yea my guitar's back

but something's still wrong with the tone

i'll record something tomorrow and show you

i might need to buy new pickups which cost 200 dollars

You should replace them anyway, You looking at actives or passive P-ups?

Knife the Hedgehog Says: (Mar 14th 2010, 6:28AM)

i'm going to replace them

well when i get 200 dollars

and probably exactly what i have now which are emgs

i really do not want to pay 200 dollars for new pickups though

you can't fix them without sending them in and i'm not entirely sure that's the problem yet

tekkentool Says: (Mar 14th 2010, 9:28AM)

Not worth fixing, just get an 81 and an 85 in there. Real EMG's.

Problem being if you what you have aren't already actives you'll need to rout it out. do you nee dto put a 9V battery in you guitar?

Knife the Hedgehog Says: (Mar 17th 2010, 4:49AM)

yea i'll have to do the switching out of batteries and shit, i know the process

and there are emgs in there, an 81 and an 85, they're just ibanez stock pickups which aren't the greatest quality

i'm planning on seymour duncan blackouts, i just need to go to a music store near me to test them out

Check out this

This comes with an 18 volt mod kit installed, this makes EMG's sound twice as good :)

this is basically what i want

but yea the reason i'm not going to stick with emg's is because it's got that heavier metal tone but it's just a little too heavy for my liking

the blackouts, according to reviews i've read, are smooth but heavy and have a real nice crunch to them which almost perfectly describes what i want

but i'll definitely try and actually check out that link and try to find those in a music store near me so that i can test them out

i don't wanna waste almost 200 dollars, y'know?

My brother has a schecter C-1 ATX with blackout 6's, and an agile interceptor with blackout 7's. They're good pickups

they're twice as hot as emg's but they have
half the noise floor, and they do amazing clean tone considering their status as ridiculously high output pickups. You won't be disappointed with them.

well in like 5 months when i get them, i'll tell you how they are

alsoooo

i'll still sample with my guitar now it's just the tone is really wanky in my eyes

Just got a new guitar myself, emg 81/85 combo. sounds really good actually. that means i can compare them easily. if you're a really really good player, go for the blackouts. but otherwise get the EMG's. if you fuck up in the slightest the blackouts will show it and then some. The EMG's are a lot more forgiving because they're not so sensitive. 18 volt modded EMG's will sound about as good as well.
