What type pick ups should i get for my strat?
ok so i mainly use a fender highway one usa strat for gigs and i generally use different amps for each of the bands im in, the amps are Vox Ac 30 reissue with neo dog speaker and the other one is a peaey duel 2×12 classic valve series, im looking for a fat raw sound, i do use heavy gauge strings and generally tune to Eflat or D, any ideas what i shud choose, iv tried texas specials, bare knucles, seymour duncan sssl-5 vintage staggered, are there any that im missin that giv a real raw blues sound?

The Van Zandt blues strat pickup set is quite good, as are Rio Grande Muy Grande strat set. I have used both and got great results. A little hotter and in your face that your standard strat set.
Right now, I have a custom Bill Lawrence setup in my strat — humbucker, single coil, soap bar — and it does what I want and need. Though I am pretty much a tele guy and all my guitars are custom made for me. Been playing a long time — usually blues/soul/R&B — so I need a variety of tones.

VOX AC15 OR AC30 to recreate the Shadows 60′s sound?
I play mainly shadows tunes on my Fender 57 reissue stratocastor.I currently have a Vox AD50VT but i am thinking of changing it to a valve amp to get closer to the real sound(60′s).I am torn between the two Vox amps.I am using a boss CS3 compressor/sustainer +Gemini 111(shadows guitar effect) + Yamaha Magic Stomp(with authentic Shadows echo patches).Please can anyone help me?

The Shads actually used AC30′s so..to be authentic…..GO GET ONE!! Haha
Apart from the WEM copycat, the prince of echo units was the Binson Echorec (cost about £150 even in 1965). I once had a Burns Marvin (ooh). Bruce played a Tele early on (very solid player).
My elder brother was Shadows mad so I was brought up on them until The Beatles.
Ps You are in a band arent you!!!
