I've been practicing quite a bit since I posted here last and was wondering how you folks would like the latest tune I just finished this morning.

I have a Epiphone J-200 copy and i want/need a better nut and quot;bridge nutquot; (right word?) and i wonder what the real Gibson J-200 use, is it bone? I heard something about Tusq, true/false?

so i had a show last night at our local lion's club, and my Atomic was put to the test. Its a pretty big open venue and there was probably 100-200 people there. During sound check, i realized just how directional the Atomic is, which was an issue since the place was so open. Volume wasn't a huge deal, but it was a challenge for those 18watts because we had another guitarist, a keyboard (who sometimes was a 3rd guitar), a drummer and a bassist. I put the Atomic on my amp stand, which helped a lot, but to ensure everyone could hear me wail, i mic'd it with my 57 and ran it to the PA. End of problem. Most people in the crowd could hear my playing coming straigh out of my amp, and those who couldnt heard me through the PA. It worked great. Afterwords, I got many comments on my playing. None on my tone, but i dont think there were too many people in there who knew a lot about tone. I thought the tones that my Atomic were kicking out were excellent.

Hey,
my guitar, a Jackson DKMG, has a gain booster knob on it, known as the quot;Active EMG® TurboCharger® (0-20dB Gain Control)quot;. Am I going to be able to use it if I change pickups? Will I need any extra work/parts to make the switch? Switching from passives to passives.Thanks

Jackson? Charvel? Nothing other than Fender?

I have a Samick Tele copy, which I like alot. It has always surprised me. Cheapish. Not through the body string setup. Not fabulous hardware either. But always a nice resonance in the body, especially on the bass side. Kind of thing you can feel against your hip, even when not pluged in. What kind of wood i wondered. I had a look and it's a Ply-wood body! The stock pickups were really dull. Got a Hotrails for tele amp; a push-pull switch.

I'm replacing my old 1979 Peavey head this week for a new one. My cab is a Crate Blue Voodoo with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. I'm seriously thinking about buying the Randall RH200G2, but the Spider II looks pretty amazing. Both amps cost $399 at Musician Friend. I've heard nothing but great things about Randall amps in general. Line 6 on the other hand is different. Many say the fuzes blow a lot in them. Is this true? The head I want to buy must have a killer thick distortion channel (think AIC meets Down with a bit of Slayer) but it has to have a good clean channel also. Which would you buy?

where is the best place to buy seymour duncans? most places only have a few models. and i dont mean ordering them through my local shop. i mean on the internet.

Is there a difference between the three terms? I know that Hendrix used to like to use a fuzz pedal, and there was a fuzz used on the Stone's song Satisfaction . . . but can't you sort of simulate that effect with a distortion/OD pedal? And I know that overdrive refers to pushing your signal into clipping, but isn't that the same thing that a distortion pedal does - clip the signal? I was trying to explain to my girlfriend why I need a fuzz pedal . . . and she was saying that my OD pedal can do exactly the same thing . . . it got me thinking . . .

In a couple months when I have some money I'm going to look into buying a small tube combo (lt;20 watts) for at home playing and maybe the occasional jam with friends. The Classic 30 that I'm selling now was just too damn loud other than that I loved it. I don't play high gain stuff, just blues and jazz. What would you reccomend for lt;20 watts and lt;$500?

I have really been getting into the EBMM Axis guitars lately; since buying my OLP MM1. I keep looking at the Peavey Wolfgangs too. I know that EVH helped to design both models. My question is which one do you like better and why? Personally, I like the Axis. It seems to fit me better with its overall look and feel. To me, the Wolfgang just looks kind of weird.

I really want to hear a definitive answer with this from someone who has played them both. I've heard the powerball plenty of times. I'm just curious as to how the savage compares with it. How are they different and how are they simliar in terms of sound.

i've got a vox v847 that i've rarely used and is in great condition for sale.

Anyone play/own one of these? Opinions?

hey guys,
I made some clips couple of days ago and I used my Duncan Distortion bridge pickup in my Lespaul.

Anybody know how in the world I'm supposed to mount this thing? I emailed Fender and they said they had never heard of anything like it. They've been very helpful in the past, and I feel like if they knew anything they would have told me. They refered me to Lace Music, but their website is having issues and specifically says no technical questions. The guy I bought it from had it listed as quot;direct mounting.quot;
I wonder if it mounts directly to the body ala EVH and not to a pickguard?

This is a pretty good deal on Tweak Fuzz, I think (its not my listing)

Tell me which one you all like.
The pic i kinda small. I cant figure out how to make it bigger.

The 498T has some upper mid prominence...but alos has some more of the lower mids with less bass like a Custom...and it's pretty hot....

Hey Everyone,I was just wondering, I have an older jackson SL-1 that I have a C-5 in the bridge and a Dimarzio Fast Track 1 in the neck position,
I took the middle p/u out for various reasons...anyhoo, it has three mini toggle switches to turn each p/u on and off, since I'm not using then middle togge switch, can I do something else with it? maybe a coil splitter for both p/u's or something? Think up something cool and let me know, you will probably need to help me with specifics if I decide to do it...
