    The Fishman Fluence Thread

    Kse are Indeed bright and tight. My horizon is really dark might be the darkest guitar I had. The stock jb in it was quite fat sounding. Kse evened it quite well. I might give the Adler a go. But the Solar is quite meaty and fat and wiring with evertune cavity might need some work. Hate wiring...

    Solar Guitars by Ola Englund

    Hey. Thanks for the tip. I managed to adjust the high 9s 11s and 16s into zone 3 without much hassle. Its the D saddle tuned to c# that i cant get much Travel to adjust string height. Ill still get a custom 10s set to get a hint more tension. Otherwise very satisfied . Sounds meatier and more...

    Solar Guitars by Ola Englund

    Snagged a used E1.6ET after selling my gibson explorer. So far liking it but evertune is curious. The scale is gibsonish but same gauge gives freaking more tension. Now mounted 9s for Eb tuning but its a little slack... Evertune seems to get tension more even than tune o matic so might need a...

    The Fishman Fluence Thread

    Installed a set of KSE's in my esp horizon nt2. After having modern 7 that were not really my taste must say those KSE are other animals. Each voicing is usable, distinct tone between both pickups and single coil on neck for clean with effect is convincing. My horizon is pretty dark and thick...

    Solar Guitars by Ola Englund

    Also sound wise c7 blackouts were mud fest too much output . Had a km7 too and except this flat d shape neck it was superb. If the 1.7 solar are same quality its worth paying the price for ss frets imho

    Had this atx c7 and a2.7c. Neck felt same c profile . Solar has maple neck c7 mahogany. Playability wise solar was dead Spot on from box. Schecter needed guitar tech job. I prefer the solar. Ss frets once used to them difficult to come back

    6 String Modern Progressive Metalcore Passive Pickup Suggestion

    Without tone snobism i second active pickups. It will achieve better metalcore tone and wont rely much on the guitar Wood quality imho. Double emg 85 to keep it cheap or kse fishman set. Adam d used emg 85 in bridge for years voice 2 is the metalcore thick tone of choice. If your dead on...

    Solar Guitars by Ola Englund

    Will try to post pictures tomorrow and maybe one or two sound files on some tones through various vst and maybe throw some schecter km7 tones to give comparison material. To me the john browne vid on the solar A2.7 is a good sonic display also his ash mayones is played for one riff to compare...

    Solar Guitars - How's their necks?

    JP6 neck is about the thinniest and most narrow neck I played. Nitro wizard second to that except its rounder. For Solar I only had 2, a V2.6 and an A2.7. The V was one of the first series and it was the shorter scale V that is now discontinued. It was a rounded C, wider than an esp horizon...

    Received my A2.7C Double carboardbox, strings detuned, head well secured in foam and protection around pressure points. Saw micro bubble at back and micro chip of paint that made it b stock. Paid 550 usd for it delivered... Neck is thin C but rounded far less painful than my KM7 that has this...

    Jackson DK2M Japan vs newer Pro Series Dinky DK3QM

    Must be the only one having had a bad MIJ one. A slsmg with neck through that sounded dull and thin. Bought a cheap soloist neck through indo made for 150$ with emgs. Replaced the no name bridge and locking tuners sounds huge. Will leave stock emg 81 85 blends well with basswood. But so far...

    Aristides Guitars

    hey aristides users; the thin C neck is comparable to something on the market ? got a KM7 from schecter; but the neck is far too flat and D shaped for me. Fancy an Aristides for end 2021 but dont wanna end hating the neck. Also which pickups blend the best with those 070 ? Are the bkp custom...

    The dumbest amp sim in the world.

    The djentgod free one was not bad. I own the fluff , uberschall and duper ones. Didnt like the prs archon one and except the rectifier based stevie T one , had to tweak alot and disliked the onboard presets more than on other ml sound lab plugins. The fluff ones are very mix ready and more plug...

    Help Me Pick a Bedroom Rig - HX Stomp + Headphones?

    Might add suggestion of buying some Impulse responses . I loved the helix lt tones I got through headphones; better feel than most of vsts and free plugins I use right now but the stock cabs provided in the helix sounded nowhere as good as with a proprer IR. Seacow cabs free ones are ok to start...

    The Fishman Fluence Thread

    . Big trivium fan but the tone is indeed dry and harsh plus he boosts with those tc electronic preamp pedals that seem to accentuate this dry hi-fi sound. As for fishmans i have yet to be impressed. Moderns 7 string did me nothing. Especially the neck that was dull. But some 6 strings set like...

    Anyone Keep Going Back To EMG?

    Emgs long time disliked but that cut and sound .. Tried fishman modern on a 7 string. Better than blackouts but nothing worth the 300$ and hassle of installation. Quick connect such a breeze and easy swaps between neck bridges or between guitars . 57/66 was my favorite and also the neck from...

    Solar Guitars by Ola Englund

    Could someone enlighten me about the 7 strings neck profiles? Same one across the whole line or slight changes depending on the shape? Had a 2.6 V and really liked the neck profile but not the shape. Also it was a first draft with grover tuners so no idea if any changes made as the neck is...
