For that price, I'm sure it blows the LTD version of Alexi's guitar......

how r u gonna play tat guitar if u sold ur arm?

iirc, alexi never used a hz in his guitar, he swapped them out for an EMG81 after he got it


if you sell your arm to get the guitar, how are you gonna play it LOL

Alexi always used a Hz because he hated changing batteries..... I read an interview with him somewhere...... that is until he tried the Blackouts......

So yeah, if you want an Alexi guitar, you gotta get Blackouts.

Yeah, he used HZs when he switched to ESP before changing to Blackouts. But with Jackson, he used the Jackson J-50BC pickups, a real rarity nowadays.

i had a j95 in my jackson awhile back

all i can say, its really made for metal

riffing is crazily heavy sounding, tight and bassy

leads not so good, it gets a bit muddy and the harmonics a little poorer than the JB

still getting used to .09s tho, i find them too light =/
floating bridge guitars quite a b**ch to handle
can't take too high string gauge la... change string takes awhile, change tuning oso cumbersome =/

I wonder how the j50 would sound like =p

well, even if you got to change the pickup after buying it, that's not too expensive : there's just one pickup to change !

that's really an "extreme" guitar, that will work only in metal tones, or so it seems. you must really know what you want before getting such a guitar.

Haha, yeah i know Pix. I just want a solid metal axe, thats why i'm getting that. Don't think i'll feel like playing the blues or funk when i'm holding that in my hands.

your neighbours might feel kind of bluesy when you're holding that axe in your hands

Haha, got to start soundproofing my room then i guess.

I actually play Santana stuff on my RR3.....
The RR is actually very versatile.
But in your case, yes..... it's a shredding machine.

But here's an example...

I recorded this using my RR3 and a Line6 UX2 with an Orange Amp setting and a little reverb.

Not bad, wouldt have guessed it was a RR3 based on the recording. But yea, the JB/Jazz combo on your RR3 is quite versatile. Cant say the same about EMGs though. And my stock RG pickups give out quite a nice blues tone too, surprisingly.

i was about to ask on that actually. u posted it on recording thread before, the one u recorded when balik kampung rite? haha. sorry off topic a bit but may i know how do you produce the drums on that? if its a long explanation then maybe we should discuss on that thread instead.

I second that. Stock pickups sound good too through the right amps. I believe that 90% of the tone comes from the stuff you play thru and rarely the pickups. I can even get PG tones from my Powersounds thru NI guitar rig...makes me wanna diss my multifx already hahah

So, TS don't worry much on the pickups..

^ Really nice tone you got there dude.

Btw, we're ALL going way off topic. Maybe i should rename this thread to "Pickups and Recordings 101" or something along that line.

Thanx dude. And if you have Guitar Rig 3, I can send you the patch. Sharing is caring

Ok, back to topic.. I guess you already have a rough idea on what you want based on the comments so far.. happy shredding

oi fatboythin nao getting jackson stars la pulak
what happen to the RR24?? or is it the same model??
so what did u do to ur RR3? any upgrading or such?
thinking of getting it since havin tight budget n still learning

Haha, hard to explain here dude. I'll explain when i get back to uni.
