I am tempted to put it back on the RG550LTD bridge position. Currently there is a Dimarzio Bluesbucker. The Aldrich doesn't have the rich nuances of the Bluesbucker with clean and edge-of-breakup tones, but, but... The Aldrich was so fun... Tough decision!
Anyone else using the Aldrich pup?
Maybe the latest Fractal FW will squeeze more juice from the Aldrich clean and EOB tones. Specially the Wrecker Liverpool
I LOVE it.
Definitely not a pickup for nuances, IMO, that thing is balls out “I’m here to kick ass”, but what you lose in delicate timbres you gain in pitch harmonics jumping off the neck all over the place and all the balance one could want in a high output pickup.

Oh man! So much the same.
I ended up having way more fun once I ditched my pre-determined sensibilities
about what I should like, and who I should play with, and how judgey I should or
should not be about making music.
Made a lot of new friends and met some cool people, too. Also helped me realize
my own ego has not always been my best friend in life, if you know what I mean.
Leaving that fucker at home = way more fun!

I've always wanted to try P90s in a strat. Is that a deluxe players strat?

Yes. I got it used at GC for like $379 so I don’t mind routing the body for pickups. It’s a really good guitar. It’s very heavy. Like 10 lbs.

Lol I was about to post this pic in the thread when I noticed yours.
This started off as a deluxe players strat that I got used from GC too. The body is the only original part left though. It's got a really nice grain pattern but not quite as heavy as yours, it's just under 8lbs.
I gave mine a bit of tlc tonight, polished the frets, fixed a noisy pot and I'm trying out 10.5s instead of the 11s I normally use. It feels like it has a bit more tension than my tele does with 11s, so I'm going to see if the 10.5s even the two guitars out. So far so good.

Mini rehearsal with my favorite partscaster and Nord keys.

I miss the Nord flavor. On my past life with MIDI guitar I had the Nord Modular G2 Engine rack, triggered with the Axon AX-100 MK II. I used it live. It was so powerful and juicy!
I've been trying to find a picture of the Nord on an old backup, and I have found pics of gear that I completely forgot that I have owned. I am afraid that I had certified madness. That was before I got married
Some Synths that I have owned for the MIDI guitar:
- Roland Fantom XR
- Emu Orbit
- Yamaha MU100R
- Kurzweill K2000R
- Muse receptor (a PC embedded in a rack, to host VSTi)
On the floor I had the VG8
