The Pickup Place / Long Shot...Utopia vs Transition Set?

« on: April 04, 2021, 04:30:52 PM »

Just curious, has anyone had a chance to play both the Transition set and the Utopia set?

I'm contemplating ordering a Transition bridge and pairing it with a Utopia neck now that the Utopias are available at retail without the covers, but I'm really curious how these sets compare, especially the bridge pickups?

Just tossed $20 your way.  I appreciate you keeping it going!

It doesn't see as much use as it should, but it's an incredible resource that I think too many people take for granted!

Fellow SDUGF member here, also.  Bet you don't know who!

Seriously, though...what the heck did I miss on SDUGF?  When you say the "b" word, just how b'd are we talkin'?  Like perma?

Thanks for the responses so far!

Would you say one has more output and "sizzle" than the other?  As in, would either the VHPAF or the 36th be better at those "sweet, but rude" ZZ Top (i.e. Duncan Pearly Gates) type tones? 

Have either of you played a Duncan '78, by chance?

The Pickup Place / Old timers...Virtual Hot PAF vs 36th bridge?

I know the VHPAF isn't a pickup that gets brought up often these days, but does anyone here have hands-on experience comparing the old DP214 Virtual Hot PAF with the DP223 36th Anniversary PAF bridge?
