Are most humbucker replacements compatible with each other? Like if I wanted to replace stock pickups with SD or Bare Knuckle, will the wires all connect properly? Sorry I'm not so good with the technical parts. Thanks man.
I'm not good either, but I think each brand has its wiring
any substitute until the abio release? massive tone, synth, dark, creative..
Don't exactly get the question, want me to suggest music? Listen to: Edge Of Sanity - Crimson 2 Radiance - The Burning Sun Enditol - Enditol 7 Horns 7 Eyes - Throes Of Absolution
Not in italy :) italian diminutives are Fra, Franci, Francè, Checco but some close friends call me Frakkio. In english some people say fran or franny which is very weird and ugly to me haha
Is having the tone knob rolled up all the way permanently almost the same as bypassing it?
Almost. You still have something in between the chain :)
yo Fra', stavo pensando di farmi una bella Universe, che mi dici? è uno strumento valido? Grazie in anticipo!
È valido ma le anni 90 (fino al 96) sono superiori alle attuali, e la nuova UV Premium è un po' una cagata secondo me. Un mio amico vende una UV7BK originale se sei interessato!
Was the JP13 kind of a let down in terms of color? The previous ones had nice finishes and ebony fretboards but the 13 looks kind of cheap :/
I love the JP13 finish but I'm not convinced about the whole active preamp thing. 17" radius is ok but I preferred ebony given it's already a warm sounding guitar
what 7 string will replace your old jp12?
You'll see! Not sure if it will be better or worse, just "different"
You're a nice guy , hope we can meet someday ! Cheers !
Hope so too, thanks :)
Are you handy enough to do most of the guitar mods yourself (changing pickups, pots and wiring) or do you get it done at a shop?
I do all my setups but I'm not handy enough (yet) to change pickups and pots myself. I wanna learn though!
Have you seen Wintersun live at Sonic Pump studio videos? It's intense as hell!!!
Fuckin intense, glorious!
che scalatura e che corde usi rispettivamente sulle chitarre a 6 e 7 corde?
12-52 drop C 6 corde, 60 + 10-46 drop A 7 corde. Generalmente non capisco tutte queste domande sulla scalatura, ció che va bene a me non va bene ad un altro, sempre meglio provare da soli e decidere :)
I just want to play my music, no covers anymore, but thanks :) The BOO solo was an improptu, and an excuse for a lesson about it!
Do you have an opinion on the boden strandberg guitars, and do you think getting one through the new company would be a safer bet?
Yes, get one thru AES it will be much better.
I upgraded stock pickups in my guitar with bkp's, but didn't get the pot changed. Is it a noticeable difference/ does it just make it sound a little cleaner?
It's a slight difference, retains a little bit of more open-ness.
Any interest in 12 string guitars?
Never been interested but they surely rule for Diablo-like soundtracks!
What is your writing process, and how do you deal with writer's block?
I just accept it, I cannot force inspiration...I'm not even worried about it since I have already so many fuckin riffs laying around, need to organize ideas haha :)
Is the JP12 the best seven string you've ever played? I'm thinking about ordering one but I won't be able to try it out beforehand.
It's an incredible guitar and among the very best I've ever tried, no worries :)
How do you get your arpeggios so clean sounding with distortion ? Do you mute the other strings while sweeping ?
I practiced! Proper muting is mandatory
What do you think of the ibanez vine/tree of life inlay?
A bit distracting on my eyes when playing :) would never do it on a custom, I just think about steve vai related with it so it's good on jems only imho
