1986' Fender MIJ Contemporary Strat. SOLD!

The Fender Contemporary models were the first Fender Japan models to be named Fender Stratocasters or Telecasters. The previous Fender Japan models were all Fender Squier models. The Fender Contemporary models were manufactured from 1984 to 1987 by FujiGen Gakki and these Stratocasters were designed to be Superstrats (Super Strat) with a Floyd Rose like bridge designed by Schaller (and Gotoh) and humbucking pickups. There was a lower priced Fender Contemporary Squier model produced as well. The Fender Contemporary Stratocaster and Telecaster models were part of the Fender Japan E series model range.

This particular one is Model 27-4300: 3 single coil pickups, 5 position selector switch, 1 volume, 2 tones, System I tremolo, rosewood fingerboard, 25.5" scale length, top mounted output jack.

However, I've had it's pickups all upgraded to Custom Shop 69. These really made the Strat sing.
It's 20 years old and all the plastic parts has already aged. The neck and tone feels like a 62'. Give it a try before deciding.

Gibson LP Custom pickups! 496R and 500T! TBA!

Pickups used on Gibson Les Paul customs.

496R
This pickup is the acoustic equivalent of Hershey's Dark Chocolate! Less bell-like chime than an alnico magnet, but oh so smooth, rich, full, and somewhat dark sounding. I don't use neck pickups much with distortion, but almost always when going with a clean signal. When plugged straight into my Orange - it sounds like angry sex! With the 496R and BBQ working together in humbucker mode you get some fearsome thick tones. I don't honestly think that there's a better, more versatile pickup combo out there for blues and rock.

500T

Output level?Testosterone! Full of balls. Yet surprisingly clear and clean at lower volume settings.Very impressive range, rolling off the volume gives very clear articulation - far more than I expected - yet there is tremendous output once you start turning the volume knob up. Very responsive to pickup height adjustment. In my opinion, that's the key to getting the clarity.
But I have to admit being pleasantly surprised at how truly diverse they have proven to be. With the volume down, I get a very bright, exceptionally clean sound that lets me play lots of melodic material that I never dreamed I'd wind up using this pick-up combination for.

Subdecay Blackstar. SOLD!

---> Click here for demo <---

The Blackstar is rather slim in built (trimmed width compared to the average BOSS unit), what overpowers it visually is the quartet of knobs on board for drive, volume & tone controls. The pedal works on a cascading gain concept hence the twin drive controls but the lower drive knob has a particular inclination to the bass frequency. The purpose here is to give the player a pre-gain bass tweaking, effectively, the contouring of the guitar’s tone takes place before the signals are distorted. This allows for definition & clarity to cut through because if you are familiar with post-gain frequency tweaking in majority of other distortion pedals, any enhancements of the bass, induces ill-definition instead.

In use, the Blackstar is a distortion pedal, intense drive-type output is available. As a stand-alone unit, it gives the guitar a very transparent tone in addition to the distortion on offer. Tweak both drive controls to suit the level of induced harmonics you wish to acquire in addition to making your overall tone suits the amp you are using. Interestingly, the dual drive module featured here allows for quite an expansive array of voicing, from polite, jazzy, polished midrange to fat, fuzz-like bottom end.

The fun doesn’t end there; couple the Blackstar with another drive-type pedal to boost proceedings & you’ll hear what this pedal can really do. In conjunction with an already driven amp, the Blackstar is a very capable booster, offering more drive than the average Tubescreamer, with a healthy dose of clarity to boot.

Modded Boss DS-1! SOLD!

DS-1 Taiwan not so good right? DS-1 Japan Silver screw very expensive right? Original Keeley mod hard to get here right? So how? This one, White LED, Eye Seeing and Ultra mod. Yours only for Rm 250. Condition dead mint.

Banzai Fireball 3! SOLD!

What pedal offers Overdrive, Boost, and Compressor in one? Better yet, what BOUTIQUE pedal offers that? The Overdrive is so smooth and raw sounding. It can go from the vintage SRV to the more modern tone. There is 3 Compression levels in this pedal, Max, Medium, and Mininum. I never left it at Mininum because its TOO LOUD. The Boost is for you to Boost your tone when u're going for a lead/solo. Be very careful with the Boost knob, it gets really really loud and ballsy. If you're thinking to DOWNSIZE the QUANTITY but UPGRADE on the QUALITY this is the best bet. This is the 147th unit made and it's in pristine condition. Brand new is 229$ Euro. Thats excluding tax and shipping.

MI Audio Tubezone! SOLD!

Noah's Ark "Blue" Chorus. SOLD!

First time in my life, I've come across a chorus pedal that can beat the CE-2. But wait, what makes it different?

-Boss is NOT handmade, NOT boutique, NOT true bypass, and it SUCKS TONE.

BUT

-Noah's Ark "Blue" IS handmade, IS boutique, IS true bypass, BUT it doesn't suck tone.

Besides, you're paying for a hefty amount for a MINT condition CE-2 say Rm 600?
I never really loved chorus but I'll be fair anyway (or try, at least). It did sound lush and very natural. There is no noise at all! This thing is capable of from the slightest to the thickest fullest chorus effect you can ever get. Words can't describe it. Test one today.

Some insights of Caparison pickups:-
-They are not made to be sell.
-They are only found on Caparison guitars.

I guess I don't need to tell more. Those who know what is Caparison knows the worth of it.

PH-R.
high power well balanced from high range to low, fulfilled with harmonics for both pick up ring mount and direct mount, in direct mount emphasized lower range. High output pickup with exceptional harmonics. These pickups can be either direct mounted or mounted in pickup rings.If the pickup is direct mounted, low-mids will be emphasized giving you more growl and chunk.

The PH-R is by far one of the best pickups around bar none. Tonally it is similar to the Seymour Duncan JB model, DiMarzio Norton and a little bit like an EMG. Think of it as a Duncan JB without the honkiness or a DiMarzio Norton with slightly more output and more of a mid range spike.

BH-R.
Vintage class output, well balanced sounds from high range to low. Oh yeah, these are not even made anymore.
