ALright got your point guys, B-S-R is a usual config, the golds are a must for almost any tone freak and strat lover (arent we all one???),
But what about the emeralds, the purples, and the light blues??? Anybody tried those as a full 3 over, or in combinations?? What about the other products they carry?

k to be more spcific about what band's im into and what i play are Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Pantera, Megadeth, White Stripes. so i dont need a start sound, i need somthing that will fit into a strat and get a dirty sound, and that is still good for using clean but its not really a big issue if they dont sound amazing

Er, I'd have thought it's always a big issue if your guitar doesn't sound amazing. But at any rate, you should find the Sensors pretty good for the sounds you are after. Go for it.

Your always going to struggle getting a thrash sound out of a strat regardless of what pickup you put in it. The diamond darrel and mustaine sound is more to do with body mass behind the bridge than pickups used. Strat bridge possitions are way too mid focused. not in a good slayer way either its a very narrow mid sound to produce the characteristic quack.
Also the amp/effects rig's them lot use is gargantuan and heavily influenced by the number and type of speakers used. Mustaine for instance records through 8 4x12's.

Seymor Duncan's Hot Rails are as heavy as you want and still fit the standard pick guard and rout. I have one in a tele at the bridge and it's as in your face loud and proud as you could ever want. Peace. J.J.B.

Good Lord! Not my world at all: is that for real? Why? How?

Where is there a desert big enough to put that recording studio in the middle?

I remember an interview with Eddy Van Halen about using 5 Marshalls in the studio; he "liked to see the hair on his arm move" as he played; he used twice that when live at the time....

with that kind of playing its about size of sound rather than poweramp gain, i dont believe the amps are past 3, mike/tape/disc compression would be unreal. Couple that with 7 or so well balanced room mikes and a speaker mike and your coming close to his recorded sound. Then add a rack of power conditioners, top end pre-amps and the usual plethoria of modulation rack units, and your gonna get close. Even with a standard telecaster.
All these extreme metal players sound garbage live, its not because of bad playing its because their so meticulous about sound quality in the studio it cant be re-created live.

Niki....I like your signature statement. Speaks tomes. Without all the added 'technology' they have no sound.

Segovia, an acoustic Spanish guitar, and an external mike, and it was all magic.

yeah i still have cupboards full of stuff i dont use anymore.
Effects, wireless systems, pre-amps, heads. All of that stuff clouds your natural tone even when its bypassed, I wouldnt get rid of any of it. Like anything they are tools to be used. My problem was that they became crutches to try and disguise a lot of bad playing. It took 20 years for me to realise that fact and now for me its just guitar, lead, amp on the clean channel (if i can sound great through that its going to sound killer with a touch of gain) and alot of practice to get my playing up to scratch.
Incidetaly the signature is a quote from a man called Huey Morgan of the band 'The fun loving criminals'. Although its something i've believed for quite a while now, i had never heard it articulated quite so well as when i read a interview with him. Their a very diverse band and well worth checking out, particularly the 'mimosa' or 'welcome to poppys' cd's. No jaw dropping guitar just very good melodies and songs.

I put a Preloaded Pickguard in a Strat for someone that they bought from GC that was the Lace Sensor Blue/Silver/Red it sounded good. They were suposed to have been like the Lace Sensors that Fender used to use 15 20 years ago. Red was very hot sounding if I remembering correctly.
