megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

what?

what?

New member
i'm having a tough time trying to roll these guys together. i want dave mustaine (megadeth) leads (probably a JB, right?), but i also want to be able to switch to greg tribbet's gainiac rythm. (mudvayne)
what pups would i need?
i like to play with my gain set at 10, so that alone could be for leads, but could i put an extra dist pedal in front of that for rythm? or would that turn it to mush and fuzz and all that junk?
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

sounds like the tone your after is fairly simple to get. yes first off you willneed to find a distortion level that you want (pedal or amp).
after that you will find that most pickups will give a fairly acurate rendition of the sound you want, what you need to know is weather you want a nice distortion (JB) or somthing that will rip peoples soles away (somthing active - the livewire)

personaly if you want distortion the livewire will beat any other pickup- ever!!!
keep thise fingers flapping

Welcome to the SD Forum, what?!

..We'll need a little more info. ..What type of guitar would the pups be for? ..Woods/Humbuckers/Single-coils/Amp(s)??
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

Conversely, the LiveWire (use the search function) has got some pretty bad reviews...

Take notes and make an informed decision, every pickup can be excellent and terrible depending upon the setup.

Shred Me Good is right about the JB...

Bee

P.S.: Welcome to the forum!
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

Mudvayne's tone is pretty easy to recreate with a 15-watt amp and a cheap distortion pedal, just turn up the gain and slap your fingers against the frets...

I hate one-finger powerchords, hahaha

Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

right now i've got a marshall mg15, (no fx), and i like its tone. the guitar? probably a epi sg, i'll probably have 1 of those to replace the single-hum piece of junk i got now. the invader sounds like a good idea, but doesn't the bridge pup have to have more output than the neck? i read that somewhere... ( and the invader is pretty powerful according to the tone charts) sorry, i'm new at changeing pups and stuff. about the LW, can you mix active and passive pickups like that?
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

i was also thinkin i could use a LW metal in the rythm, and for lead, could i put two LW hot rails together? like, join them in to a single pup w/ double the output of a single LW HR, in a kinda quadra bladed humbucker. would that work or flop?
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

oh, btw (i feel stupid.. :smack: ) which position is rythm and which is lead? i've got one site telling me bridge is rythm, and the other that the neck is the rythm. which is which?
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

lead = bridge.
rhythm = neck.

Put an Invader into your lead slot. Put a JB into the rhythm (I know it's not offered for the neck, but people have tried it and loved it... ask Jolly, if I recall correctly)
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

actually, i was thinkin the other way aound, the JB for that 80s lead and solo tone i love (ala dave mustaine, kirk hammet, etc [yeah, i know, kirk uses emg]) and the invader for that bottom-heavy rythm i'm hearin in my head, and that the voices tell me to play. with lead, i like to scoop my mids out... and for rythm, i like it fat and ballsy. so, i think that might work better... so is this good? any problems w/ it?
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

Definitely a JB in the bridge man if you want to sound like those guys from the 80's!

For the neck though id go for something else like a Jazz or something, much better match to the JB and you will be able to use it for many other things well too.
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

You will not be able to get mudvayne sounds out of your neck/rhythm cavity. I say SH-6 in the bridge.

I agree with the inability to get Mudvayne out of the rhythm, which is why I'm suggesting the Invader in the bridge. The JB bridge Invader neck is more offered, by conventional standards, seeing as though there is no neck JB but there is a neck Invader, but, say you had a trillion cubic yards of dirt, and you poured just enough water on it to fully saturate it... that's how muddy the Invader can be in the neck. I don't dig it.
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

ok then...
oh, and what about a mid pos pup, what would that be? could i just screw the neck and have just mid/bridge hb setup? would that work better? i've seen it done before...
 
Re: megadeth and mudvayne?!!?

jb/dimebucker combo??

I'm assuming the JB bridge is a definite here


I found the dimebucker clarified the invaders mud and stayed fairly close to invader chunk.... (hough I haven't tried it in the neck).....
