I am buying a Barrington soprano saxophone, which is Chinese made and really cheap. I have been playing a Vito tenor saxophone for the past 9 years, with a C* classical mouthpiece. Its a fun setup.

I have a question for any guitar experimentors or scholars out there..have you ever heard of using all humbucker type coils on a strat as opposed to the single?? Or can you even do that?

Howard the Duck

i mix humbuckers with single coil - i have an Ibanez RG-7

i used to have two single-coils but it sounds too squealy and I hate that microphoney hum/feedback

i use a British Metal Master distortion pedal with the bass all the way up through a cheap china-made Epiphone amp with full overdrive and it sounds a bit like a Big Muff

I also have a DOD wah-wah, not exactly a Dunlop but its shorter range makes it easier for me to make regular wahs to the beat for those 70s sounding funk

i also use a slide i cut from a clothes-hanging stand (it's an aluminium tube)

I use a coral reef pick i fashioned myself - it just sounds very harsh on the attack

Bloozcrooz

so you have the standard humbucker along with 2 single coils?...nice innovation with the slide by the way

Howard the Duck

nah 2 humbuckers with 1 single-coil

Bloozcrooz

Does that pretty much cut out all the interference that contributes to the buzzing you tend to get out of the single coils?

Howard the Duck

yeah, and I still get the bluesy tone I like by just using the single coil

and all three in unison gives a great metallic tone

and the first humbucker is very funky

which is great since I play multiple genres

Bloozcrooz

nice

i love fat strat set ups!

I was wanting to get a Fender Strat SRV edition....they are insanely over priced though god.
