guitar pickups[views:1892][posts:14]____________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 1:59pm - anonymous ""] anyone got any suggestions for new pickups to get for my ibanez to play death metal with? |
| __________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 2:09pm - Niccolai ""] Dimarzio X2N EMG 81 these two pickups are responsible for the tone of like 90% of death metal. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 2:12pm - ELjustin nli ""] emg 81 in neck pickup is all you need |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 4:19pm - dertoxianli ""] not a fan of emgs. Try out the Dimarzio X2N or Evolution. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 4:51pm - GoatCatalyst ""] i want X2N-7's in my Warlock. that would do sexy to my ears. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 5:30pm - xanonymousx ""] are livewire's any good? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 5:39pm - Joshtruction ""] evolutions, PAF pro's, screamin deamons, JB, and X2N are all good choices. Some people are into stuff like the dimebucker, but that may be a tad too loud for me. While an emg 81 has it's benifits, I think you can gain more and tune your sound better with a passive pickup that suits and a boost pedal of ome sort. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 6:01pm - brian_dc nli ""] I'm all about passive pickups. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 7:18pm - xanonymousx ""] i was thinking of getting JB's, Livewires or EMG 81's for my guitar. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 9:51pm - powerkok ""] EMG 81 or x2n If you want passive= x2n Want active= EMG 81. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 17,2006 11:21pm - blue ""] well, im guessing you are looking for high output, so ill reccomend these: duncan distortion duncan dimebucker dimarzio evolution dimarzio x2n dimarzio d-sonic dimarzio tone zone dimarzio super distortion rio grande crunchbox bareknuckle warpig but there are huge factors determining which one would be ideal for you. what kind of guitar are you throwing it in? body wood? neck construction? floyded/stoptail? ELjustin nli said:emg 81 in neck pickup is all you need neck pickup? waa? |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 6:58am - fishcakes ""] I didn't get that either. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 6:59am - fishcakes ""] what kind of head do you have? |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 7:58am - anonymous ""] i got an ibanez rg with solid ash body, string through fixed bridge, 3 piece maple neck, and i play through a marshall valvestate vs-100 and 1960a 4x12 cab. the guitar came stock with pickups designed by emg thats all it says, nothing great. i havent been satisfied with my sound everything sounds dry and dead with no crunch, cutting gain, and sustain. it could also be the head and the distortion but i figure i'll try some new pickups because i've never, on a guitar, changed the stock pickups. i dont know to much about pickups so i could us all the advice i can get. |
