Cheers guys

Truth Marco, I've heard A-Bombs and A-Pigs sound tight in E and drop D. Drop C, in my experience, is more or less the cutoff, depending on guitar - things start getting a bit muddy for me and I need the ninja-tight pickups below that.

Right, I say it because I dislike many guitar tones from most liked metal bands... usually guys that plays with 25.5" scale guitars and trebley pickups....

it's an EQ thing too, i believe... with my usual settings (at least on the PODxt and the HT5, on lead channel or clean + HM2... i've never played in B on my ENGL) 6th string sounded a bit too boomy... i don't want to change settings when i use my 7 or tune lower... my standard tuning is still E (that's why i bought the 7!), i prefer how it sounds on mid and high notes, and i'm mostly a lead guitarist...
Mule, MQ, Stockholm, CS, RY, MM, PK, ANB, CNB, AWP, CWP, PiG90...

too many? ;)
