The SSS is the Vertex Steel Stringer? I have that right after the Vertex boost. Don't use it that often ... together, these pedals get what I consider to be a rather octal amp sound through the solid...
Hey, hoho, some interesting moments there! By the way, what is 'potato swing'?
I love the tone of the KA PAF in my Victor Baker (a lam-top 17" model) and my old Borys B120 had one too, perfect for that type of guitar/sound. You can't go wrong with that pickup but of course,...
Yeah, that's ts-pedals for you. Made to cut through in a loud band setting, maybe not so much for pure jazz. Great for blues though. I also like Vertex stuff! Never had the boost, but I really like...
I think Stringswinger's recommendations are great. I'd add checking out something like the Lollar Imperial or SD '59. My Eastman had the 59s, and they sounded great.

The closest I've ever come to the Dead is dining at Phil Lesh's Terrapin Crossroads restaurant in San Rafael, CA while Phil Lesh and Friends performed on the bandstand. :smile-new:
Too bad, that's a great price. Nice easy deal for someone in the area.
Was it made by Gibson? There have been repros made by others for sure.
Warmth and detail is exactly what I want!! For reference I love Peter Bernstein's tone. I had not thought of 57 classics for this one. I have them in my 335 and do like them a lot in that
I think a Kent Armstrong PAF (the handmade one by Kent himself) will get you the tone you are after. Warmth with detail. Some call that pickup the gold standard for jazz guitar amplification. I...
Newer McCarty pickup assemblies?
