so i've been looking at the new Dan Donagen (Disturbed) and Scott Ian (Anthrax) signature models from Washburn. they 2 version of each of them, a lower quality model (70) and a higher quality model (75). one of the main differences between them is the pickups. the 70's got a matched pair of Duncan Distortions, where as the 75's got an El Diablo in the bridge. (the Dan Donegan has a 59 in the neck and the Scott Ian has no neck pup.) now i currently have a DD in the bridge of my ibanez iceman and really like what it can do. i also have a jb in the bridge of my epi les paul and...well comon, it's the freakin jb! so my question is as follows: how does the El Diablo compare to the DD and the JB tonewise?

In true SD Forum style, can I hear from you guys who have successfully used pickups such as Hot Rails / Cool Rails / Fast Track 1/2 etc etc in the NECK position of a guitar.

All,
Please listen to me playing guitar directly into mic jack:

What kind of string instrument is it that you hear in most chinese instrumental music?? It sounds like a kind of guitar, but it has a special sound to it.. I think it's very beautiful, and I would like to know if anybody knows what it is, because it could be interesting to learn how to play one. The music is very relaxing and good to listen to if you want to get rid of stress etc.

WOULD THIS TREMOLO ARM FIT MY STRAT? ANYONE KNOW?

hey i dont know if this has been covered here arleady....
what was gilmour using at live 8?

I have a 5-string, and I recently tried the musicians friend premium 5 string, and they are horrible.

I know a few folks here have put together pedals from and i must say I am hooked now. I'm a geek by nature and proffesioin, but it was really cool to build my own pedal. Now that it's built I am having trouble coming up with a design theme and name for the trem. I don't want to copy anyone else and I am drawing a blank while trying to think of a cool name. Any suggestions?
