My JP came in this week! Still the look doesn't hook me off my feet but the sound does! The piezo is so awesome and the action is just perfect! A guitar to fall in love with for sure :shred: :wub: Thanks for your nice help guys! :wavey:
Like this? :cool: http://cgi.ebay.de/Ernie-Ball-Music-Man-John-Petrucci-Dream-Theater_W0QQitemZ190025309551QQihZ009QQcategoryZ114467QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It's even a sevenstring ;)
Oh, I didn't know that! I just played and tested the EBMMJP with the previous pickups! Thanks a lot for the info! What about D-Sonic, unfortunately I don't know it. How does it sound, what are its characteristics? And: Wich neck pickup does the JP have? Thanks Andy
Hi again, I'm about to buy a Petrucci from a nice guy in the UK. He send me some pictures of the guitar (wich is a new one) and I was just wondering about the bridge pickup. I've never seen a pickup like that in a MM JP so I thought you guys might help me. When asking the guy he told me: "The...
Yeah, you're right! That's why I think about buying one in the US...but I don't know how I'd come off including shipping and taxes... As of lately I've been watching ebay for used MM JPs but there's hardly any that comes with Piezos here. If I go for a Petrucci I wouldn't go without them...
@ Drew: Ok, I've done some bit of thinking. Where would I want to buy that guitar? Here in Germany you have to pay around 2300 Euro for a MM JP in Pearl Redburst and Piezos on board, which is about 2930 US Dollar!!! I think in the US they are selling them for about 1800 Dollar, is that right?
Thank you for all the feedback so far, I love you guys! I will take any suggestion into my consideration. I never spend that much money on a guitar yet, so this time it is really going to be my ultimate main guitar I'm gonna spend a good deal of the rest of my life with. At least I think so ;)...
Hello again :wavey: I'm looking for a new sixstring to be my ultimate main guitar and thought you guys might have some good ideas and suggestions. Here are the features I'm looking for - PRS kind of body style - pickups: Seymour Duncan SH-2 + SH-4 or SH-6 (or similar) - Piezos (if...
Ok there, I finally bought the BB from Eric and I eventually replaced the stock pickups. First of all I want to say what a great guy Eric is. His responses were super-fast and very friendly and the pickup arrived here in no time! So, I definitely want to recommend him. :yesway: The BB...
I was looking for new pickups for a mahagony guitar recently and I went with the Blaze Bridge and Air Norton. I don't have the BB installed yet, but the AN sounds awesome in mahagony and I bet the BB will, too. Have a look into that thread if you like...
Yeah, I canceled my order today :metal: Even if the difference between the BB and BC may not be very significant, I think the swap will be worth it. Now I'm looking for somewhere to get the BC as fast as possible. You can get it for moderate prices over here, but unfortunately it's not available...
Ah, cool. So you're probably the German-Irish Consigliere of some Italo-American mafia family, right? Just like Tom Hagen from "The Godfather" :bath: That is absolutely the best and most exact description of what I'm looking for sound-wise. That finally nails it! :banana: Once again...
Grüß Gott then ;) and Prost :cheers: Where exactly are you from? Do you live in the states or do you study there or something? I think I know what you mean. It makes me lean towards the BC even just a little bit more. I guess I may like that vocal sound to the mids and while I like...
Thank you, I did a search here and: yes, I think the D-Sonic is definitely an option:yesway: Maybe I would want to swap the BB for the BC then? It hasn't been shipped yet. Distortion is cleary more important to me than cleans (I guess the AN will help deliver pretty decent cleans anyway). The...
Never heard about that one! Some info anywhere? I just haven't been that much of a pickup whore yet :rolleyes: I see it's time to change that immediately, at least a little bit :flame:
Ok, I finally ordered a Blaze Bridge. I was a bit torn between the Blaze Bridge and the BC but eventually settled for the BB. Shipping will take a week at least. I will keep you updated as soon as the pickups are installed. One short question out of curiosity: is there a big difference between...
TheRiverDragon, did you get advice from Mayzan? I've had the same problem with my regular 2027, .010's and 3 springs, until I put in two additional springs. Made me wonder a lot back then since the attatchment for the springs wasn't equipped for any additional springs.
I just saw that Eric is selling Blaze pickups as well as Blaze Customs :eek: Those are hard to get by over here. But what exactly is the difference between a Blaze (bridge) and a Blaze Custom, and wich would I want to go for? Argh, and one more question, do I need an F-spaced bridge-pickup...
