    Question: is there a particular set of pickups that gets pretty close to Bruce’s sound? Thanks!

    • @BruceGuitar
      @BruceGuitar  3 года назад +2

      Hi blakesterBCS! Thanks for tuning into the channel. Funnily enough I ordered a set of Joe Barden Gatton T-Style pickups that I think Bruce uses. Haven’t installed them yet but looking forward to using them! At the moment I just play around with plug-ins in Logic Pro x. A nice valve fender amp would help as well.
