Thanks to Wayne, Brad and bluesdon for your input, but I have to throw the wrench into the gears now. I owned Seths for around 2 years in my Les Payl, and they did what they do very well. You're about the clean sounds being good. However, the lack of potting and low power don't cut it for the rock tones I'm referring to. I know, I should have specified. But I want to know about those real heavier sock 'buckers like the JB, Lawrence XL-500, etc. My Rio Grande's are quite toneful for clean, and drive right up to the door of heavy metal, but that's as close as I've seen for versatile!
