You seem to know your stuff

Thinking about picking up some LW-MUST's, really diggin' the Livewire (active JB/59) sound. Just can't find enough clips anywhere!

New speakers! Or even a new cab

I havent heard the livewire pickups, but with EMGs, IMHO, I think the sound from the 5150 and XXX can be somewhat too compressed.
Maybe its just my preference, or something but it becames so squishy and flat.
My bandmate uses a XXX and when he uses his Explorer with the original R490 (or what they are called) Gibson pickups, it sounds more alive to when I use my guitar with EMGs into his amp.
Maybe It has to do with the guitar itself also, (Mahogany vs Alder) but if I were you I would try them out on a guitar in a store through a 5150 before you buy them.
Although I have heard that the Livewire shold be better than the EMGs in this regard.

I'd say a pair of V30s for your 5150 combo!

Give it to me.

Definately pair of vintage 30's. I couldn't find decent tone from those original sheffield 1200's.

Seriously... for a 200$ down payment... You can sponsor a hungry guitarist in Finland

 

[JMarz]

Shit, I'm hungry too bro. Are you feeling the downpour of our economic depression here in the states all the way over there in Finland?
