Hello, I whas thinking about lowering the mid and bas for a more Engl sound.
And I dont really know the values for this mod?
Can any one help me with this mod?

I just added another Cool Rails to the neck of my Strat-a-clone.
My cheapy camera again:

Any suggestions on what type of pick-ups I should get to put into a Ibanez RG 160. I play basic bar chords mostly, and often with heavy fuzz. I play in a contemporary Christian ROCK band and I have recently switched from bass to Rythm guitar so I am still learning chords. I like the deep metal/distorted sound. Thanks.
I tried to look up the RG 160 on the Ibanez zite and only found 150s and 170s so Im not exactly sure if you have an h/s/h or h/h guitar and this makes a difference. I'd suggest a JB, Dime or Distortion in the bridge and a four conductor 59 in the neck. If you have a single coil in the middle and want to keep the switching stock you'll need a top south SD single coil to keep everything hum cancelling and phased correctly.
With my RG 550 I went with a JB in the bridge, a JB jr in the middle and a 59 in the neck and I changed the wiring so that the bridge and neck pickups don't split.

I'm ordering a Schecter 006 Elite from GC this weekend (they have to special order it, i have to put the full price down before they order it). I think the list is like 550. Will I be able to talk them down? I'd order it online but I can't find anywhere that has them without a huge wait.
Paying in cash helps you knock some dollars off. But be aggressive in your negotiations. Really pretend to be really digging a much less exspensive ax or etc...

I'm shopping for a cheap but decent effects unit that I won't be scared to use live for either theft or reliability reasons, and have narrowed it down to these two on the basis that they fit the price range and are footswitchable for live use. So I'm curious if anyone here has experience with either/both of these units, and if so how do they compare?
I used to own a Rocktron Intelleffect and still own an IntelliPitch. I also have a G Major in my rack. I have yet to check out the Expression hands-on but it looks to bridge the gap between the IntellEffect and the G Major. It's definately worth giving a demo if you can get your hands on one. Rocktron makes some very nice rack units and now that they have expanded the funtions it should kick butt.
I like the G Major quite a bit as well and I get some great tones out of it. Some folks complain that the controls and processor in the G Major can be quirky but I've had good luck with mine.

Recently I've realised that I'm getting more into Guitar, and that my Valvestate Marshall just isn't cutting it. I've toyed with the idea of upgrading to tube, but I've always dismissed it because I always feel like I need to drop three grand on a JCM 800 or something.
-Can I buy a great tube amplifier for around $ 1,000 (maybe more)? I'm not attached to the idea of getting some monster head and a big 4x12. An awesome combo is more than fine.
-I'm looking for versatility. I don't just play metal or just play jazz. I need something that covers everything, and covers it well.

well, i think everyne is familiar with these. it features 4 channels per bank and 6 banks i think, (a-f) and can be programmed to do just about anything. i always used it for diff types of distortion and it works great. it comes with the power supply and is in great shape other than missing the battery cover. i am gonna ask $25 plus $5 shipping anywhere in the con. u.s. will consider trades.

I think it's 412 time for me. I just wanted to get opinions on which you would buy. I've saved up and money isn't a issue for this one, I'm going for tone. But if I can get one and save a hundred bucks, hey, it's a hundred bucks as long as the tone is there...
Here's how it goes:

Hey guys, I just opened up my PODxt and I hooked it up to Line 6 Edit. Now the I connected the USB cable from the USB jack on the PODxt to the USB port in the computer, and Line 6 Edit won't recognize my PODxt. How do I get it to recognize the PODxt via the USB cable? I don't have one of those MIDI things and don't know what they are, they didn't come with the POD, only the USB did.
I pressed the Line 6 Edit and then continue, and then it was loading the Line 6 Edit. At around 40% it stopped at quot;configuring editorquot;. It opened up something that read:
MIDI DEVICES

Recently dropped a Hotrails PU in the bridge position and I have been on a quest to figure out what PU's I want to drop in the neck and middle positions of my Strat. I keep coming back to the SSL-4 and SSL-5's. My overall goal here is versatility and a nice, fat, warm tone. I play in two bands--Clasic rock and blues. Any thoughts, feedback or suggestions appreciated.
Thanx!
