When it rains it pours...

Well lastnight at practice we were short our bass player [Willie] cause he had to work. It sounded really dull and bad. Both Chad [drummer] and I [Reuben] were trying to so hard but we kept screwing up because the bass lines weren't there to lead us in certain parts or distinguish parts that repeat. And I did say when it rains it pours ( Read more... )

Pickup suggestions... elienai March 17 2003, 16:52:02 UTC

Well, I suggest checking out the description of the EMG-95's if you want to stay with active pickups. However if you want to hear a different sound and feel the difference (wich you will feel it) get into passive pickups if your guitar isn't routed out (cut-to-fit) for only EMG's. Here are my suggestions:

MY #1, my favorite of all, the Seymour Duncan SH-5 "Custom" (not SH-11 "Custom-Custom"). They also have a new SH-14 "Custom 5", but it has less output (higher output=heavier distortion). Check the description for the "Custom Custom". I've tried it before. Sounds great and I may get one soon.

My #2 Is the JB. It is a great sounding pickup, but I feel it mushes-up the low-end (bass) a little for less clarity than my "Custom". Clarity is important for note and tone distinction.

Buttens,
ps. i got your message but the deleted yout number, but i hope you have talked to adam about try outs he seems a little like he can not do it, but i think with your skills he will learn and over come.

Hey I called lastnight to ask about that SC-500 that you got. Did you recieve it in excellent condition? Is it amazing? Did it come/ship packed up well? I've never ordered a guitar on-line and I was wondering if all of the quality was there in an on-line order ( ... )
