Yup, there's no markings on the Peavey save from the logo on the cabinet's handles. The speakers have nothing on them, only some half-unreadable serial number painted on. The amp is a Laney, plenty versatile as far as impedance matching is concerned.

After doing a bit of searching, I found a thread with almost exactly similar circumstances as mine: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=48222&page=1 In the end, I wasn't sure whether or not an ohmmeter would provide an accurate representation of the speaker's impedance. So I have...

Like most folks who've played on an Ibanez RG7, I'm disenchanted with the stock pickups. While not atrocious, the stock pickups were a bit muddy for my tastes. It wouldn't respond to artificial harmonics very well, for example. I've recently scrounged up the money to get some new ones and first...

Wait... so no Western country manufactures vacuum tubes anymore? When did this happen? I'm confused. And hungry.

Per your experience, which would make a more useful pickup in the bridge position? Obviously, I'm looking for something that would work in a rock/metal context while avoiding that excessively scooped Pantera/Metallica type sound. I intend to put it in a late 80's/early 90's Kramer, Floyd Rose...

Barock.

Thought Badasses were designed with P/J-basses in specific? It's a Jazz Bass, fretless. But yeah, I'll probably get it done by a professional unless it's a reasonably straightforward operation, which I guess it isn't since as you pointed out, I'll have to get it set up anyhow.

Got a Badass II for my bass. Is putting in a new bridge something I could do myself without much difficulty (duhh.... screws go in holes?*drool*) or is the fact that I'm even asking this question all the more reason to send it to a professional to set it up? Thanks.

I know this is almost a prerequisite in any guitar forum and gets very obnoxious after seeing it a million times, but I haven't seen it posted anywhere in the first several pages so without further ado... -John Petrucci- So Dream Theater is a generic prog-metal group nowadays that sounds more...

A volume swell/softened attack effect on the guitar... -Rush- La Via Strangiatto (Alex Lifeson's solo) -Opeth- Black Rose Immortal (brief guitar interlude almost right in the middle of the song.) -Eucharist- Floating (early in the song after the intro) -Steve Vai- Erotic Nightmares- around 3:12...

What Rucarlso said. Reverb well-applied, reversed cymbal crashes (volume swell effects in general), delay, and my personal favorite- that thing that softens the attack of the guitar (I'm guessing envelope generator.) ala the guitar solo in Rush's "La Via Strangiatto." Sometimes the most...
