I was never happy of my fender us strat special floyd rose and i've been searching for ages for a good floyd equipped guitar and the best one i have ever played was a hamer chapparal custom. That and a jackson soloist (SL1???).........but the jackson costed 8 times more and didn't sound at all 8 times better.......infact i wasn't sure if it sounded better than the hamer chapparal i have tried. So finally after 6 years of search i have found one and i couldn't let her go..................the guitar is amazing........endless sustain (despite the floyd), fast and comfortable neck and in very good condition.......the only thing i am going to change are the pickups.......most probably with my tried and tested emg 85/sa/sa combination..... That's a sweet guitar, bro. I really like the color.

I am looking to replace my mim j-bass stock pickups and am trying to research my options. The antiquity series was suggested to me by a friend. I see that seymour duncan has a wide variety of pickups and I am not sure what way to go. I play mostly rock and soul. I use zero effects, just the tube gain on my ampeg to warm up the sound. I need a warm fat sound that cuts on all frequencies without being to high end-y or thin.

Can anyone recommend some scales that would be good to learn for soloing?
Just been listening to Soulman's 'Classic Rock Solo' and it got me wondering what scale/s where used?

So I mentioned a while back that my amp (Fender Princeton 65) was having this trouble popping and stuff... So I finally worked up the guts to open the back of it. Not knowing a whole lot about amps in general, especially SS ones, I have touched (almost) nothing inside, just looking for anything that looks like a short or bad connection. Unfortunately, I can't see anything. The fuse looks fine. The only things I touched in the amp were the insulated plug-in connections for the speaker, switch, etc. Why can't my amp be simpler so I can find the problem!!

A friend of mine who is very into Hendrix (and plays his songs with irritating accuracy) is getting an American standard strat. He wants more of a vintage Hendrix era tone than the stock pups. His current choice of replacements is Fender Custom Shop 69 Strat Pickups and I am just wondering about your opinions of them and any suggestion of alternatives. Im just worried that he is jumping to an expensive decision without considering other brands first as he has never played a guitar equipped with these yet.

Hi ho, wonder if you folks can advise me on this issue...

i just did some practice experimenting with different chords and struck a pretty slick funk/jazz groove. I just threw on the metronome and worked different rhythmic patterns while soloing with a jazz/funk progression in my head-loads of fun!

well, I got a distortion, a chorus and a noise suppresor and Im GASing for a new pedal to fiddle around with but I just do not know what to get ....

can anyone suggest any good cheap guitars which will be mostly used for metal. i don't need a tremelo bar or locking nuts or anything but obviously i would like at least one humbucker at the bridge. thinnish neck is preferable. I have ?300 - ?350 to spend. I am looking to play stuff like Megadeth, Children of Bodom, Metallica, Kreator, In Flames and other similar stuff.

so the idea hit me one day that i could perhaps effectively combine the sound of a singlecoil alnico pickup (w/ polepieces) with the larger magnetic field of a blade/rail pup. unfortunately, i've never made or modded pups, so maybe someone out there can help.
my idea in a nutshell:

I was wondeing if there was a possible way that (using a push/pull pot) I could change the middle setting (on a les paul) from parrellel to series as well as using another 2 pots to split each pickup

I know what they sound like and I have one in mt GT5 but my question is how does it actually process the signal? The best I can figure is that theres some pitch-shift reciprocal-octave stuff going on and maybe some minor distortion and notch filtering... but I can't really describe it.

Alright, im thinking of building a guitar, im getting all the tools i need ( especially a soldering iron) but i have never done this before. So for my first try, im thinking of getting either a les paul or a tele ' bu ild your own guitar' kit.
What do you guys think? Would that be the best way to go for a bigginer?

I'm looking at switching out the pickups in my Gibson Les Paul Studio. I want to get an invader for the bridge position. I know it's all about the what I like, and what sounds good to me, but does anyone have any suggestions for something that would pair well with that? I want something toned down just a llittle bit, not as insanely intense as the invader, but strong enough to keep up with it -- just a bit more subtle and nuanced.

I was on New Sensor's site looking at their Mullard EL34 reissues...

Ok the sound is not the problem. It's gorgeous... This pickup is a sleeper and totally underrated. But it IS a trembucker/F spaced and yet... Well the polepieces aren't where they should be. Has it happened to anyone, and what's the cause? What to do?

was wondering if i should get antoehr JB or try the custom for my wine red LP custom?
the JB is in a all mahogany black beauty historic and there it stay

I have a few Gibson 57 classics laying around and I have considered making a hybrid with a C5. I am wondering if anyone happens to know the Differences in the coils between a Gibson 57 and a Duncan 59 ?

I've been doing this in pieces all day while on baby duty.I'm leaving out the cap only because I have no clue where to get one for now.Anybody have and good or bad experiences with this?Hopefully I'll get it finished after the littl one goes down
