kidsmoke Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Back on the topic of the Pignose Amps....Nice tone from Mr. Zappa. UFO fans may know this but on their Album, Lights Out, what many consider their best, Michael Schenker recorded it on a Pignose. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a1F8T5kzxM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James535 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I had one of those little pignose amps. My dad bought it me when I was six and I still have it. Awesome looking and sounding thing! Loved the single pot, with the pignose shaped knob. Especially when I was six! FZ getting some great tones from it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koula901 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I wish I hadn't seen this. Now I need an SG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsmoke Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I wish I hadn't seen this. Now I need an SG! Well you almost have one. In my opinion, from a physics standpoint, a 137 with humbuckers is pretty much an SG. Thinner mahogany body, mahogany neck and rosewood board, 24.5 scale. Also, I've seen USA fadeds on CL for 400.00 all the time. definitely dig the attitude of the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost, except my 137 has P90s. As for CL - you probably don't see them in Lefty for $400.00. What I've seen in lefty, and used, is usually around $700 (in stores).

And yeah, I DID forget, you're right minded, for which you perpetually pay a surcharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I did think about putting buckers into the 137 but there's no easy way to do it. Besides, I would miss the P90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretless Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I put a SD custom shop bucker in mine but I love the neck P90 , infact it may be my all time favorite combo so I've learned a few things since the OP , Frank has a 20 dB booster built into his axe , so some type of boost pedal perhaps would get you closer to that with your pig .It's also been widely reported that the old pigs are better , pre made in China .

kidsmoke Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 as we veer with reckless abandon....would you correlate the sounds you get with the bridge bucker to classic SG tones? I've often wondered this about the 137 platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
