this was touched on in another thread, but I feel it deserves its own discussion because there are so many tonal options on the pallete of a "jerrycaster"
I am interested in hearing what others do as far as pickup selection.
I think the universal notion is that the "sound" lies in the middle pickup in single coil mode. I tend to agree with that. However, Do you stay in that position for a whole gig? If not, when do you switch (Example what songs makes you switch out of that, and where do you switch to)
Also, does anyone use the pickups in Humbucking mode?
let me give an example there from me. I find that a qtron, or Af-9 or an emma (I have used them all) doesnt really trigger properly in single coil mode.
So when I use the auto filter, I switch to center pickup humbucker for the best and most consistent filter triggering.
What do you do?
Finally, how many have an SDS-1 in the neck position(I do), how many have another super 2 there? And either way, does anyone play in the neck position at all when doing "jerry".
Example, if I switch to the neck pickup (sds-1) and throw the tube screamer on and roll down the tone pot just about to "0" on my guitar, I get that great, smooth "Allman brothers" sound..think Blue sky.... but that is not a jerry tone by any stretch.
Lets hear some detailed explanation of your jerry pickup settings and tone pot settings........
I've got more questions here, but this should start us off............
