EMG pickups
Are they worth the money and the hassle? (By hassle i mean the batteries)

A lot of people on this board swear by them and wouldn't use anything else. I've never played an EMG equipped axe.

The story gets even more sad! Most of the Ouija Board models had a crecent moon, and star inlays, mine had skull and crossbones, which I read were early prototypes.....TK wrote:That guy got one hell of a deal off of you,retard!Jefferino wrote:Sold it on Ebay for $1000 for a Warwick bass.

Doesn't that shit suck? Ironically enough I bought it at a pawnshop in '98 I think for $900....I guess thats why I found the logic in selling it for $1,000...
the guy who bought it from me on ebay gave me feedback that said "Thanks for selling me a true piece of american rock history!"
My balls sunk to the floor...lol live and learn i guess

Yea EMG Pick-ups are good i suppose, but not the best pick-ups in the world. They'll only be good with certain guitars. Eg, Sticking in a pair of EMG's on a Fender stratocaster aint gunna do fuck all to the sound, because the Fender strat isnt powerful enough, but put them In an Ibanez, Jackson or a Jeff Hanemann signature, then you'll get the best quality sound. Semour Duncan pick-ups howver, go with nearly every guitar. i've seen them in Fender's before, oh and Dimebag used a Double Humbucker Semor Duncan pick-up aswell. so if u want good pick-ups for your guitar, don't just go for EMG's Because u might be disappointed, take a look at others as well, and save yourself the muny. Trust me dudes, i've been there and done it. Laters
i want to throw in an Invader in my Viper. i heard that if you have the gain too high on some amps it sounds like ass. ive also heard that its very muddy. i havent played one but would i need to fuck with anything in my guitar? ie add a batt or other shit.
