I'm thinking of changing out the pickups in my PRS Custom 22. I believe they are the old Dragon I's. I LOVE the cleans it produces...very bell like...I just melt over the clean sound. But the dirty sound leaves much to be desired. It's like the pickups aren't hot enough. There's a definate different between it and my Gibson LP. I know I might have to sacrifice some of my bell like cleans in order to get more juice on my dirties...but is there a pickup that will leave my bell like clean intact while still giving me some balls to the wall distortion?

Well I searched the forum and couldn't find a topic similar to this, but since the MIM Jazz Bass has two congruent pickups instead of a larger bridge pickup (Like the American model and how j pickups are designed by SD), is it advisable to install a neck pickup in both the neck and the bridge spots? I was thinking like a Quarter pounder in the neck and a hot stack in the bridge, would this sound pretty cool?

hi all,

Well, i'm currently working on fixing up my old Peavey Raptor plus, which i got from my uncle 2 years ago. I'm done with almost everything, exept the nut work.

I thought this might be interesting. I love sitting back and thinking of all the guitars that I have owned throughout the years.This sort of reminiscing always makes me think of my very first guitar and my first decent guitar. It was sort of bittersweet for me because my first axe was an Applause by Ovation acoustic that was in horrible shape, nevertheless I banged away until I convinced my dad I was ready for a better guitar. We then bought a really nice Alvarez electric acoustic out of the local paper. I loved that guitar, but shortly after figured out I was born to rock and I needed an electric so being a die hard Jimmy Page fan (worshiper) I had to have a Les Paul. So in the summer of 1995 I saved up and bought a Les Paul Studio. It was wine red with gold hardware. I loved it and wished I still had it..... just like I wish I still had most of the 40 guitars I have had. I can't imagine some of you guys on the forum that are much older than me and some of the cool guitars you have had throughout the years seeing as I have only been at it for about 10 years.

I just recieved my ESP back, les paul style guitar. I've gone through a few of the same model. This one I noticed when setting it up it has a low neck angle. When setting up, I have to screw the bridge and tailpiece pretty much all the way down whereas on the others I've owned they were significanly higher to get the same action. Is this normal or out or spec? The action is low enough as it is, but on the treble side the bridge is screwed all the way down to the body and there's no more adjustment room.

Hello,

A buddy of mine, Mark Meyer, uses one and I was pretty impressed listening to him the other night. He plays with a bass player, vocalist and a drum machine, and he plays rythym for a couple of verses, then when he wants to solo he presses a button and the Boomerang plays the rythym he's recorded back as a loop and he solos over it. He can also record a bridge and the Boomerang will play the verse until he presses a button for the bridge, then it'll play the bridge and when the bridge is over, it'll switch back to the verse again. Is this the same pedal Bill Frisell uses? Seems like it works best with electronic drums...the rythym has to be rock solid in order for the loop to be in time. But I thought the tone my friend was getting was very good! Lew

Any suggestions? I am trying to request some SD P-90s from my wife for Christmas and I want to be able to send here to a good online dealer to order them. Let me know who's out there.
