Re: Pickup Choice for Flying V - METAL

yeah, that place kinda sucks now, but what can we do :yell:
anyways, im LPshredder there. i answered to your same thread over there too!
too bad, that everyone is gonna say EMG 81 for bridge and 60 for neck.
and ruinerr is gonna get in there and "ruin" it all!! :laugh2:

Haha. I know that. Well, what can we do but hope that they are mature enough not to bias their opinion that easily. For them - Hetfield baby, Hetfield. For us - Well, hell this is a SD Forum!!

But at least here, we're all smart enough to consider other pups designed for different tones.

Thanks again.

I've got a Full Shred in my '85 reissue V and it smokes! There's a Gibson super distortion in front, but it never gets used.

Killer. Are you familiar with SH-6's? I'd like some comparisons if possible.

Re: Pickup Choice for Flying V - METAL

I don't really understand this 'puter stuff enough to be able to do that yet, sorry guys. That V isn't really my main axe right now. I only haul 2 guitars to any show and that's a '76 LP Custom that's been beat to death and a '95 Mexi Tele that's been beat to death. If you're interested, though, my equipment is for the most part archaic. The signal chain is the same for all the instruments: AT wireless to DBX compressor then Digitech GSP 5 (still can't beat the echoes and distortions) split to stereo then BBE Sonic maximizer into Marshall 8008 PA, custom 212 cabinet made by a company that isn't even in existence anymore loaded with Emminence 75 W 8 ohm speakers. Long live the 80's, huh?

Just wanted to revive this thread incase anyone else has useful info on the topic, because I'm only weeks away from picking up this axe, if plans go accordingly to desires. Thanks a lot.
