@ you guitarpro freaks:

Is there a way to find out how long your guitarpro arrangement is? Is there a function for this?

 

[umosay]

File > Export > Midi

yeah, but I want to know if there's another way that you can view the lenght without converting it to MIDI

Hey guys I was hoping to have some input here. I have an edwards v and I really dislike the sound of the EMG 81 thats in it. Can you guys make some recommendations on a pickup (preferably passive) that would work well by itself in the guitar? Something with high output and gain and all that stuff, not too chunky, really clear, with good mids and that would work well for soloing too. One of my favorite guitar tones is Jari's off of Iron (a good example is the beginning of Slayer of Light). I know it really depends on what the guitar runs through of course, but thats a tone I really like. So yea any tips would be great One pup that was recommended to me was the Seymour Duncan JB. Any thoughts?

Most people tend to whack JB's in Mahogany guitars. Is your V Mahogany or Alder? I'd probably go the Duncan Distortion or Duncan Custom for Alder, then a JB for Mahogany. The Distortion has high mid, treble and gain and not so high bass so I think that might be perfect. That's what I'd try anyways. might wanna find out what Jari used though on that album if you want a similar tone.

lol....whooops. i just realized he used a guitar with emgs in it. OH WELL lol...
<--pwnd
(btw its alder)

You mean KFK? It doesn't matter...EMGs are horrible Get SD!

 

[deaddreams]

Even though I don't like EMG's much, some of my favorite tones recorded ever were with EMG's.

I have an edwards arrowhead and I think the EMG-HZ also sounds like shit.
I'm thinking about switching to SD distortions but do you think its a good idea with the booster?

No wonder, cause EMG HZ's are passive, thus even worse than the regular active EMGs.

 

[the phenom]

SDs passives are awesome.

 

[Kattana]

Bingo...

I'm a bit disappointed in the Roope signature. I wish it was the black with gold hardware and the banana headstock. I'd probably end up buying that one.

What's wrong with this one?

Yep.

That one looks cheap IMO.

 

[SteveMCsteve]

^ I don;t really like the headstock too much

 

[marfal66]

that one is shit
22 frets, bolt on neck
dunno the specs but i don't expect the wood and the pickups to be good
and never liked the shape and the headstock anyway

 

[children of COB]

Hey,
has anyone treid the Chuck Schuldiner stealth yet?

Nope, I think it's not out still, they have announced it and showed at Namm and stuff but still isn't a reality. I'm higly interested in it tho. Only fixed bridge guitar I'd consider taking.

What's wrong with this one?

Where to start? 22 frets, bolt on neck,... I think that's more than enough to get the other first although I prefer the banana headstock (which BTW is not the one that this guitar has).

 

[Kattana]

that one is shit
22 frets, bolt on neck

oh right, i take it you've played it if it's shit?
how am I supposed to know if Cliff needs 24 frets, and some bolt ons are good

 

[children of COB]

^Only Ibanez and Caparisons IMO, I hate all other bolt on guitars, they feel so uncomfortable.

 

[sir Royal Eddie]

What's wrong with this one?

Is that guitar even available for sale in the U.S. or anything and where did you see it at?
