Not an answer to your question exactly, i don;lt know the exact pickup models. But i went through a similiar search recently, here are some additional things to consider: I played an EPI gold top 56 reissue thing (throuhg a epi valve junior) and loved the tone, played well, totally screeched...

Just chiming in to say these are really nice, and that is a good price. I have the smaller version, and if it weren't for the fact that i don't need it, i would trade up for this one. Pre's are not bad at all, definitely better than most entry level mixers. Daav

sell two of the 58s and pick up a beta52 and never look back. Daav

Funny this thread just popped up, i ended up finding an SG classic used at a great price. Trouble is it is in NYC and i had to have a friend pick it up, so until i go to the city, she ships it, or she visits (weeks away) i get to be happy that i own, but can;t play my new guitar Daav

What do you do to quiet the kick? Daav

Never hurts to look at used guitars for a budget entry intrument. Nylon string guitars are generally very easy to play (and learn on) and have a nice warm tone that is reallypleasing. They are not loud, and don't have the ability to stick out like a steel string would. if you play a bunch of...

I'm in worse shape, got my mics and the mobo on my computer died the next day. Just rebuilt it last night, and have a 6 AM flight tomorrow. Feels like i will never get to try these out with some recordings. They sit in their fine cases taunting me the whole time. Daav

keep an eye out for some older japanese knock offs. I picked up a 70's Vantage 335 used from this board for barely nothing, put new tuners and a setup and it plays really well. I may upgrade the pups, but the stock ones actually sound pretty nice as is. total cost < $200. Daav

If it isn't a high fret, and you can't get the buzz to go away with raising the saddle a bit, or any of the other wise items mentioned above, look to the fact hat you went to ahigher gauge of strings. I have a strat that I had set up with higher gauge strings, and the neck was adjusted, but I...

Got my mics today and they look awesome, great packing and fantastic cases etc. Can't wait to get home and try these out. Daav

Great feedback folks. Went and played an Epi gold top '57 reissue with P-90s yesterday to whet my apetite, sounded fantastic. Must save money, must save money. Daav

I have decided i really like the sound of P90s and I am going to start looking at something with them as my next guitar purchase. I have wanted an SG for a while as well, so i am sort of leaning toward the SG classic, but i donl;t know how they are considered as far as quality of build goes. I...

kick: D112 or Beta52 Snare: SM57 or audix i5, same for toms (if needed, i don't mic toms, I just use the overheads for toms_ Overheads: MXL 603s work well for me (little bright and need to be placed jsut right), as have niant MSH-01 Then look for the thread with the recorderman technique. I...

very clear,. thanks!

Can anyone tell me the timing/process once they got the shipping request? I got mine on the 17th, paid it, but no fed ex # or tracking info. I am not crazy impatient, but with the holiday, and needing to sign, it would be good to make sure i am around to recieve it. Daav

Well the update is that the guy says he will refund my cash minus the relisting and pay pal fees. Decent guy, he earns is positive feedback from me this time around. Daav.

Yeah for those who are pointing out that the guy wan't being decieptful, and it was a buyer beware situation, i understand. I am hoping that he will be accomodating, but it isn;t like my hand was forced, or he actually claimed it was a standard. Either way, i didn't get a horrible deal, and I...

Well, yes I did bid impulsively, but not entirely blindly. I have a stock search for SGs: gibson SG -epiphone -faded - special that i use for browsing. Since i normally am only looking at the "real" SGs my guard was down. The pics do show some wood grain, and it has cresent inlays which i now...

Yeah, if he is willing to give me my $$ back, i would be willing to split paypal and the listing fees to make it go smoothly. Daav

I am hoping that the seller will understand where i am coming from, i ~should~ be able to get my money back if needed, but i dont; really want to go through all that if it isn't needed, and i would rather jsut put my $$ into the gear i DO want. THanks for the input, Daav
