Re: Who the hell sells it????

Sorry to hijack...but NOTP, what DiMarzio is that bridge pickup?

Re: Who the hell sells it????

It's a DiMarzio Super 3. I'm soon going to swap it (along with the Duncan Hot Rails) for my APC pickup set that I ordered a few months ago. Why'd you ask? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That's how I set mine, NOTP - 2 sets of stairs [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I might try Chuckaroo's idea on something - maybe my Agile Les Paul that is basically a Les Paul Standard at Korean prices [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

Another example of the two sets of stairs thing on my ESP/Edwards:



Newc, was it you that said you used to line up all the saddles when you were younger so that it would look uniform? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Actually, I find the staircase scheme to look quite attractive! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Just noticed the brass baseplate and darkened allenscrews [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. I'm the only one so far I know who mixes Duncans and DiMarzio's, aside from you. Although, that is soon to end. Gotta find a good deal on an SL or RR. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Who the hell sells it????

I have no problems with mixing pickup companies. Probably the most common instance of this I've seen so far is the addition of an EMG-81 to the bridge position of some guitars, leaving in the stock pickups (usually passive). I generally prefer to keep fully-active or fully-passive, but mixing companies within each pickup impedance is a-ok by me. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Actually, this guitar came to me that way with the mixed pickups. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Who the hell sells it????

How do you mix it between actives and passives? Do you just leave the stock pots in, and have the knobs work more like an on/off switch for the EMG's, or what?

Re: Who the hell sells it????

I think you have to have separate pots, 25K Ohms for the actives and 250K/500K for the passives. Several topics have been made asking about mixing passives with actives. I just think it's easier going one or the other. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I've seen quite a few people with their saddle evenly spaced and they claim it's intonated. Joe has also posted a few pics of guitars that had "odd" intonation, but he swears it's good [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Didn't you notice that all the saddles were in a straight line on the Floyd I sold you, also? That thing was in perfect intonation even when I went from E to Eb to D.

Does anyone know if the one that fits OFR fits the Schaller trems as well? (I know they're both made by Schaller, but the design is slightly different...) [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

I already said the different trem type keys that the set comes with, model1. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Who the hell sells it????

nice post chuck.

i'll keep that in mind.

when mixing emg's and passives, you have 2 options to maintian good sound.
1) 2 volume pots
2) the emg ps2. using the trem pot to balance the output of the pasive with the emg. (when i had this set up i left the ps2 closed up in the control cavity after i set the level to match the volumes. and just left the switch on)
