Quiet.

Anyway, if you need anymore advice like Pickups (considering the body wood I'd use Di Marzio Activator X's when you feel like changing pickups) or Strings, I'm your man, maybe Scorp too.

Pfffft, i know too little (about guitars) to even consider getting new pickups, but strings...

Well, Ernie Ball is most popular but Dunlop make extremely good strings that I'd consider the best readily available.
Dunlop 1.1 picks are also good if you do any sort Metallica style thrash picking.

That's a pretty useful piece of information, I'll see if I can find any when I'm back in a guitar shop. =)

Once these strings start dying I shall pick up some dunlops strings then,and a few new picks.Thanks for the help.

What do you think is a good thrash metal song to start off with? and what to work my way up to.

madman3 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 26, 2011, 09:33:10 AM »

Try learning Bonded By Blood by Exodus. Not overly technical and its chorus is really catchy.
Agent Orange by Sodom is pretty easy too.

I spotted a set of Dunlop strings two days ago at a store. I was amazed. I had been looking for those strings for a few months already.
Sadly my dad bought me a set of HRS strings two weeks ago. I disliked their tone at first, but they're ok now.

Bad luck.
Dunlop strings are great, they react well with active pickups and don't have as much buzz as EBs.

One thing, if you have a guitar with EMGs, Dean Markley blue steel's make the tone hilariously dirty.

I know mine are humbuckers, but any specific category?

Your pickups are plain old Passives. There's nothing wrong with them though.

BTW, if you really do ever feel like changing pickups, Di Marzio Activator X's or Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortions will do you great; I'd recommend the latter particularly.

Lupus · « **Reply #52 on:** July 26, 2011, 03:26:38 PM »

I also recommend the latter because they're cheaper...

Lupus · « **Reply #53 on:** July 26, 2011, 03:28:03 PM »

DP:
I may get some later on though,as mine are preeeeeetty standard.

madman3 · « **Reply #54 on:** July 26, 2011, 03:32:28 PM »

SH-6s kick EMGs ass (both EMG actives and Passives) and pwn Seymour Duncan Blackouts too.

That means they're good.

In the first week most of the metal on the bridge of my ESP tarnished.

Meh, you can clean it if you want.

I've learnt agent orange up till the sudden change in tempo, then my arm just dies...

Meh, practice tremolo picking enough and you'll get it eventually.
