Great stuff Fred! Great tone too! Love those pickups!

 

[Fred the Shred]

Cheers, man!

 

[TimSE]

They do, yes.

The vid will be up later today - it's an actual song for the next album, hence having taken a little bit.

Sold!

Looks like I know what my next upgrade is going to be

 

[djpharoah]

Nice clip Fred

DAT CUTT!

 

[JaeSwift]

I mean this in no offence to your other clips, Fred, but your tone here cuts through so much better than in others. Great songwriting as always as well.

 

[Fred the Shred]

I boosted the highs slightly here to see how it would work. Digging it so far! Also, thanks!

 

[lurgar]

So who's going to give me some money for a pickup upgrade?

 

[aaron_rose]

Right on a professional video and sound from this pickup finally! Youtube is full of the tosin phone audio but man that just doesn't do it any justice like this does!

great sounding pups!

 

[Fred the Shred]

Cheers, man. Glad you liked it!

 

[aaron_rose]

Ya love it, thanks fred. I purchased the X bar for my neck and the death bar for my bridge of my fanned fret 7 string, we are aiming to do a dry fit within a few days, so the build is getting close to done. Soo stoked to hear these things in it through my HD500.

Great sounding clip Fred!

And in answer to a previous post, we do have in the works some Lace Sensor single coil sized units in the works..stay tuned...

so after reading I read EMG 707 replacement is the Death Bar or the X bar?

Both are "Bars" which means they are both replacements.

The X-bar is supposedly a milder and cleaner sounding one and the Death bar has more mids and bass making it hotter (this is from my understanding of it).

 

[Lace Music Products]

You're correct djpharoah. In general the X-bar will be a cleaner sounding "full spectrum" pickup with alot of acoustic overtones. The Death bar will have a higher output with a greater mid and bottom end. It's more of a hot humbucker sound with a single coil top end and clarity. Both of the bars though have a splittable secondary that work very well in changing the tone without a volume drop (that's because the primary framework is intact). The 3.5 X and death bar is the same size as a 707, and the 4.0 is the same size as an 808.

I ordered a 3.5 Death Bar straight from the factory, had to send it back with an RA number. The magnets were pushed over to one side so the screw holes were covered. Hope I get it back, I've never had that issue.

 

[Lace Music Products]

Hey Mphsc,
The fixed Alumitone Death bar went out on Friday. Jeff Lace fixed it for you, and ended up rebuilding the assembly fixture for tighter tolerance.The screws fit thru fine now, and we double checked inventory to see if it was repeated elsewhere. Nothing like those darn hand built variences. We're sorry that it wasn't right the first time.

Now that's what I call customer service!

 

[mphsc]

I got a phone call on my way out of town from Jeff as well, I was speechless to say the least about the customer service. Thank You LACE.

On another note, TK, (Tom Kekler) at St. Blues in Memphis, the tech of preference, had nothing but good things to say about the LACE fellas.
