I feel there are many thread asking about Fishman pickups, i thought one place would help a lot of people have their questions answered / clear up any misconceptions. I'm not being paid nor am I affiliated, I was just on the fence for so very long and it would have really helped me to have all of this information in one place. Not just for myself to answer but other owners as well, I see...

A few years back I bought my first Jackson and I did it right with buying a used USA Soloist. I loved it. The red finish and everything about it was just so fuckin awesome.

Today I was using it through my Orange 2x12 with V30s and I was definitely unimpressed, took everything I liked about that amp and made it thinner and decidedly woofier.

In contrast, when I ran my Savage 120 through the Orange cab, it sounded tight as hell. I was so impressed with the tone, super tight, aggressive and focused. Impossibly smooth and polished, while also sounding angry and nasty.

Short summary:

- unique instruments
- able to choose woods - they will send pictures of their actual top woods to you, so you can choose a flame/burst/etc top that is to your liking
- other options are colors, PUs, Trem
- supposed to be a step up compared to their J-Custom series(more exclusive)
- must have the tree of life inlays...

Looks like a hybrid between the singlecut BTB and a Strandberg. It's also fanned fret.

EDIT: Also, the bevel craze is real.

I searched and was surprised to see there's no actual thread on them, there's only a few NGDs.

I thought I'd post it in the ERG subforum, since they do make 8 strings, even though I'm only into 7 strings.

But anyways, what's everybody's opinion on them? The Arium/composite material and the fact all reviews seem to be glowing has me very interested, but honestly I like a little more options/ergonomics with it, at the very least having a multiscale option for the 7 string.

First and foremost, I am NOT a bass player. I’m a (very marginal) rhythm guitarist with about a bazillion semi terrible song ideas in his head.



I HAD been using an Ibby SR4O5QM tuned to drop Ab as a songwriting tool to facilitate my terrible ideas.....but I just HAD to have that extra high string to play two or 3 notes every 18 months or so, and traded down to a GSR206SM.

YES, I knew it was a GIO.

YES, I knew it was pretty much as “entry level” as it...
