on another EMG related note, i've got a project in the studio right now that i'm co-producing with Peter Wichers.... yes, the recently former Soilwork guitarist. Guess what pick-ups he has used in the bridge position of all his guitars on every Soilwork recording since and including the very first album?..... that's right, EMG 85 bitches. ;).QUOTE]


James , do you know what model of Randall he used on the Natural Born Chaos? that´s one of my favorite guitar tones, it´s killer!
he didn't use a Randall on that album or any other. the guitars on NBC were played through an Engl Savage 100

Man, I hate to further contribute to this thread's off-topicity (I know, not a word), but did he happen to mention what amps/cabs were used on The Chainheart Machine and Stabbing the Drama?

I guess I'm just wierd then. I've thought that 20Hz-450Hz is the lows, 450Hz-950Hz is mids, and 950Hz-20Khz is highs. I mean, thats just me, whenever clients ask for something, "can I get some mid scoop on my guitars?", I'll snag a range between 450Hz-660Hz and make a smiley face, usually that satisfies them. Maybe I should do some research and correct my associations with frequency ranges....

I tend to compare it to how guitar amps work... that's usually how the clients will think as well. Whatever center frequency the 'Mid' knob on their amp is, they'll believe is midrange. I've found on most of the crappy amps I've played in my life that it sounds like the 'Mid' knob is always centered somewhere around 800Hz-1kHz or something. That's just going from my memory and perceived hearing though.. in no way is this an objective fact.

About the postcount... yeah I kinda wrecked that landmark number by making a post right after.. ah well, shame.
