Who has experience with Dirty Heshers/other Lace sensors?

[pelliott]

So rather than buy a new guitar I've decided to trick out my Artist reissue. I'm gonna take it to a good guitar tech and get it set up for C standard and replace the pickups/electronics.

I've been eyeing the Dirty Heshers for a while and can't recall who here has used them, or if anyone has experience with some of the other Lace sensors/signature models? And if so, what do you recommend for electronics to go with them?

Total opposite of where you're headed, but I would be lost without my Gold Lace Sensors in my Strat. Warmer than vintage Strat tones with a little extra midrange push, no noise, and can handle high gain just fine. Yes, thank you.

one of my dads strats had laces in it. IIRC a red label a blue and a gold?

that strats the best sounding strat ive ever heard.

ive played some lace. . . fuck. . . what were they. . . . nitro hemis? they were pretty goddamn bright. but the articulation CLEAR as day, much better then just boosting the treble. I didn't get to fuck with the EQ but I bet a twist on that treble knob would've made it not so damn bright.

from what i understand, the dirty heshers are based on the nitro hemis (with debate on whether they're just relabeled).

Wellllllll, MF is doing 15% off right now and so I went ahead and ordered a set of Heshers for $123.

[whiskey_face]

mother fuck. good deal

[pelliott]

Yeah. Happy Holidays to me. Excited to try them. They're on backorder soooo the waiting game begins

[samzadgan]

nice one pelloit...

i thought heshers were Matt Pike's signatures right? I seem to remember that Mastadon folk used Nitro Hemi's for ages before they got their sig models. I would say Heshers sound (from the clips) similar but fuller version of the Nitro Hemi's...i'm going by Youtube, which is shit for working out differences between pickups!

[pelliott]

Yep they sure are Pike's signatures.

can you send me a link them at 123? they are tryin to get me for 145

[pelliott]

Use the coupon code "stnick" at checkout. Like I mentioned, too, they're backordered currently so hopefully they'll ship out SOON

Interested to hear your thoughts once they arrive.

What about the Artist weren't you digging? One popped up on clist that I kinda want to see if dude would trade for my tele.

[pelliott]

Very little about it I don't dig, it's a fantastic guitar. The pickups are a little low output for me and I want to change those out for something a lil more ballsy, and get an honest to god setup done on it. Still such a good guitar for the money.

[t-rey]

Right on man. I may email that dude after the holidays and see if he wants to trade.

And I also need you to go ahead and give me your updated thoughts on the Arrows
