Title: Mules - Heavy, fun metal side-project with Misha Mansoor
Post by: Nolly on October 30, 2011, 11:51:36 PM: Hey guys,

Here's a new track from my Snuggles side-project with Misha Mansoor. The guitar used is my Blackmachine B2 with Mules (no neck pickup used on this track though!)
There will be vocals eventually, but for now this is an instrumental mix

I'm starting to think that for recording, "vintage" pickups are where it's at. I had a Seymour Duncan Jazz neck model in the bridge of my Schecter C-1 classic (something like 7.6 Ohms?) and it sounded a bit too bright and open through my amp, but recorded, I think it sounded pretty damn awesome and unique.

When I installed my AM, I LOVED the sound I got through my amp, but the recorded tone might be too compressed. Anyone else notice this about live/recorded tones? Maybe I'm just crazy....

Bottom line, this clip made me want to get a more vintage BKP.

fltlll - You're not crazy, many people prefer the easier playability you get from a higher output pickup in a live situation. I think there's a good argument for both and I enjoy trying out various different pickups for different applications.

Post by: JacksonRR on November 04, 2011, 06:32:47 PM: Yeah man. Great sounds right there. I really like the push each chord has. You guys wear your signature socks when you lay down tracks?

Post by: MrBump on November 05, 2011, 04:26:52 PM: That's really good - dispels a lot of myths about needing ultra high output pickups to play heavy, aggressive music.

I like!
