Title: Which pickup selection did MK use on Tunnel Of Love
Post by: benlitmaath on July 05, 2021, 01:53:07 PM

Hello all, i'm new to the forum so excuse me if this is the wrong place to ask this question.

I really want to know which pickup configuration Mark used on for the solo of "Tunnel of Love" at Wembley in '85.
He used the sunburst Schecter Dream Machine.

My guess is he used middle and bridge pickup. Middle on full coil (powerful) and bridge on normal coil (vintage sound / less powerful)

Every time the camera almost shows his pickup switches the video turns to a different camera angle lol

Here's the link to the video. Solo starts at 10:10

I'm just curious as to which selection he uses. I'm pretty sure he uses fat middle and normal bridge on TOL on the Old Grey Whistle Test.

+ i may be getting a Schecter copy built with F500T pickups (same as the sunburst Schecter) and then i can use the same pickup configuration as Mark did in this video because this is my favorite TOL version

I'd rather think he used fat bridge plus normal middle, but I'm just guessing really.
