New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

And to think I just bought a live wire set. :smack:

Oh well. This is a good excuse for another guitar. :D


I can't see the neck model being too different from the LWC neck. It reminds me a LOT of a jazz. I'm looking forward to hearing the set, though.

And I would have figured the set would have 4 pots, like the LWM set. I guess since it's for an ESP......

Yes, there are more options for active pickups with EMG's... we all know that... Yes it's got Dave's signature on it, but you can wait a few weeks and get one at the same price that doesn't have his sig. on it...

All I'm saying, is remember these are Dave Mustaine signature pups, designed by Dave and Duncan, so they're made the way he wanted 'em, personally I really like every aspect of the way they look, and I can't wait to get 'em installed in February...

Think of them as a JB / Jazz set with higher gain and more output, but voiced like Seymour's and Dave's most popular passive pickup set.
 
Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

If it's tighter I'd be allover them. I can't wait to try one out!
 
Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

Why not 18v like the livewires? This set might confuse things further.

I like it much better that way. My luthier bud wouldn't route my body to hold 2 9 volts but gladdly will to hold one!

Rock ON~!~ :)

How will these compare, (output-wise), to the LW Metal's and LW Classics? Also, if you had to, can you equate the voicing of the Classics to a passive set?

Thanks Evan.

That does sound cool. I'm very interested in a shop floor custom bridge model myself.

I guess now I can finally post this pic that I've been hiding/protecting since April. It's not the best, but you get the idea.

Hmm... I don't, these pickups are 9 volt, not 18, like the livewire I had in my first strat ~ thanks for the offer though!

Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

And still, no one will explain how we're supposed to run them at "up to 25 Volts" with 9 volt batteries.

9 x 2 = 18
9 x 3 = 27

Sooo....

9 x 2.7777777777777777777777777777778 = 25 ?
 
Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

I figured out how to do it...

okay


9 + 9 + 9
9 + 9
9
wired in parallel

have 5 of those and you get 24.54V


maybe 30 batteries isn't too practical though...you could use 2 car batteries...

That'd be a helluva route in my guitar for that one...
