Hi to all! I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Bare Knuckle Boot Camp line of pickups? Thanks in advance for any replies! ;)

Hi to all! ;) I came across the Harley Benton Fusion II-models and after checking their specs, I became pretty interested in them. Harley Benton is the "housebrand" of Thomann, a big retailer from Germany. They are made in Inodnesia and specs are pretty impressive for their price tag. They...

Re: Coolest Production Model Axe This one?? Just kidding though :18:

Hi to all! I am wondering how good the current production Jackson DK2 Pro Dinky models are. I still own two DK2 Pro models from the "made in Japan" era, and I am wondering how the current production "made in Mexico" models compare to them (build quality wise) I do know there is better...

Re: Two humbuckers with split middle position You could also accomplish that with the "John Petrucci" wiring, using a 3P3T switch as a pickup selector switch. I got this wiring standard in an Ibanez RG620. The diagram of the so called Petrucci wiring is below: Do mind that the diagram...

Re: Replacement pups for a set neck JB Player Pro Series I actually like the color! If it was my guitar I would call it the "Flemish Lion" because it's exactly the colors of the Flemish flag and weapon shield! But apart from that, I do like the color of the guitar! As for pickups, I would...

I was wondering if anybody tried the stock pickups in a Duesenberg guitar?? I'm especially interested in the humbucker models, but comments on P-90's are welcome too! I know the Duesenberg humbuckers are the same as Kluson aftermarket humbuckers, except the Klusons don't have the metal...

Re: Overdrive pedals for metal? Best metal pedal I've came across is the Biyang Metal End King (there is a regular version too, but the King has better capacitors and so on and it's prefered to go for the King version). It's far from an expensive pedal, but don't let the price fool you! It...

Re: Your favorite practice amp My practice amp is a Randall WH40 "Dimebag signature". I only use the power amp section of it though in combination with a Zoom G7.1ut that goes to the return of the effects loop. This amp is nothing more than a Randall RG40 with camo tolex and a grill in front of...

Hi to all!! In my HSH guitars, I usually never use the number 3 position (single coil by itself), the single coil is only used in position 2 and 4 in combination with a split humbucker, to get Strat-like (nothed positions of a Strat that is) tone. I was wondering what single coil (or single...

Re: What is your best looking guitar? It used to be my Ibanez JEM, but I don't own that one anymore, so it does not qualify. From my actual collection I am going with my Jackson DK2 Hot Rod Flames (mine has a red single coil at the neck spot to complete the look though): I know, I know, many...

Hi to all!! I was wondering if any of you has any experience with the UK company Catswhisker?? In the past I had good experiences with Swineshead pickups, another UK handwinder, but that company is not active anymore unfortunately. Even if the design of the Swineshead pups was somewhat...

I am experiencing fret buzz on all 6 strings when they are fretted against the first fret (so the strings are not buzzing against the first fret actually, but against the second one) of an Ibanez RG505 (Edge trem, double locking FR-style bridge). It only has string buzz there, and maybe the...

I think it's neat that the Duncan company offers humbucker sets, and that you get a slight reduction in price when you buy your pickups as a set. However I was never able to buy a set, even if I wanted to. Reason for that is that all my guitars are tremelo equipped and therefore need Trembucker...

Since my sweat just eats strings I have switched to coated strings a long time ago. I've been using the Elixirs. I've tried the D'Addario EXP coated strings, but did not like them at all, because the unwound strings are not coated which rendered them pretty useless. I've noticed GHS making...
