    NGD!!! Need pickup advice.

    I'd definitely recommend checking out Instrumental Pickups. You can get a set of SFTY3-7s for around 230$. Higher output than the BKPs you listed, but milder than the D-Activator. Very articulate for lower tunings.

    Good to know. Appreciate the responsiveness.

    Replacing A Guitar Nut - GraphTech TUSQ XL

    I'm aware of this. The TUSQ nuts are naturally on the tall/wide side so that you can sand it down to fit your needs, and I'll definitely need to get some of the slots filed down. I'm more concerned with the string spacing, radius, and people's experiences with this nut/other recommendations.

    Replacing A Guitar Nut - GraphTech TUSQ XL

    Apologize in advance if I posted in the wrong section.. I have a Jackson JS22-7 Dinky, and I need a new nut. The stock nut was pretty ass(some slots were cut way lower than others, even on the higher strings), so I tried raising some slots by doing the "superglue & baking soda" trick, then...

    Opinion On Passive Pickups?

    If you were to go the BKP route, then it'd be cheaper to get them from a website like GuitarAsylum (assuming you're from North America). Nonetheless, you'd still be looking at over $300 for a set.

    Quick Pickup Wiring Question

    So, I'm gonna try to install a pickup for the first time today. The guitar is an RG7321, so it has 1 Volume, 1 Tone, and a 5-way selector. The pickup is the Seymour Duncan Pegasus. I know Seymour Duncan has wiring diagrams, but with this being my first time I wanted play it safe and post here...

    Thicker strings and the effect on tone?

    This is true, but the company/type of strings does play a role though. I find cobalt strings to be brighter than nickel, and although a company like D'addario makes great strings, their thicker strings definitely seem to get duller in tone as where Circle K strings seem to do a better job at...

    Guitar Pickup Cavity Routing

    I'm not sure what forum this specifically belonged in(pickups, luthiery, etc.), but I figured it's a pretty simple question, so I'll try posting here. If this belongs somewhere else, feel free to move it Mods. So, my buddy just got some new pickups w/ metal covers for his guitar, but they're...

    Quick advice needed: ESP EC1000 vs Sterling JP100D

    Really depends on what you look for in a guitar. For me, I'd pick the Sterling over the EC1000 in a heartbeat, but that's also cuz I don't get along with EC1000s. I have these massive hands, so I struggle with shorter scale guitars and small frets. I'd also end up switching out the stock EMGs...

    How long did it take to get used to the width of a 7 neck?

    The neck profile will probably play a big role. I found the transition from 6-7 to be relatively smooth, but I had also played nothing but Schecters with the old baseball bat necks, so the Ibanez Wizard neck was a nice change of pace. I'd say it took less than a week to get adjusted to the neck...

    Can't decide what to buy for my first seven...

    Most of the budget 7-strings w/ active pups come with EMG 707s, which are pretty "meh" IMO. Quite a few of the Schecters come with Blackouts, which I'm more fond of, but the active vs. passive thing is up to preference, and it really depends more on the specific pickup, cuz you'll probably find...

    Superior Drummer Help! - Preset Won't Translate (N00b Alert)

    Wow.. Totally forgot I used the electric snare. Thanks dude haha I feel so dumb. I have a bad habit of using 40 because I think it sounds better in GP5.

    Superior Drummer Help! - Preset Won't Translate (N00b Alert)

    I downloaded a pretty nice sounding preset off this forum that uses nothing but the stock SD 2.0 kits. When I hit the drums in the Construct tab everything sounds great. The snare/kick/toms are all punchy and have some body to them. However, when I play the track in my DAW the drums sounds...

    RG321 Pickup Suggestions

    Recently picked up an RG321, and am in the market for new pickups. At the moment I'm a little torn between the Pegasus/Sentient set and the Dimarzio Titans. I'm open to more suggestions, but these are the front-runners at the moment. General Specs: -Mahogany Body -Maple Neck (Wizard II)...

    OD Pedal collection

    Holy shit. You have some awesome pedals man. I'm gonna go ahead and fire some questions at you, so I hope you don't mind.. What do you think of the SD 805, and how does it compare to some of the other "green" pedals in its price range? How are you liking the Slowfire? Seems like it has a lot...

    Voodoo lab pedal power plus vs the competition

    I can't speak for the other brands, but I used the Pedal Power Iso-5 nonstop for over 2 years and never had a single problem. I only sold it cuz I wasn't playing shows anymore and wanted some extra cash. My friend had the Pedal Power 2 Plus for several years and it seemed to serve him well. I...

    Line 6 POD HD Thread

    What exactly is the problem? Is there no IR processing when you playback a recording?

    Line 6 POD HD Thread

    This isn't necessarily true. Yes, the XXL is a rather boomy cab, and the bass can be overbearing if not dialed in right, but I find that it also has a "roaring"-like characteristic that you can't really achieve with any of the other cab models. However, you need to EQ the shit out of it. For...

    Northlane rig run-through

    How you liking that SD 805 Josh? Seems like a rad pedal. Assuming you have experience with other "green" OD pedals, how does the 805 compare? Also G.A.S.ing so hard over all your Strymons. I'd love to get my hands on the El Capistan someday.

    Seymour Duncan Nazgul questions. If you have it, I'd like some input.

    Do you own the Pegasus?
