Indianrock2020 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Seems like I use the Spank 2 or 4 model in my JTV 90% of the time and I've noticed that above the 12th fret, it can be kind of weak -- lower volume. I'm wondering if I need to mix in some magnetic pickup with these models. Or perhaps it's an issue with piezo pickups in general. The patch seemed pretty robust at lower frets ( HD500x vox/marshall amp patch with overdrive and/or tube drive in front of the dual amps ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 You've just described every Strat-style guitar with a bolt-on neck in the universe. They all tend to start sounding a little thin the higher you go on the fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indianrock2020 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Just seemed more noticeable on the JTV than my 74 strat. Anyway I guess I'll have to have the overdrive effect do more boosting when playing lead lines that high, or put the volume pedal into play.
