Marilyn 1 #70-280220
Like its namesake this is pretty hot little number. The Barden bridge pickup is like a flamethrower. It has a wide tonal response with loads of bite at the top and plenty of mid and low end punch. The neck pickup is a Tonerider Hot Classic and is warm and full with an airy quality. String definition is remarkable on both pickups. The middle selector switch position has both pickups running in parralel and has a beautiful sparkling tone with a full low end. The dual tone controls allow independant tone shaping of each pickup.
