Hey guys, I've been playing my jackson ke3 recently and want to throw some active pickups in there, either 6 string emgs or 6 string blackouts for trade i have a set of Dimarzio 7 string pickups; the DSonic 7 and PAF 7, which i havent used since i put blackouts in the ibby - that of which i...

my friend wired up two new pickups, dmz dsonic 7 and a paf7, in my RG1527, and all the connections are right. With gain on my amp, the bridge pickup (dsonic) has a hum or buzz that gets louder and softer depending on where i am in my room, but the neck pickup has no buzz at all. got any suggestions?

what are usually the best settings for volume on a tube head or amp (specifically a 5150), for recording and performing? Also, are attenuators worth getting?

Last month i looked at a previous forum that discussed neck shims, and i thought maybe my jackson needed one. My reasoning was that I had the trem really deep in the cavity to make the action some what playable, and whenever i bent the bar up, it would hit the wood in the trem cavity, which...

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in buying my damien 7. It has a basswood body, mat black finish, emg hz alnico pickups, bolt on maple neck, schecter licensed tone-pros tunomatic bridge, string thru body, 24 Xjumbo frets, bat inlays, 26.5 scale neck, and volume and tone pots. Very...

what are your opinions on it? With its features the price, to me, almost seems too good to be true.

my schecter damien 7 came set up from the factory almost perfect, but i adjusted the intonation a little more to get it exact. My problem is that when i hit and hold a low chord (usually a power chord) using the b string, it doesnt sound right at all, and i originally thought it could be that...

i got a schecter damien 7, and it rocks but i might have to replace the emg hz's that came in; they just dont sound good. I play mostly heavy metal, and i love the sound the duncan custom has on my kelly through my 6505+. The pickup hole is bigger from the hz because the pickup is housed in a...

i few months ago i took out the jackson trem and put in an OFR in my jackson ke3 and i think im gringing my knife edges. question 1: what should i do to keep the knife edges from grinding? question 2: i dont want to replace the whole bridge unit...where can i buy an OFR baseplate?

i need advice for my 6505+ head the amp sounds great and i never decided to test the effects loop until recently, and i noticed that when i engage the loop on the footswitch, a loud pop noise goes through the speakers, and then the loop works fine. It doesnt sound like it should happen and i...

i just wanted to know who's got an ovation preacher, besides me...and your opinions on it. I also have a question to anyone who played, owned, or owns one. Thanks

i just bought a 500k push/pull pot because my jackson pot would often crackle. I'd rather keep the pot and stay with passive pickups, but i need help with deciding which bridge pickup would best suit me. These are the ones i was interested in... jb steve's special dimebucker tone zone custom...

hey, my good friend rrawwrr told me you can take 2 power tubes out if you have 4 and reduce the wattage by half...i believe him, but how do i do it correctly? Oh, and whats the advantage?

Whats your favorite tone from these artists...

ok, im new to the forum, and i came partly for advice on selecting pickups. I play high gain death metal thru a peavey 6505+ (5150 2) with a Jackson KE3 Kelly, and i hate my my invader style Duncan Detonators. They aren't clear and shoot out way too much bass thru my amp. My presence and treble...
