big suprise, huh?

Hey guys,
I've finally decided to upgrade my pickups in my Epiphone Goth Flying V. That's a mahogany bodied guitar, by the way. I've already decided on an EMG 81 in the bridge, but I can't decide on a 85 or a 60 in the neck. I play distorted leads in the neck from time to time, and I also want a good clean sound. Judging by this, I think that I'm leaning towards the 85, but your opinions would be very helpful. With the 85, I could opt for the Zakk Wylde set, which brings me to my second question. I have very limited electronical skill. How much would it take putting those in (The ZW set has Quick-Connect wires)?

I know in a tube amp that most of the overdrive sound comes from the poweramp, but what's more important for the responsiveness, the preamp or poweramp?

Its funny, this post is similar to spidey's about getting some pups tweaked in. I loved my new JD/APS-1 combo when I first got it, but the quot;magicquot; wore off quick. Now I'm loving them again simply because I realized I needed to tweak my set up to make them sound right. They're my first A2 mag pups, and they have a lot more high-end than anything else I've played. I just had to make a few adjustments to maximize their qualities. The JD is bright and twangy, without being brittle or harsh, and the APS-1 has great quot;chimequot; and sparkle.

There was one of these (supposedly) in a used Strat that I bought. It doesn't say on the top, but I gather that it just was worn off a long time ago as the pickup is very dirty and even has some rush on the blades. The pickup appears to be quite old. From webpics, the pickup looks identical to a Hot Rails (other than no label); it has the same colored wires in the right positions and what not. Anyway, I couldn't find pics of the backs of them. What does the back of a Hot Rails look like? Anyone have pics? This one has a black bar magnet on the back and has a sticker that says BP on the bar.

Had planned to build a mahogany warmoth p90 this summer, but between budget, vacation, and gigs (at least gigs made the list it's becoming clear that it won't happen until fall at earliest-

Right now I have a Marshall TSL122. Got it for like 800 when the local Mars Music went under. I could never get the fx loop to work, but made some minor repairs (sodering some loose connections), pulled 2 of the tubes because its way too loud. But alas I'm thinking of selling it in lew of another rig as this amp sounds like the grill cloth is made out of a down comforter.

I recently picked up a Dean Hollywood Z that I'm making a project guitar. The first item of business is to change the pickups. I'm not sure what kind of pups it's got but I know they're cheap.
