Asian parts are fine with me. Your pickups get great reviews in this forum The pickup demo videos you post on YouTube are impressive. I know that you insist on excellence in your pickups.

A couple more thoughts on Gibson pickups. Slap a short Alnico 5 into a 490T and you get a T-Top-ish tone but with more balls than a standard T-Top. Very fiesty pickup with that mod. I don't like the stock 490R/498T set, but a very good mod for that set of pickups is to simply exchange the...

Another vote for the 490T. Very underrated pickup. I almost always swap pickups but I had an SG with a 490T in the bridge and never removed it. It was killer. 490T's also sound great in Strats. Also, if you want a T-Top, just get a used 490R, take out the stock magnet, which is Alnico 2, and...

Click bait text incoming! Look at the amp head on the lower left. As far as I'm aware, no production 5150 looks like that. Is it just cosmetic? Or is EVH Gear trying to make an amp that Joe will play instead of the one being prototyped by 3RD Power? Or is it something else? Hmm...

This one is my favorite Hook tune.

I don't know if I should keep it and have to deal with servicing it eventually and I don't know if it makes sense to learn the old technology that the M1R is based on. Korg makes software that emulates the M1. Maybe I should get that instead.

Congrats! A friend of mine died a few years ago and his family gave me his musical gear, including a Korg M1-R. I don't play keys and it's old, but it sure does sound good!

I get a kick out of reaction videos. It's cool to see people hearing the mighty Zep for the first time and losing their minds. LOL

Yep. John Bonham's Ludwig Speed King bass drum pedal was squeaking on that track. Everyone tells me it's there. I don't hear it and I'm glad because then I'd never UNhear it! LOL

Revenge is one of the best Kiss albums EVER. Live shows from that tour are amazing! That album should have gone through the roof and sold millions.

Alive 1 - All of 'em Alive 2 - Some of 'em LOL (I was bummed when it came out because I think it's way too polished.) To me, these soundboard concerts blow Alive 2 out of the water: Love Gun tour. Cow Palace, San Francisco. Raw AF, high energy, and they're playing their asses off. Rock and...

I like it the way it is. Marc's fine.

I figured a gear meme thread would be fun.

Thank you for that post!

Ack! I realized that I could search the internet. DERP. Still, I'd like your input on these pickups. Thanks!

I remember hearing about a guy in the black metal scene who murdered someone. Yikes!

Is Euronymous the guitarist in Mayhem?

Listening to "Freezing Moon" right now. I can do without the vocals and black metal isn't my thing, but those are killer guitar sounds. Thank you!
