any opinions, besides its prob a piece of shit? Im thinking if I gut the pups and replace it with SD or a single EMG at the bridge? I was also thinking about the tone I could get from a blackout pup? anyone? Looks like a knock off floyd trem, but its also locked at the neck and a fake floating trem is betta than no trem? especially for the price! $0 shipping. $325.78

"FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN' BITCH! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ANYWAYS? TALK TO ME LIKE THAT? FUCK YOU. DRAG QUEEN LOOKIN' WHORE- YOU AINT SHIT. YOUR THE FRECKLE TO THE LEFT OF MY BROWN EYE. NOW GO MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL...OH, PUT DAD ON THE PHONE"
Price is cheap enough. If you have the parts to upgrade why not ,go for it!
Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
have u messed around with those blackouts?
Shit man, that looks NICE. Even if it is a knock-off Floyd, still better than a standard synced Trem, hehe.
Go for it.
Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.
No I havn't, but now my interest is piqued!Originally Posted by Big Troubles
Cutting Edge - Blackouts AHB-1 - Seymour Duncan/Basslines
Check out the YouTube comparisons - they do sound more organic than EMGs I kinda think...
As for the guitar - Is this an Ebay item? Too bad you couldn't grind the guy down to $275....
If the worse comes out of it, it'll look kinda cool hanging on your wall...

there is a yellow with black stripes Kramer striker as well.
wolfgangs for $300...zakk wyldes spiral les pauls. under $300.
I dunno, guess I'll update ppl on it. I just ordered it.
just a secure wholesale site it appears
i checked out the blackouts, they sound HEAVY! wow... sounds good but thick. if that makes sense?
bump-t
Checked out dhgate.com. Interesting stuff, good prices.
Some of their stuff is blatant knock offs. But hey, buyer beware...
b-b-b-b-BULLETHEAD!
If you like this type clean-string tone but crank your stuff with dirty pedals, go with as clean a pickup as possible such as the old steadys: Duncan JB bridge, '59, and my personal choices the Pearly Gates, the Alnico-2 '59 and the Antiquity bridge - which I like alot and order them unpotted.
half-potted or unpotted, if they don't squeal I do not pot my pickups.
B-b-b-bonehead.
...The JB is a HOT pickup, hammerhead....contradict yourself much?
It's even listed on their site as "high output", wiki-master...
Seymour Duncan/Basslines
you are correct, Jazz is the one I'm thinking sh-2 not sh-4
The Jazz bridge is supposedly an excellent, highly underrated low-gain pickup for rock...
I think I posted before how I peeled down a sh-2 to 6.1K and the thing just woke up and shook off all the dead midrange like a wet dog's coat.
There's another thread idea I should try this winter.. the Peel Your Pickup Thread about how ditching the inductance shifts the high frequency peaks.
Wonder if ed knows about that site?
secret dude
JB's own!
Pearly Gates come in at a close second (for me)...
I dig Pearly Gates...never tried a JB. I hear they're very finicky about what guitar they're in.
On the Duncan Forum people either love them or hate them...seems to be no middle ground whatsoever...
Jerry Cantrell swears by them, that's a pretty good endorsement, I think...
Ugly junk guitar...
well duh... Its jap scrap. what the fuk you expect for 3 beans dude?
thats why I want to dig out the shit pick ups in it, put some SD's in, change the strings to a nice thin nickel and maybe scratch it up a bit. (looks too new for me)
its mainly novelty, but if i can make it sound like my other one,

bonus
Plus of all the striped guitars, I've liked the (black with yellow) bumble bee the bestest mostest.
Then the double necked yellow with black stripes was second. largo 82 SOLO?
Mine too, BT!
E- Jesus . Playing both sides because he didnt understand the argument in the first place
check out that sight dhgate.com
well mine should be here in a few days, so I'll let you know how it sounds.
its maplewood and rosewood. he confirmed it was a floyd rose trem w/pics. i think alot of this is after market stuff and also an ebay type deal. works like escrow. its a holder. so no money unless i confirm shipment. which is that thingy you sign at the door.
But Im going to make the dude come in and take a seat while I plug this sumbitch in and see what it sounds like. if its SHIT, it goes back in the box and I tell the nice lil man it's the wrong colour.
sound good? I love playing mine. its a nice feeling to know what he was playing and when it was when he was playing it. Its novelty, but its also a really nice fukn gee tar.
Not a bad idea, bro.
I have a JB in the bridge of my "Bumblestein"....swear by it....kicks ASS

nice.
Line6, eh?
STFU, Clay!
Signed the Entire Internet.
i play thru a line 6, with a bad horse 2 pedal. i like the effects there if i chose to use them, but i also like that crunch sound i get from it.
does me good.
not everyone can afford stacks.
Worst case scenario...it will look really cool displayed next to your other one. Black/yellow is my 2nd fav...after the black/white. Makes me sad the original is decaying in a box 6 feet under. Is grave robbing still a viable criminal profession? Every time I think about it all I can do is imagine the un-finished pool scene in Poltergeist. /shudder
$300 is not much. People spend that much on a framed picture, lamp, rug, silk plant to decorate their home. Why not a cool guitar?
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
exactly how i decided.
i spent more on pot last Tuesday. ya know?
i always believed that if you are not doing what you want to do, then you are limited. I hated the idea of being "not good at something".
So i take up hobbies and the guitar has been the best thing I ever could have invested my money on. i love it. girlfriend, dog, guitar, myself, my kids and my bank account. Not necessarily in that order.
Yup....for when I don't feel like wheeling out the Marshall.....
it came in. shitty strings, no name pick up. still played ok. I wired an SD JB and changed my strings to a higher gauge. (wished I didnt- fuckin' "tingy) anyways, turns out the locking nuts at the neck are not completely sunken into the groove of the neck. So.....Instead of paying $200 to have some local guy carve it up and make it fit, I bought a used Fender neck and now I have my own franky, yellow & black monster that sounds fuckin hot! Great stuff. Without changing the neck or fixing it, the low E and A strings were giving off some horrible warpy feedback thing.
Glad I changed it. BTW, the Fender neck/headstock was $60, well used and straight as a fuckin' arrow.
thanks for the JB suggestion!
Now to find a good B & W Fender! Or hey, that explorer? Easy enuff to cut out the tail ala Edward?
I'm cutting the tail on my Explorer this week!
Careful!
Ed didn't like what he got when he cut parts off that guitar.
It's a shame that families should be torn apart by something as simple as....wild dogs
a circular saw??? what would you use?
