Re: Adding pickup rings to a direct mount body? Overhauling a superstrat, pics inclu

Has this been an idea tossed around at all? Is it a custom shop thing? Just curious. I know that extended range pickups used to be soapbars but now more manufacturers are building them as standard humbuckers with legs and everything. Even EMG offers their pickups as "passive mounts".

I've been using Logic Pro a lot for stuff like drum programming and such for projects at school. I love the EQ, reverb, and compressor plugins that are available in Logic. The ES2 synth is fantastic as well. But I also just bought a subscription for the Slate Digital "everything bundle" and I'll...

Re: problems in sheet music If it's constant triplet 8th notes like in the example, I would write it in compound meter like what I have below. I also changed some of the music to accommodate what you played on the example in your Soundcloud.

Selling a set of active mount Blackout seven string pickups. Included is two volume controls, one tone control, a battery harness, and ~12 feet or so of 22 gauge hookup wire. The hookup wire is an estimate as I don't know exactly how much is left. I did buy 25 feet of it though and around half...

Re: Wiring Help I actually saw that too and meant to add those. I was gonna connect it to the middle lug of the tone pot like so.

I'm about to start rewiring my Schecter that I got last month. My new pickups will be in in a few days and then this weekend or next week I'm gonna get them in. I want to wire 2 volume 1 tone with push pull coil splits on the volumes and then a phase inversion on the tone. The idea is just to...

A good friend of mine got to try a vintage Klon when he went to New York recently. I know that nothing will get the exact tone, but I'd like to build him a Klone for his birthday in a couple months. Any tips?

Sooooo.... kind of a spur of the moment decision (read: was drunk). Picked this up for a nice price. I played one way back when I was 17 and first getting into the idea of seven string guitars (Trivium's Shogun album was huge for me). As great to play now as it was back then. The neck is...

As NAMM draws nearer (as a gear lover and a person going to school for audio engineering, it's my Christmas), we're starting to get some teases of the new series that companies are releasing. For years, I've loved the Fender Jazzmaster but for aesthetic purposes I do not like rosewood...

So the signal flow is Audio Technica Wireless-> Helix Rack-> QSC GX3 Power Amp-> Blackstar HTV-212 cab. I snapped a picture at pep band tonight and I'm absolutely in love with this rig.

They did one for Tosin Abasi a while ago and then did one for Mark Holcomb. Now they have a limited run. Maybe to test the waters for a future production model? Unfortunately, I was able to see the price on these and I could buy a small country for that.
