I assumed the Degenerate pups were dual coil dual rails. As opposed to poles and rails. Just put a set of Bart dual coil dual rails in my FrankenGoth. They sound very good. If I had seen these first I would have gone with them. Oh well, there’s always another build on the horizon.

Chuck might like the split coil feature. In split mode on the bridge pickup you only get one blade (closest to the bridge) for some nice Jazz type honk, burb and quack. Drop it into humbucker mode and it’s a squeaky clean Tbird pickup, or boost the bass by 15db and blow the cones off the speakers. I put tapes on it so it’s even more unique sounding. I’m counting on Chuck to slap the snot out of it at the GTG.

I doubt the Degenerate pickups are built like P-rails. The idea of a bucker made using two different or unbalanced halves is the same and intriguing. It may work or it may not. I thought bowing the upright through a Morley oil can delay would sound good. It sounded absolutely awful. Some experiments work, some don't. The amount of imbalance between the two sides might be one of those voodoo things that take a while to sort.

Didn’t sound overly clacky, but definitely not as much zing as a metal string either. Not sure how it would sound in a mix with slapped tapes. Looking forward to seeing you give it a spin.

agree with you, unless overly produced (what would be the point) doesn’t have enough cut to punch through in a mix….

Now that actually sucks - I really like Anchor - he oldest "craft" beer in America.... it was my 'house beer' for years. :rollno: The label change had little to do with it - I personally liked the new image. What the Japanese company Sapporo and the rise of the trend of "craft beers" did to the brand otherwise had more to do with its demise.

I had a brit for a boss in the early 80s. He’d fly in from Chicago and get half way across the San Mateo bridge and say “I’m thirsty.” We always had to stop at a bar in San Leandro that had Anchor Steam on tap. The waitress knew us and would announce “here come the guys that want warm beer.” All we really asked was put the cold beer in a room temperature glass, not that frozen mug.

Well... caulk it up for another example of "enjoy what you have while you have it"...
