Dan G Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 ...into my jackson. Its about a 300 guitar with 'duncan designed' pick-ups (ie the not-so-good-sort of seymour duncan ones)However I was going to get a SH-4 in the bridge and a SH-2 Jazz in the neck position.Is this a good idea?Bear in mind I like to play rock/metal/shred...Any advice is appreciated. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeid Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 SH-4? is that the JB? I have a JB. Its ok. sounds someway decent. Very shrill at times. Its very very bright. too bright at times. almost single coil like.You forgot to mention that your in an emo band um, is it the JB though?

New Found Power Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 SD Sound Samples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 yeah its the JB.I cant hear the sound bites cos there is no sound on my work comp.I've checked th SD site but wasn't sure whether to go for a normal pick up or a metal one along the lines of the srhed model or even the dimebucker!

New Found Power Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 There's no sound sample for the Dimebucker, but apparently it's awesome.In R+B they had, and think they still have, the Bill Lawrence L500, the pickup Dimebag used up until they made the Dimebucker.Only 50 quid, so almost half the Dimebucker price. Could be worth a pop...Scott Ian's custom "Diablo" model is based on the George Lynch Screamin' Demon, but over wound and with rails instead of polepieces.Diablo's only available as part of a Scott Ian sig guitar, but the screamin demon might be good.

Dan G Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Yeah i was considering the george lynch one too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Found Power Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 or the ol' EMGs, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Yeah, I was considering getting an EMG 81 in the bridge and an 85 in the neck - like Zakk Wylde - but not sure about the whole active thing as well...D'oh, I am undecided!

New Found Power Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I'm going to stick EMGs in my JJ once i get a new job, either the Hetfield 81/60 combination or two 60s, depending on opinion.They just look so much cooler than other pickups!

POISON Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I got a EMG 81 on my esp at the bridge position and id say it sounds shit hot.u just to remember and take out ur lead once ur finished playing or the the pickup will stay active.

Rob Karloff Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I like EMGs. Even the non-active HZ range. I plan to fit EMG-60s to my ESP Viper-301 tho in the future.My Jackson RR has standard Jackson branded pickups in it, but they have quite large pole pieces. I built my own pre-amp for it, and it sounds bitchin. Used it mostly when I played in Bonesaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 JB at bridge and the Jazz <based on 59 Les Paul bucker> are featured on the new LTD Mustaine guitar and apprently are great for the whole metal/shred sound aswell as offering good clean tones.

Mouse Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Get a Dimarzio X2N Dan, trust me! It makes my pacifica better than my Gibson anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I went for an EMG 85 in the bridge and a n 81 in the neck. Zakk Wylde's set up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan G Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Shit, yes - my bad. But anyway I wasn't thinking quite correctly there.But anyway, it will sound ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Its a jackson DX10D, all black, with sharkfin fret inlays.Soon to be fitted with an EMG 81 in the bridge and an 85 in the neck.Also being set-up with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's and I'm having the floyd rose bridge blocked so it will act like a fixed bridge. (Changing tunings is a nightmare with floyd Rose bridges!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest operator zero Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 yeah - one of the main reasons i never went for a floyd rose was because of that:I change my tunings so often it's not funny - if you want to detune one you have to add extra springs and stuff and to be honest i couldn't be arsed.but i'm still considering getting one and just leaving it in Drop C (CGCFAD) or maybe a nice schecter?hmmbut that's after I've built a new comp and bought a new bass :S so this could be quite a while down the road...
