Sound samples for Entwistle DarkStar Neck

Finally I've got around to do some recording for the Entwistle Dark Star pickup. Did I mention to anyone I have a really Awesome (sic) phone? I've just found out that, instead of trying to hunt for a condenser mic to do sound recordings, out of curiosity, I tried the voice recorder app that came with my phone and recorded some sound samples and to my astonishment, the quality is pretty good. Well, not studio quality but it's good enough that you can tell a difference in terms of tone.

The sound sample was obtained with my Frankenstein through a Monte Allum modded DS-1 with my Blackheart Killer Ant amp head. Tone was set to 9 o'clock, Level was set to 2 o'clock and gain was maxed out.

Enwistle Darkstar Pickups Equipped!

My Frankenstein is now Entwistle Dark Star equipped. Hadn't had the time to extensively test it. It has been a really busy day. First thoughts on the pickups is, it's closer to my Seymour Duncan in terms of tone instead of Dimarzio Evolutions. Nonetheless, the output is way higher compared to Seymour Duncan Jazz and Customs. My new Amp head was already breaking up pass 9 o'clock. The tone is smooth and sweet, closer to mid range which is perfect for solos. Watch out for more indepth reviews!

Something came in the mail today!

Something came in the mail today. This is part of my quest looking for cheaper and good pickups alternative. I've yet to test them though. Will probably do so after I finish testing my loot from yesterday (Blackheart Killer Ant).
