WITH FULL DISTORTION

F. Hails Railsologist
Hey Guys HOw are ya??? Its been a long time without any relevant posts here right? Yeah, i was living in Germany, then i came back to Brazil. i sold, bought new and used guitars, changed my styles and im still passing through a lot fo changes. some of them are interesting, some of them are .. well, lets say "UNexpected" . LIke my musical taste. Hhahahahah DOnt know if im leaving the metal REALM, or if im just Expanding territory and going to conquer new areas (jazz and fusion jazz for examples) BUt the main reaosn of this post is to say that i love all my friends and the place here (duncan forums) i learned a LOT from you and theres not a single day that i wont catch myself thinking about my learning process here in the SD forum. Thank you all and mr seymour duncan himself to puyt up a company thats HUman at the same time that its Mechanical. Q: ) Im getting into DImarzio territory, cause i bought some IBANEZ guitars(2 RG7420, and 1 RG550 ), but i kept my DUncan custom and my JBJR Neck in my charvel. im now willing to (among other guitar try outs) finally Order my custom humbucker Set from the SD custom shop. i have some things in my mind, and i already know what i want, ill just make a new post , when time is right to ask for your cooperation and coolaboration. But RIGHT NOW, im Unable to fund both , and to make things worse, i already order a dimarzio Set (Blaze CUstom 7- Liquifire 7 ) for my new RG7420 magenta crush. ahahahah :confused: NOw comes the duncan Praise : I have tried several duncan pickups (seth lover, duncan distortion, JB, Jazz neck, 59 neck and bridge, custom custom, custom 5, duncan custom, full shred bridge in the neck position, INvader bridge, dimebucker, hot rails neck and bridge. jb jr neck and bridge.) but NEVER FOUND my tone in the neck position. NEVER . i dont even came closer to it. My proposal is pretty simple, but even though i couldnt find it . it seems that the relationship between EQ and voice of the pickups doents match my tastes. its either not enough middles, or highs, or not my cuo of tea when it comes to pickup voicing. SO, im now looking for a balanced , overal SMooth, singing and sweet, with excellent and detailed/complex Clean tone, As well as a balanced EQ, not a single scooped frequency, a pickup that will TAKE and interact well with my high gain distortion, INstead of "eating out" it and making a clean distortion out of it, like the DImarzio air norton. The air norton is an awesome pickup, but the wah wah sound that it gives me sometimes, and this distortion/sustain eating quality it has, just pisses me off. really . so, the pickups voicing should be smooth , velvety , mellow, warm and Singing. darker than bright. brighter than total darkness. is there any duncan pickup that comes closer in the neck position? output moderate. like a JB for an example. so far, my favorite duncan humbuckers are : CUstom custom, Dimebucker, and the parallel axis distortion trembucker. but this last one i have not tried but heard it in a live situation and in a cd . The band Claustrophobia has one of the guitarrists using one in a jackson Rhandy rhoads in white. Awesome. THe duncans that i really dislike are : JB, DUncan distortion, custom 5. SO, resuming : im getting back to the duncan family(but i never went off, i was just trying different things), i m going to ask for help here in designing my custom humbucker set, and i need recomendations for a duncan Neck humbucker. Q: ) Thats ALL for now FOlks Q: ) Thanks JP PS - Heres a small GUITAR PORN of 3 of my 6 guitars (2 of them are disassembled. 2 ibanez. one rg550 and one rg7420) Uploaded with ImageShack.us
