Why is sweetwater calling me on a Sunday afternoon

[NowYou'rePlayingWithPower]

I couldn’t handle the 8. Maybe someday when the kiddos are older and I have more time to practice I’ll take a crack at it again, but for now it was more frustrating than fun.

I missed it as soon as I sold it though so the search for a 7 string commenced. I’m still not sold on the fishman moderns, but the reason I was so antsy about the strings was that I wanted to swap the pickups around (alnico to bridge and ceramic to neck). I wired up a switch to turn off the onboard boost for the ceramic and am pretty happy with the balance so far.

I'm telling you, Dan; Nazgul/Sentient will give you orgasms.

If I don’t sell my buz7 I may try them out in that because the active mount options are limited. I’m just tentative to put in pickups from the hotter side.
If i do another swap in the standberg it will probably be some PAF7s.

I put some EMG Marty Friedmans in this parts bin guitar and they are scorching to me lol
Looks sweet though

I tend to forget that not everyone is always looking for high output. Think I have it in my head that everyone here is 100% about metal 24/7
But yeah, I think the Nazgul is around 19k. At least the 8 string, iirc.

The bigger pickups will naturally have a higher resistance because of their sheer size, but that’s still pretty hot for me. I occasionally fancy myself a metal player but then I come back to my senses and just knock out some more ZZTop riffs
