the new Niklas guitar

[Dafne]

I've seen in "Lost to Apathy" that Niklas has a black Ibanez IC 300.Do you know if it has stock pick-ups?I have the same guitar (of course not custom!) and i love it for the clean sound,but the distorted is a lil bit weak in my opinion...anyway i didn't know he got it.

 

[Caotico]

As far as I know, it's the original pick-ups. Not 100% sure though.

 

[Naku ist krig]

What means the term "stock pick-ups"?

What means the term "stock pick-ups"?

Stock is what the manufacturer originally puts.

 

[Siren]

and what is "pick-ups"?

 

[Dafne]

pick-ups are the coils (they look smth like little boxes) between the bridge and the neck of a guitar.they are settled down the strings.

 

[rahvin]

i thought they were a kind of truck or van.

 

[MP-AKK]

If I'm not mistaken, the Ibanez has been used during tours and it has been listed on the site under the Archetypes for atleast 2 years now.

and what is "pick-ups"?

What Dafne wrote plus this;
"To produce sound, an electric guitar senses the vibrations of the strings electronically and routes an electronic signal to an amplifier and speaker. The sensing occurs in a magnetic pickup mounted under the strings on the guitar's body."

@Dafne: nevermind (typoing and talkin shit)

@rahvin: no silly! The van-truck-car-mobile -thing is called two-pack.

ooh! and it was killed by gangbanging thugs at some point in the late nineties, right?

 

[Naku ist krig]

@rahvin: No! The guys you´re referring now are 6-pack and his older brother 12-pack - they both died when those "gangbanging thugs" tore them apart in the late nineties , or so.

Yes, I've had it since 2002 or something. I'm actually thinking of selling it in the near future, so if someone wants to buy a genuine piece of metal history (ahem), just get in touch via niklas@darktranquillity.com.

@Caotice-whatever! : Hey noobb! R U seeing us selIing/advertising 0ur weird 1tems thourgh this forum, huh? Plus i Am sure that its stolen anyway and Um haS strict policies when IT comes to sell1ing stolen items U brat!

 

[Dafne]

MP-AKK yeeeeeeeeees u'r right!in the archetype he wrote that info!dunno why i didn't notice it!
anyway i haven't see any Nicklas pix with that guitar!(actually i've never seen DT on tour!!! )
i'm interested in those pick-ups because i'm about to change the one close to the bridge (to have the distorted sound with more "gain") but at the same time I love the clean sound of the guitar and i'm afraid to waste it.
anyway so many ppl which have that guitar change its stock pick-ups so I was wonderin' if Niklas did it.

If i hadnt just bought an old Model of Herman Li's Guitar Id probably bid in. The only guitars I ever get are Ibanez, and by some cruel twist of fate I dont like Ibanez anymore. Fast necks but the ones Ive got take too much maintainence and have faults that are too major to ignore (One has a floyd rose that when whammied stays in the possition you stretched it to . Ill fix it one day).

It seems that half of Finland kills these fellas over and over again during the weekends, sometimes even during the week.
There was a guy called 6Pak in some show yesterday. That just about represents how bad it was.

So we needed 17 hours to turn this thread very off-topic?
