Tim's little brother
1 of 1 found this helpful I have an early breadboard Tim I've been using since 2004. I never used the boost so the larger Hammond box was wasted space. Finally broke down and picked up a Timmy. I still had a spare Burr Brown OPA2134 opamp, which sounds great in my Tim, so I swapped it out and this pedal sounds pretty close! Love it in front of my 50 watt Marshalls!

Nice guitar after a little work
Pickups had to go. Not sure what they are but they are kinda harsh...ceramic? Anyway, I put in a set of Fralin Blues Special singles and a hot humbucker....so much better. The pickguard is poorly fit at the bridge no screw hole on the lower side despite there being one drilled in the wood. I have a feeling they just modified a standard guard...but not well...it actually inhibits the bridge a little (although the bridge did hold tune). So that had to be filed a bit. The Ping (FR licensed) bridge was decent enough but I had a real Floyd so I swapped it. Had to remove the posts and bushings and replace with Floyd ones...the Ping posts are a little sketchy in design IMHO. Frets have a little wear so I had a tech level them--actually flattened the radius just a bit below the 12th fret. 9.5 radius worked ok but it did fret out a little with bends, especially from 14 on. Shaping up to be a good gig guitar...one I won't worry about much.
Seymour Duncan BG1400 Lead Stack Telecaster Bridge Position Pickup

The search is over!!!
I wanted a Tele bridge sized pickup that would push the front end of my amp like a humbucker but sound like a single coil. Seemingly all of the pick ups in this range are overwhelmed with ceramic magnet, and they all just have a weird sound quality to them. The BG 1400 was almost twice the price of the others I tried, but it perfectly fit my needs. It’s an extremely overwound stack—so overwound it wouldn’t fit through the opening in my Gotoh Am Std style bridge. I used a dremel with a grinder bit to open it up a little—not major surgery but something you should know. I guess it would fit in ashtray without modification, since that’s the bridge Billy uses. At any rate I was kind of annoyed for a minute that nobody had brought that up, but in retrospect I’m glad they didn’t because I would not have bought the pickup. As far as installation goes, I used a 500k pot and for switching I used a five way superswitch so that I could get three sounds out of this bridge pickup: position one is the standard series humbucker wiring and while it is dark like a humbucker (compared to a std Tele) the fact that it is a single row of pole magnets does cause it to sound a little like a single coil, maybe more of a P90, especially on the wound strings. In terms of gain, it is very similar to my overwound humbuckers in other guitars. Position two is series but not hum canceling and the result is a two or three dB boost with the trade off that it’s not humbucking. I think this position will be cool for slide playing. Position three is tapped—just the top coil by itself, and it sounds like you would expect an overwound single coil to sound although it is quite bright, and as loud as the series humbucker. Positions four and five are normal—bridge + neck and neck by itself. These sound kinda weak because the neck pick up does not keep up with the BG 1400, so that’s probably another experiment that’s getting ready to happen! At any rate, in the end this pick up has its own sound—the descriptions from Seymour Duncan are pretty accurate. It’s loud and raw sounding in a good way. While the series humbucking position sounds awesome and will probably be what I use most of the time, I do recommend one or both of the other sounds. In particular I really like the tapped sound, as it is somewhat reminiscent of how a Tele should sound. Moreover there are other things I didn’t try, like parallel humbucking. This is definitely not a pick up for Tele purists, but if you want a Tele that you can swap with a Les Paul without having to make adjustments to your rig, this pick up is for you, and again the versatility is a bonus.
