I was more heavy handed earlier on, not to the point of banging stuff out of tune, but it was at the expense of some dynamic control and finesse when that was required. One thing that I've noticed that improves my overall dynamics and control is practicing unplugged. It may not be particularly...

I just made the mistake of googling it.

These are killer pickups. I’m surprised they’re still here.

Ghost Reveries is what got me into them. It's such a great album. I really gained an appreciation for Black Water Park with their Live at Albert Hall DVD. I wore that DVD out when it came out lol. Ghost Reveries and Black Water Park are my favorites from them.

I love the look of that. Such a great top and finish.

Totally agree with 75's sounding awesome with the right set up. Admittedly, I was a "hater" back in the day haha. Then I heard them with the right amps and my tune changed. Now I have an old JCM800 slant cab with a quad it sounds killer. They seem to benefit from a little more volume than say a...

Pretty soon they'll be asking buyers to pay their capital gain taxes if they turn a profit :LOL:

With what your describing I’d first try moving the cab to a different spot in the room. Even if you’re close miking there is still a possibility you’re getting some reflections coming through and washing out the tone. You can also make a tent out of some blankets and another mic stand to help a...

Lol good point. Yeah I’d be curious to hear any rig details. It’s a great tone.

Not to derail since it’s not really old school, but do you have any idea what rig Heathen used on “The Evolution of Chaos” album? I always thought that was a great tone as well.

I tried it for a while in one of my cabs. I went for the Bogner approach and just put it on the back panel. I think it was like 1.5” or 2”. At first I liked it. It made the cab a little darker. It seemed a little tighter in some frequencies too. However, I noticed this came at the expensive of...

I had a J Custom years ago. Probably '07 or '08. It was definitely a high quality guitar. Nice fretwork, super stable neck, and overall great fit and finish. I ultimately sold because the neck was too flat for my tastes. I had a Suhr Modern not long after that. It's hard to say why, but the Suhr...

I had a 4x12 get jacked-up by UPS a year or so ago. It was standard new cab packing that you'd expect. It clearly had been dropped on one of the cab's joints. It was still in one piece, but the wood was dented in some spots at the joint. Honestly, it looked like it had been dropped from high or...

I talked to John a few months back about a 4x12 and he gave me the same $400 shipping quote. It totally caught me off guard. He mentioned he over packs them, so it kicks them into a different size bracket. That’s why it’s so much more. You can go in Reverb right now and find a new Mesa oversized...

Man I bet that show was killer!

I love watching clips of Eloy. Dude hits so hard his ghost notes probably have more impact than some dudes' rim shots :LOL:

If you already have a Custom/'59 set there, you should at least give them a try. If you hate it, no loss other than the time to swap it. If you love it, you didn't spend any money on something else. I'm new to the Custom, but I like it quite a bit so far. It's not super high output, but you...

Thanks man. I’ve only used it in D standard, but that’s cool it works well on the baritone scale and lower tunings.

?

Thanks man. Yeah, I can nerd out on boutique pickups with the best of them, but I’m definitely not mad at this SH-5 lol. I also have a JB in one of my other guitars and it sounds killer in there.
