I've been doing a lot of experimenting with pups lately, bought a few brand new and a few on the used market. I got a couple of Dimarzios, one Duncan and I just snagged a BKP Nailbomb (camo distress, Alnico V), found it in local ads. I do my experimentations in 3 guitars: Ibanez Jet King II (I...

I've got this RG421 that I snagged for real cheap about a year ago, I think I paid less than 200$ for it. There was an EMG 85 in it (bridge) and no pickup on the neck position. Recently, I removed the 85 to put in another guitar of mine (ESP) and I thought about getting cheapo pups and try to...

Educate me on music stores in NY, what to avoid, what not to miss. It'll be my first time in NY, I'll be staying at the Days Inn - North Bergen, seems to be about 20 minutes from Manhattan. I'll be there from friday dec 3rd to sunday dec 5th. I'll probably be busy as hell and I won't get much...

I'm in 2 bands; one is more classic rock, the other is more metal oriented. My main rig is fine (Fender Hot Rod + stomp boxes) for the classic band but does not make it for the metal band. I tried several stomp boxes supposed to "bring the brootz" but each time it was "meh"... On my board you...

I'll start, it's a 2004 Standard Faded, Burstbuckers Pro pups:

I'm thinking about getting one as a beater guitar. I know it's gonna be cheap but are they generally reliable? I'm interested in the faded one. Talk to me about the stock pups, the pros and cons, etc. It got great reviews but I wanna have feedback from guitarists that actually played the damn...

I mean the Ozzy show was hilarious but the Gene Simmons show, I dunno man. The dude is a legend and all, but why the tv show? He doesn't need money, so I assume he does it for fun. And everything looks terribly staged. Shannon Tweed had too much botox injections.

Someone gave me a cheap one (Behringer DD400), it works fine when in front of the amp - with some hiss - but in the fx loop, it sucks tone badly, but no hiss. Tried it in different positions in my fx chain with the same result. It's either I don't know how to use it or the pedal is a piece of...

I'm thinking about mixing a V30 and a Greenback in a 2x12 cabinet. Anybody here tried this kind of mix - or the same situation with different speakers (Eminence, etc)? I'm thinking as long as both speakers have the same impedance, I can't see a problem with that mix. And I don't play loud, so...

Yes, I admit it. I could even add "low to mid gain addict". I respect those who dig the high gain amps and stuff, but since I got my Express 5:50, I am asking myself why did I ever consider playing with LESS gain before that? I find myself using the crunch more than anything. I like it dirty...

This topic has probably been covered a zillion times but hey, I'll ask anyway... Anybody using one? I'd like to get some overdrive/boost pedal to use as a "third" channel on my Express 5:50. Thing is, I need to clean channel to be clean, no crunch or breakup at all and I also need my dirty...

Are there any Express 5:50 users in here? Some label this amp as a "blues" amp, some claim it can do the classic hard rock stuff easily...

Anyone here owns/owned one? I'm talking about the Vintage Club 50 2x12 combo (tan or beige, all tube). Is it just like the Peavey Classic models? I used to own a Classic 30 and I ended up selling it because it wasn't "mean" enough, but boy it was a good sounding amp. I'm looking to get a smaller...
