    In need of a new amp.....Just which one is the right one?

I want something that is a lot more aggressive sounding but can still be pretty when i need it to be. David Ellefsons tone on the Rust...

    EMG preamp compatible with Seymour Duncan Blackouts?

    The blackout pots are 25k like emg and most all active pups. I'll double check now while I'm thinking about it. I've replaced all my guitars EMGs with blackouts and they crossover just fine with emg passive electronics but I've never had a preamp to deal with. I'm guessing it'll work with no...

    EMG preamp compatible with Seymour Duncan Blackouts?

EMGs are NOT my cup of tea and I was wondering if the Seymour Duncan Blackouts will work with the EMG preamp. Now I know the BQC controls work with most pickups but the...

    In need of some new pickups. Suggestions?

    Hello Everyone, Lately I've been thinking that my tone on my current PJ isn't quite what I'm looking for and I'm thinking it's time to upgrade the pickups. I'm currently using the Seymore Duncan quarter pounder P and J pickups all passive. I've noticed that the quarter pounders...

    PJ bass wiring help

    I'm in the process of building a new P bass and I was thinking of using a stellartone pot and was wondering if its possible to wire it stacked vol - Stellartone - tone? I really like the idea of using a stellartone in conjunction with a tone pot. Seems like it would add a lot of versatility to...
