out of stock now i think

lol
biggie slash fan eh?
same here
u shud have bought a plain top cherry sunburst standard
rather than a custom

lol

hahaha
active wh0r3s!
passive ftw!!!
haha =p

81's i think would be ok for the bridge
since its very bright

but actives ain't my taste
hehe

right on
i'll get myself a cheery plaintop gibby one day
btw
cud u pm me the details of purchasing the epi custom from ishibashi
the price for the axe, insurance and the hardcase

thx bro =]

how bout trying a duncan custom custom ?

btw any good places to solder pickups?

mail dimarzio and tell them bout our distributor

aihz bkp pickups are really cool
but they're also really expensive ><ll

love the warpigs with the distressed cover!

500 for one

installation for pickup is 50 at bents per pickup
as for the price of the pickup itself i have no idea
maybe other forummers can point you in the right direction. =)
good luck my friend

what i hear from EMG cleans is that they kinda lack warmth and sound sterile
but with loads of gain, be prepared to get smacked in your face with sound lol

keep off EMG81 on the bridge if you're using alder body or bright sounding woods

from my experience, the EMG81 on a kelly sounded horrible, shrilly and err fuzzy.
i can't say the same if its in a warm sounding guitar tho

but well, i'm not a fan of active pickups so, maybe im a little biased =p

yeah
that might be the case

SRV used EMG's???? o.O

i think its wat kind of sound you're looking for is the question they are trying to ask you =p

BKP Warpigs


well maybe =p

heard the invaders are muddy tho

i have a JB/59 combo
i'd to say that the 59 is not the most spectacular neck pickup around, tho it hits the oldie PAF tones pretty well =) perfect for blues but not much of other stuff i'd say, not so suitable IMO.
JB wise in the bridge, sounds very good. The strong mids on the lp mixes very well with the slightly scooped low-mid freq of the JB.

custom5, i haven't tried that b4, so i can't say.

all i can add is if you play classic rock or blues, the 59 is really really nice, but if you want an all rounder i think the jazz would do a better job.
but then again, i only tried the jazz in alder bodied guitar, so i might change my mind if i hear a jazz in a paul.

hope that info from a not so experienced person can help cheers

yeah, note that JB isn't the hottest around.
but its just nice for me =D

Yeah man, I like how the JB sounds. But itching to get a new ax to have sonic variations. Looking for some alder bodied guitar. YUM
Anyway, have you tried Dimarzio Super Distortion in an alder bodied guitar? How does it sound?

thing is im no big fan of basswood, its a neutral sounding wood to me =/
i want something brighter like alder.

On the contrary with the name. Humbucker from hell is actually a medium output pickup. If I'm not mistaken that is.
If output is what you want, the Dimarzio X2N has plenty of it.

EMGs never come with good clean sounds other than the SA
Passives ftw XD

Fixed for greater truth.
