lol
can ya find a less descript link LOL

I am guessing it just has a vol. and a tone control?

And no idea on pup width bud, don't own that or ever have owned an Ibanez. Dave-Mc will doubtless know as he seems an Ibanez nut.

RorySRV, by "width" do you mean the polepiece spacing? The actual size of the pickups will just be regular humbucker size, unless it's a 7-string.

Polepiece spacing would be 52mm for bridge, 50mm for neck.

And if you decide to change the pots, get 500Ks to work best with the humbuckers.

Thanks Dakine, Thanks Filly

I mean how wide is the humbucker.

You know gibsons are 50mm, fenders are usually 52mm etc

Yep, that's the polepiece spacing.

It'll be 52mm for bridge, 50mm for neck.

Ok Thanks.

I am I right in assuming the BKs will fit in the Ibee then??

Philly Q · « **Reply #37 on:** October 12, 2006, 06:44:15 PM »

I'm 100% confident that they'll fit.

If they don't, I'll buy 'em off you. At a hefty discount of course.

RorySRV · « **Reply #38 on:** October 12, 2006, 06:56:25 PM »

Of Course

Ok I say thanks again to everyone that has helped.

You have been a huge help and this should be all the questions i need to ask regarding pickups in the foreseeable future :)
RorySRV,

What I would do with H-S-H is a Nailbomb set and put an Irish Tour in the middle... hands down... with Miracle Mans you could probably use a Trilogy Suite, but a quieter single coil can clean up when used and work like channel switching (clean when you use the three middle positions, and distorted with the bridge or neck!).

What I'd suggest is getting a push pull pot and wire it so that when it's pulled up, the bridge and neck positions are both the bridge and neck together and when it's pushed down it's normal.

IMO, NOT trying to be an ass, but Darrell got his tone from a solid state amp which most say was/is cr@p. What I mean to say is, he was a magician;) But that does NOT mean ya can't try.

R.I.P. my friend.

Early on he used Marshalls up until '92 or '93 though.... I did like his tone better than too but he did wonders for a solid state amp.

Ok thanks alot.

I will consider all of this when I get the tech to wire it

I assume you mean a switch so I can combine the neck and bridge pup and kind of turn off the middle pup...

Thanks again,

RorySRV

Just outta interest,
when did you see/hear Daryll using a Marshall?

Look for early Dimebag clinics or shows from '91 or earlier and a good part of '92. There are a few clips on youtube of Pantera playing in Russia and h had a wall of Marshalls. He used them on Cowboys from Hell as well with some sort of distortion pedal.

Dakine · « **Reply #44 on:** October 29, 2006, 10:21:19 AM »

Hmmm,indeed they are there.That was the 1991 Monsters of Rock show with Metallica and AC/DC (not Pantera's rig perhaps). Maybe some kind of logistical thing, being in Russia and all.
Daryll won a Randall RG100H in a guitar contest (very soon after winning his 'original' ML which he sold and got back later in it's Lightning Bolt/Bill Lawrence state) as a teenager. He used this to record CFH (also I believe, 'Metal Magic','Projects in the Jungle', 'I am the Night' and 'Power Metal') he then used a Randall Century 200 for VDOP but went back to his RG100H for TGST. He then returned to the C200 until Randall designed his Warheads for him.
He did use a Marshall Micro Stack (heavily, 'Dimeafied') on 'Living Through Me (Hells Wraith)' off of TGST. But I know of NO other instance were Daryll used Marshall in any 'personal choice' situation.
