
We are not in a world of versatility or all is good, but nothing great, we are in a world of excellence or excellence but is related to something specific (60 ', 70', 80 ') .
Other shops pickups are good, very good certe, but the difference between them and the Tornado MS is now well dug.
Thank you Marc for these microphones.
PS: A word about the maker.
Gaëtan Nicq and it marks ENG Guitar (Guitar Lutherie Orleans Google) is a luthier who makes excellent guitars and a value for money could not be more attractive.
Whether it's a complete creation or a copy, it's still very nice.
And a bonus for that Telecaster copy that is really, really good point with a handle could not be more pleasant. For a price of 450 € is really nice to have such a guitar (a Telecaster Baja is € 500 used ...) knowing that everything is customizable free or almost. The example of a friend who thus do now Thinline Telecaster Ash with a maple neck maple fingerboard. So semi-hollowbody and all
It eventually will cost him € 530 (€ 80 more for a change of wood, a soundboard, a widened body, a handle with a different pickguard and a custom key)
I wanted to make by this, Gaëtan Nicq La Ferte Saint-Aubin in the Loiret.
