For when playing a tune through an office block's plumbing seems like a good idea, the double contrabass flute
(There is also a hyperbass flute which is another octave lower, but there are no good pics)

[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;22695684]Are we talking about the 490/498s, the 57s, the BurstBuckers, what? They seem to come with different pickups depending on whether it's a studio/standard/traditional/custom/whatever.[/QUOTE]
Well based on all your posts so far why not just stick an EMG 60 and 81 in it :v:

Just looked it up, that thing can produce 16Hz :ohdear:

I think it's safe to say he's being sarcastic.
Though I would be interested in knowing just which pickups we're talking about, because if it's the 490r/498t combo I'd just buy, say, this used:
[url]http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Les-Paul-Studio-Silverburst-Electric-Guitar?sku=582657[/url]
whereas if it were the BurstBucker Pros I might just get an Epiphone and put them in it.
I have a shitty guitar and a tiny amp. I never play it though.

The Burstbuckers are a comparative pile of dick, I'd go ahead and say that (in my opinion) Gibson pickups are sickeningly overhyped, and I would gut them out and put the money I could make form selling them towards a set of Bare Knuckles (who have a deserved hype, again in my opinion)

Okay...then I'll assume you meant the basic 490/498s then.
So if you were trying to make something comparable but using Bareknuckles, what would you use?

Erm, I'd go for Mules or maybe the Rebel Yells. Best advice would be to call Tim at BKP, he is the pickup messiah

It's all about coordination
What do you guys think of Ibanez Infinity Humbucker Pickups? I've currently got them in my S series and am thinking of upgrading. Would it be worth it?
[QUOTE=Gman Killer;22724745]Would it be worth it?[/QUOTE]
Yes. Ibanez stock pickups pretty much always suck.

Should do, there's contact info either way. If buying international doesn't sound too appealing for pickups (pretty understandable) check out WCR or Wolfetone pickups since they're based in the States. I haven't tried them but I've heard nothing but good things about both.
How high is your action? Lol jk use lube :v:

Infinity's are pretty wank, you'll hear a difference, but if your amp is a bit shit go for a new one of those first

That's a solid amp, if you're unsatisfied with your tone then look into pickups
[QUOTE=cup-a-soup;22718947]because you don't know where to rub the girl[/QUOTE]
This metaphor kind of dies when if I mention I manage fine with plectrums, at least.
Unless that's walking into a "kinky" joke. (Resisting the urge to say something like "chicks dig the big stubby.")

It's not the idea of buying internationally, I just don't like making $80 phone calls. I'm thinking I'll just post on their forums.
If I were going to buy US I'd just as soon get dem dere EMGs.

One horribly warped bass later...
Someone jsut contacted me and he thinks he might want my Jackson. FINALLY!
God give me the strength the keep the money from this one and not buy anotehr guitar.
Also I'm looking to buy one of those programs that lets you plug your guitar into the computer and then you can have loads of amp models, because I'm not happy with my current amp/pedal setup and I don't want to buy a new amp.
What would you say is the best program for this stuff?
[editline]02:46AM[/editline]
And is the Line6 Pod X3 any good?
I'm thinking the Gretsch Duo Jet is a far more realistic choice for a dream guitar. It's a good £1300-£1500 cheaper.

Rickenbackers are just so fucking expensive, and so fucking scarce.
George is my favourite Beatle anyway, so I suppose it makes more sense in that regard, too.
[QUOTE=lettuce_head;22739815]And is the Line6 Pod X3 any good?[/QUOTE]
It is godlike. Don't bother with amp modelling software unless you have a killer PC, it lags like a bitch. I have heard some decent tones but you still need a good audio interface like the Pod, and you can use that to make your tones anyway.

There isn't really a "best" one.
Guitar Rig has a large array of options, and sounds pretty awesome, but the presets suck ass. Good enough for some bands to actually record with, but it's not better than a real amp by any means.
Amplitube has slightly more "realistic" amp sounds, but the effects and such are kind of assy and it's not as intuitive as GR to set up. You also have to buy a bunch of expansions to get anywhere near the same versatility out of it as GR. Still has it's applications, I've used it and GR alternatively for different amp models before.
I've also heard Waves GTR is good, but I've never tried it and don't intend to because I'm sick of software modeling. Or, rather, for the money I could spend on it just to go "ooh, Mesa Boogie models", I could get a hardware unit.
[QUOTE=lettuce_head;22739815]And is the Line6 Pod X3 any good?[/QUOTE]
From what I've heard done with it, it's amazing. Intending on getting a rackmount of it sooner or later.
