Jerry Wallace Pickup Evaluation
Posted: 2 Aug 2002 9:49 am
I had Jerry put one of his single coil TrueTone pickups in a Sierra slide-in module for my 12 string and I couldn't be more pleased.I recieved it yesterday,slapped it in and used it last night on stage at an outdoor gig - WOW! Since day one,I've used a Dan Shields CT-1 humbucker on my Sierra and you couldn't ask for a better sound.But I wanted a single coil as an alternative voice - especially for the West Coast Mooney/Brumley stuff I like to play so I called Jerry.His pickup is at least as hi-fi as the CT-1 but w/a voice all it's own - more balance,string seperation and is crisper on the low strings w/out the high strings sounding shrill - just sweet and fat w/zero percievable single coil hum.I haven't had this much zing and punch sinch I sold my ZB. I like it! BTW,I'm told there will be a couple of these pickups(10&12 string)in Sierra modules in the Sierra room at the convention for perusal and scrutiny. -MJ-
