hi guys.i'm considering trying out a 59 bridge in my basswood ibanez rg565 w/all maple neck amp; fretboard.i was wondering what the mids are like on this pickup? are they upper mids,lower mids or an equal amount of both? i've got a screamin' demon pickup in this guitar now that was recently installed.the highs are good and love the quot;cabinet thunkquot; ample amount of bass and the lower mids growl thing.i'm not really into the heavy crunch tone,though.it seems a little quot;fuzzyquot;(for lack of a better term)sometimes.i seem to like my overall tone to be smooth,instead.the demon reminds me of the full shred but with less of the crunchy/chainsaw and a little more bass and top end highs.then again,i don't like the upper mid spike(like the jb model) to be the dominent mid content either.as long as it fits the guitar where i can do anything from vh/dokken/schenker/floyd-type hard rock to king diamond/savatage/exodus/early metallica-type metal.from chugging chords, great harmonics amp; clarity to shredding,tapping,sweeps etc...well-what do you guys think? thanks!

That is the case. I looked at guitarnuts.com and it says that I am probally discharging a cap but, it goes into talking about the cap between the bridge ground and the signal ground that is used to keep a defective amp for shocking the crap out of you, which I am not even using.

I have a strat, currently with stock pickups, and am looking to improve my sound a bit. The music style is mostly progressive/metal. I like my current setup, but was looking for something a little less muddy on the neck end. Since this is my first time replacing pickups, I did a little research and came across some things which I'd like some advice on.

Okay...I'm looking for a TUBE AMP with nice gain quality (classic rock / metal) that I don't have to crack up to full blast! I'm looking for this amp for my home so thats why I don't want something that will need to be too loud to get good gain quality.

Plus the 4X12 cab which are both in great condition.

well, I got a PG in the neck of my basswood tele right now, and i like it a lot, except it can be kinda muddy at times, so i'm wondering what a PG set in a double fat strat would sound like?

Well right now I'm studying management with Operations management at Heriot Watt university in Edinburgh. My mom just told me that she thought it wasn't for me and that I needed some manual since I was always touching my guitar and doing things to it... And well I've been playing for 6 months now but I just love the instruments, I'm buying another one in a few minutes (leaving to get it right after I post this, I'll post pics of it whenever I can). A lot of people probably will say 'wow that's soon for another guitar' and to a certain extent I agree, the only thing I can do very good is pinch harmonics Don't ask me to play the major scale at anything faster than 70 bpms, I don't know many solos... well I'm quite your typical-never-had-lessons beginners. But I just love the instruments... And I was thinking, eh maybe my mom is right ya know... If I could stop studying management and move on to guitars. Unfortunately here in Europe a beater guitar is at least 200 euros (The Charvel 1a I'm getting is this price and that's the reason I'm getting it: cheap great guitar) and money is an issue.
What's a good thing to start with? I have both of Dan Erlewine's books, I already did some adjustements on the model 4 and I'm about to learn how to take care of a maple fretboard too.

What magnet(s) were used in original P-90's?

Hi, I have a 2001 black Les Paul Custom.
I can't say I don't like its sound, but it's not as warm and dense as the best tone you would find on a Les Paul Standard (maybe it's the ebony fretboard that brighten things too much).
