I am planning to swap 2 pickups from passive to EMG. But I like to have my bridge pickups without a tone control. Is it possible to wire a single master volume + neck only tone control with the solderless kit? Here's what I came up with, I'm just not sure if this will work since the tone...

Bump

I have a TC Electronic Polytune clip and it often doesn't detect lower notes. On my low A string I just hit the 12th fret harmonic and tune the string... easy.

I keep all my electrics out on wall hangers, even the expensive ones. Been there for years even in winter. So far no weird stuff has happened. Might be the thick poly finish :) My acoustics I keep my #1 in the case and #2 on the wall hanger with a humidity meter. In my experience I play more...

This would be a nice addition to my ESP collection but I've only seen one and sadly it has been sold before I could fund it :( ESP (Standard) Horizon-III see thru pink

Yes they were always expensive. I have a CS set and a Jug set in a guitar that I have sold. For my newer purchases I wanted to see the current BKP lineup but then I decided the higher price wasn't worth it for me. Sure a BKP set sounds arguably better/different than EMG or Fishman but the...

300 pounds ~~ 352 euro + 19% VAT = 418 euro + shipping that's a hard pass for me. Seems like BKP is pricing themselves out of the market rofl.

Must be blackmachine.. just a basic guitar with a polarizing headstock design and magical fairy tone at a magical price point :) Also in terms of parts, definitely Hipshot. They make decent products but I'm not gonna swap all my parts to Hipshot for the sake of getting a Hipshot.

I also tried a Babicz tom replacement and it totally killed the sustain of the guitar.. not sure why this happened but it did :(

Uhh on most cabs with 2 jacks one is for parallel and one is for series? What does the Vader manual say?

Can't relate since my 6ers are 42mm and my only 7 string is 45mm so I barely feel a difference :) Once owned a 48mm Ibanez and that felt uncomfortable swapping back and forth with a 6 though.

For 1500 bucks no, for anything above that it would bother me enough to send it back lol

Oh, bummer. Could've sworn I saw a vid of Keith Merrow where the Fishman rep adjusted some settings and the pups sounded different in the video. So in 2022: build to order Fishman™ pickups :)
