I purchased these pickups via the Axe Palace to place into my Schecter KM-7 MK1 (swamp ash body, maple neck, ebony fretboard, Hipshot bridge). My primary reasons on settling on these were feeling as though they could make this sometimes overly bright and thin guitar sound thicker in the lows and...

I was curious if anyone here has tried the BKP Polymath set and what your thoughts are if so? I’ve had one of the original 200 SD Custom Shop Alpha/Omega sets in my main guitar for some time, but lately I’ve been feeling like I want something that’s a little more mid-forward, sweeter on the top...

A few years back, I converted my 6-string to a 500K single-volume setup to match my 7-string (both guitars have the same pickups and the 7-string came stock with only a single volume pot). I never used the tone knob on it and felt the extra high end I'd get from pulling the tone knob out of the...

Hi all, I've been interested in changing the stock push-pukk pots on both of my guitars with 500k Bourns push-pulls. I found this listing on Allparts https://www.allparts.com/EP-5286-000-Bourns-500K-PushPull-Pot_p_1492.html but was a bit skeptical due to the price, as well as the fact that it...

I was wondering if anyone has heard more specific information on when the 7-string version of the Mark Holcomb Alpha/Omega set will be available. I have the six string set and would love to get them for my 7 before my band goes into the studio. I've talked to both Mark and the guys and Duncan...

Hi everyone, I've just gotten into playing bass (I've been playing guitar for 13 years) and am considering investing in my first legitimate bass in the upcoming months. I know what I like in terms of tone from a bass, and Dingwall (particularly their Combustion models) are definitely the closest...

I know that Washburn has said that the Duncan Solar pickups would be "exclusive" to Ola Englund's guitars, but does anyone know if there will ever be a public release? I'd love to try a set.

If anyone in the forum has been able to try these pickups, I would love to know what you think. I've been very impressed with their sound and am considering buying a set in the near future.

I was curious to see if anyone has tried both, as I'm currently debating between the two, but haven't found a shop that has both so I can A/B them through the same rig. I'm leaning toward the 808X, but I still would love some input.

I've heard a lot of claims that the Juggernaut set is very versatile, but I wanted to get the opinions of the people on this forum about them. I know they can do heavy and clean tones very well, but what about mid-gain tones? Blues, classic rock, etc.?

I'm contemplating buying a Schecter KM-7 in the near future, and I was wondering if any of you who have tried the Nazgul bridge pickup think that it can handle musical styles other than metal. I don't expect it to be able to do jazz or country, but would it be able to take on more basic rock sounds?

I was wondering if any of you have recommendations for acoustic guitars with particularly good upper fret access. I do a lot of lead work and am looking to get something that has easy access to high registers along with great tone. I'm open to any price point, though I would love to find a...

Re: Evertune Retrofitting: Opinions It's a mahogany body guitar. On the thinner side, but I know people who've had it done.

I wanted to hear some feedback from those of you who have installed Evertunes in your guitars. Do they work as advertised? Did it affect your guitar's tone positively or negatively? Anything else you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to install one in my Schecter within the...

Does anyone have experience with the 5150 model in Amplitube 3? I've been experimenting with pairing it with certain cabs, mics, and changing the settings of the overdrive pedal in front of it for quite some time now, and I can't get that super chunky and tight low end like so many 5150 sounds...
