Just reading the debate on alnico II vs V for bass and checked the Dimarzio site. They only state that the Model P uses a ceramic mag. Does anyone know? It's a great sounding pickup with a wide midrange punch from that I would assume alnico II.

hello, could any one you technical people tell me how I can manually increase the output of one of my pickups?

Anyone have any experience with these?? I'm thinking about getting one for my studio. Opinions please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once ive found a drummer i hope to be gigging soon with my band. Im thinking of using my POD into a clean amp (convienience and good if amps are provided, just need the POD). My amp at home is a 50watt marshall MG series 1x12 combo. Im planning on selling that and getting a half decent cheap 2x12 combo to run the POD through. Im mainly after a good clean tone but good overdriven tones would be a bonus. Once i have the money for my tone beast tube amp of sort this amp would probs become a backup. Im thinking of solid state so would be lighter and more reliable etc. I've thought about a 2nd hand marshall MG series 2x12 combo. Any other suggestions?

Every review I've read about this cabinet has been good..Seems the cab is good for both clean and punchy gained up tones,and it's the perfect match for the head...

I play in a modern/indie rock band with lots of punk style playing with high gain overdrive.I play lead and have a 30 watt ss combo and my rythmn guitarist has a 40 watt ss combo. We're both are going to replace our amps cause the band is going to play in clubs and schoolhalls....
My question is: Before I buy a halfstack, is a 30/40 watt tube combo real enough for my situation??? My bandmate is going for a ss halfstack but I'm not sure about that yet ,he don't want to pay more than 500 bucks, but he could also go for a cheap tube combo? So what should I do??

today my singer and i spent about 2 hours screwing around with mic placements in his (slowly but surely growing) home studio. the amp being used was my dual recto (running at 50 watts) through the marshall 4x12.

yesterday I bought a new Fender Stratocaster ( s-s-s , fingerboard-rosewood body-alder) and i wanna change the 3 stock pu with 3 Seymour for great clean sound and bright distorsion!

I NEED HELP!!!!!!! I own a Les Paul Classic with stock ceramic pickups. These things are way too hot for my tastes. I like the output when I play with gonzo distortion, but I also like cleaner and slightly overdriven sounds. As you can guess, these pickups suck when being used for the latter. I'm looking at SD pickups to replace them because I've heard nothing but good things about them, and a lot of my favorite artists use them (though my No. 1 guy, David Gilmour, uses EMGs, and I would consider putting his system in a Strat, but that's another time and another place). Thus, the question I have is this: what would be a good choice for covering cleaner jazz type things to metal distortion sounds? I'm considering the JB/Jazz combo that Adam Jones of Tool and about 100 other artist use, but will I have the same problem with the JB (too hot for a good clean sound) as I do with the stock Gibsons? Would a set of Alnico II pickups suffice? I'm kinda lost here!

What are the best hum-cancelling single coil pickups? (not humbuckers though)
