I won't ever stop saying Sammet should have kept Edguy alive in place of Avantasia. But yeah, money being money.

Is the Orange noisy btw?

IMVPO Gary Holt stopped looking cool on stage when he dropped this for his Esp

No idea how Nick Johnston somehow fits Mastodon, but he does. Nuno was the Mitch Buchannon of the night. Disturbed singer was surprisingly decent. Ozzy surprisingly alive and kicking.

Uber golemfuck, that was badass.

Depends on the amps you've used. It somehow works with fairly dark - not super muddy - ones. Bright amps are a no-no.

Sand down the neck finish a lil, you'll notice.

I thought PSvane was sorta no-go brand? Pissvane for someone?

Never been a DiMarzio guy, too much mids and not enough bite for me. With that said, I stick with Duncans unless I find a better deal for the price, as Duncans aren't that special as well (at least most of them are not). I had luck with some Suhr pickups, Schecter, EVH and some custom handwound...

Imho it's only good if used as booster, it gives some cool upper mids and doesn't flub. It pairs rather well with Orange amps. But it's still noisy.

Not sure how things are going in the USA, but here in Italy tube amps are going as strong as ever. There's still a relevant usage of modelers, but much less than a couple of years ago, and it's mostly due to short on money players who seek good tones (which aren't as easy to find under 800-1000€...

Yeah, good choice. Another thing to keep in mind is those pickups (some of them at least) are picky with the way you set them up, both the pickup height and the poles position. So if you get one and don't feel 100% satisfied, that's one thing you need to try

I wouldn't say they are "dry" sounding, but definitely articulate with good note definition (though not as extreme as some pickups often used in modern and detuned genres), while still being saturated enough and very cool when playing licks. A SuperD/JB thing is not easy task, the Super D has a...

Make it more interesting, play the JCM800 thru this

The Apo's their most famous pickup I guess, good metal machine. It's not super scooped or an annoying middy mess, just quite balanced, and unlike many modern metal pickups (which the Apo is not, to be honest) it's not a super aggro djenticulate / anemic nails on chalkboard thing, and delivers...

One doesn't necessarily have to love them or care for them, as many high end pickups they don't fit every guitar you put em in. Also, but this is on Schecter, they are not as heavy as the brand fame would suggest... Schecter is mostly known for metal guitars, but their pickups aren't extreme...

Imho they haven't much in common. Anderson pickups are something you either love or hate, very peculiar sounding. I like them. Schecter pickups are sorta DiMarzio muscular low end + Duncan presence and high mids with a grain of BKP definition. If it makes any sense.

I've always likem em, might not be the most sought after stuff around, but IME they are excellent gear. I've played Pasadena (have a Classic in my strat), Monstertone, Apocalypse, Pasadena singles, NJ set.

Explain pls
