A recorded rehearsal with my band from earlier this year. A rough recording, even more roughly mastered in GarageBand (I don't know what I'm doing really).
I had one for a good while, the preamp side was very good.
Me neither.
I now have a Tech21 VTDI, really nice preamp (lovely mid control), with a very satisfying range of grinds that you can blend in as much, or as little, as you want.
The very reason I use an MXR87, just helps the bass sit better in the mix, rather like when using a compressor during recording/mixing.

Try enlarging the pickguard hole a little, I find nail files are good for this. Of course it could be the foam has perished a bit. Best way to check is to for the old pg again and see if the fault remains.

Courtesy of the skip function on the Planet Rock app, Status Quo is no longer played at chez Ez. Iron Maiden have also joined the ‘skip squad’ recently and I feel Queen will join them.
