Thanks vwall, this place looks alittle slow whats the story?
On another note what would be some good replacement pups for my GAX.
Thanks Keith

Slow isnt the half of it..
More like dead-
I just mod this place.... have been for years.
I dont think the owners spend alot on advertising it.
its been dead for most of its life....

Replacement pups can be anything you want-
I prefer Dimarzios..

GAX 70, if it's like a Les Paul you can try Seymour Duncans. They sound pretty good. If the guitar was more like an RG, then I'd go for Dimarzio.

Thanks to both of the replys, I lowerd the bridge pickup and it sounds alittle better, the neck pickup sounds muddy, Im saving some money for a cube 60 and see how that sounds, then look for some pups.
Keith.

hope this place picks up Very Happy

Or you could have the treble side of the neck pup closer to the strings than the bass side. That should brighten things up. Better to tweak than to spend right?
