New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

Just duct tape the car batteries to the bottom of the HM strat. It'll be sweet and everyone will be like "OMFG~!"

And I've been at my local dealers everday telling him to find out soon he can possibly order me a set so I can be one of the first kool kids to have these new beauties!

Worse things have been done... I can't afford a new guitar, and I think it's gonna be pretty SIC!!
Tele's with actives are awesome!

Agh! My mind is corrupted! My innocence and purity has been lost! :yell:

*collapses*



I'll bedrudge you that it's a matter of taste :laugh2: Anyway, do post on how they go - I'm interested in hearing about these.
 
Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

i'm with you Kac, i already have a set on order :)

i heard from Evan and got a bit more info.

they come with 4 pots so they can be used in a les paul. 2 volume, 2 tone.

also you can not buy just a bridge or neck pickup. full sets of neck and bridge with pots etc only. a bit upset about that but it's ok.

Alas for all those one 'bucker guitars :laugh2:
 
Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

yup i wanted to put the bridge model in one of my 1 hum guitars. i may still do it and just leave the neck hanging around for future use or something. not sure yet. it's either that or they go in one of my les pauls or my schecter.

still thinking it over but i do know i'm getting a set, what i put them in is left to be decided LOL.

Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

that's kool, thanks for the new info XSSIVE, I guess I'll be leaving a couple pots out, unless I wanna do even more modding on the tele... We'll see :13:

Rock On ~ Kac

clone #6(66) ??
 
Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

Very cool... I wasn't expecting the "active" part. If only I had a need for new pickups right now... maybe I need to go get another guitar. A very small part of me has always wanted a Jackson Kelly, those things would look sweet in one of the crimson swirl kellies. :headbang:

XSSIVE.... is the thought of a 2 humbucker superstrat that repulsive to you?

Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

Mike, nope, 2 hum isn't bad i just like the tone of a 1 hum better with the extra wood left and no extra string pull from a neck pickup. however as i'm trying to decide what to put these in i may build clone #5 to stick them in after 2 of my other guitars sell....still thinking it over.

-Mike
 
Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

Wow i am definitely looking forward to this pickup. I love Megadeth and Dave Mustaine is the man!!!

I bet they are expensive :(

They would go nicely in my les Paul :) :) :)
 
Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

I was in the Orchasta section at the Gigantour tour, so I had a good look at what guitars Dave was playing and he used this one for most of the set and it sounded AWESOME. You could hear the difference.

Awesome pickups. :notworthy :headbang: :bowdown:

No string pull issues with actives, even hot ones. They get their power from the preamp and not an overly powerful magnet, so there's no issue like with an Invader or something (as an extreme example).
 
Re: New Duncan Mustaine set - active !!

TC...oh, i know that, that's why i'm going to let it slide if i build a super strat for these. i was just speaking in general as to why i have a few 1 hum guitars. these may go in one of my les pauls, not sure yet.
