When I read the email from Stick Enterprises, I knew Cambria didn't read this forum or read the comments on YouTube (i.e. she would have known I have already seen the video). ![]() At some point, I may try to make an adapter to mount a Stickup in a Block channel. The PASV-4 is a great modern pickup, but there will always be good reasons for having the option of lower output pickups. |

I've been thinking about an adapter plate, too. My Stickup Stick has fret rods, and my other Stick has fret rails and an X fret. The fret rods are very nive and smooth for 'acoustic stule' playing, whereas the rails are great for wilder electric stule playing. Would be cool to be able to use the Stickup in combination with the rails ![]() Jaap |

And that cheap Boss Metal Zone has indeed an incredible sound, I'll pick one up soon ![]() I really like the ACTV-2 as well. It's basic sound is so warm and fluid. If I could have all three pickups on the instrument at one time, I would for sure. Listining to Bob Culbertson and Kevin Keith is all you need to do to get a sense of it. It's very "unifying" kevin-c wrote: sheesh....that stickup sounds nifty! nice vid Greg, thanks for posting. cheers, kev This is less critical with the PASV-4 and not at all critical with the ACTV-2, which sounds the same no matter what you plug it into. As a listener on videos and recorsings, too often I hear the direct Stickup with a bad eq setting, which can make it pretty brittle pretty fast. So think about the basic sound you're looking for and do what you can to get it as "close to the pickup" as possible.

Greg Thanks so much for the video - Your explanation of the knobs for the PASV-4 was very helpful. The tone and pickup selector knobs have been a mystery to me so far - not any more. Has anyone made side pictures of the PASV-4 showing the positions numbered and their functions? Cliff |
