Fuck dude! When you told me that you didn't have it that clean I didn't think you mean this. Great job man!

epic, a pic of my vid on swabs' photobucket

parametric equalizer

lol

This one was good BTW, the damn parametric eq is driving me crazy.

 

[marfal66]

that was not a joke lol, i bet i can eliminate the wah sound within seconds with a parametric eq.
that's one of an equalizers purposes actually..

but with all the shit he described, i wonder if he ever tested it before buying it, now he's doing the same with the invader, i'd say keep the pickup and go practice.

No I didn't test it, that's why I bought it Also I had the cash

The wah sound isn't a big matter tho.

How the fuck would you test a Seymour duncan blackout before buying it?

Name one guitar that they come stock in, and you cant say Alexi

It's version 2 Have never seen a guitar in stock with it.

It just came out when I got it

If I can't test it, I wouldn't buy it, it's that simple.

Well it has this good chug sound

It's a good pickup, it is, but sometimes it sounds a bit sterile. But I guess that's because it's active.

Wait... how do I "test" pickups? Just in store ask to test guitars equipped with said pickup or what? I've only ever used the standard pickups on the two guitars I've owned.

 

[Ensi]

Also may I add some pickups sounds vastly different in different guitars.

 

[marfal66]

whatever guys, go to a shop and grab some guitar with that pickup, go to friends, let people with decent gear record, but not with a camera of a fucking toneport, whatever, but not like i herd alexi has blackouts, lets buy that shit.

ofcourse you don't know how it will sound in your guitar but you have an idea, it will not be a hell of a difference

 

[The Emptier]

im not a fan of the blackouts, my friend put some in his warrior and it was all bassy and just not to great sounding

 

[Works0fheart]

If you want a really nice high gain passive pickup or just in general a good pickup, the dimarzio x2n, D-activator, and evo's aren't too bad.

The X2N is my personal fave, but with higher gain amps it's a little too much hiss.

But hey if it's good enough for Chuck it's good enough for me =]

yup, I can vouch for this. Ensi, if you want good passive pick ups, go for the D-activator. good clear sound and still heavy + crunchy.

why the fuck does it have shiny in-lays? It looks really hot otherwise.

 

[eveningninja]

I actually like the metallic/shiny-ish inlays. Gives a kind of dirty feel to how it looks

 

[Mystique1721]

no, it looks like something malibu barbie would wear around her neck.

 

[eveningninja]

BUBBLE BOY

 

[Lowberg]

they are perloid inlays, pretty much shitty plastic inlays, the binding is pearloid too

yuck

 

[eveningninja]

Ooh, scalloped frets. I thought those were only included in his CS guitars.
