Members Tosis Maguill Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 What does everybody think of Jackson guitars?Personally, I love them to death.The necks are fast as hell.They just amaze me.They sound really really good with the Seymour Duncan Invaders or the EMG's as well.

Members Metalman X Posted December 18, 2005 Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 Me likey! I'm a BC Rich man first though, but Jackson is a VERY close second. Definately an axe for pure metallic mayhem (especially loaded w/ EMG's!)....which is the only way I'll take'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That EMG TurboCharger is nuts.I love it.I used to have a BC Rich, but I ended up selling it.I didn't like it much.It was a Warlock. I'm not sure of the series. It was neck-through, though, and got it for almost $700 at Guitar Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was neck-through, though, and got it for almost $700 at Guitar Center. My latest edition, a dark red quilt top BC Rich Beast with reverse headstock, has an EMG pre-amp built into it...I installed the Kerry King set on it (emg 81 bridge, 85 neck, and adjustable 20db pre-amp boost). Its pretty cool. I use it as a boost at lower volumes mainly. sounds great at higher volumes too...but I'm already running into a high gain pre-amp, and even with a noise gate, the boost makes the feedback and noise level practically intolerable!

Members Tosis Maguill Posted December 18, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2005 Yeah. The dB gain is nice to have. Especiallly being a lead guitarist.. In my band (we play metal), we balance our amps out, for the harmonies and everything. However, I use the db gain when my guitar is supposed to be heard more.

I've used it that way too...and it works well for that. I also occasionally use it for slower 'doom metal' type parts, with the neck pick up on (an EMG 85). Gets a really cool thick 'sludge' tone. But when I g back to my usually speed-riff stuff (I play a style thats kinda a combo of death/thrash/ and black metal) I switch it off and go back my bridge PU...an EMG 81.

I love the pick-up configuration you use, as well.I was thinking of getting the EMG 85 for my neck pick-up.They're both 81's right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChihliDog Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 I hate Floys Rose tremolos, but I do have a BC Rich with one, and I gotta admit having serious GAS for a Jackson RR. I love the look of Jacksons overall, and the ones I've owned/played were all awesome instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Randy_Rhoads Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 well i have an rr5 jackson. its pretty cool. the only thing is i dont like the jackson pick ups. i think you should put like emg's or seymour duncans on em. and another bad thing is the weight i think they are really heavy. but besides that they are sweet.

Members axe2 2001 Posted December 23, 2005 Members Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have a 91' canadian soloist with Jackson actives and a mid boost circuit. HSS, It's a super nice guitar. Comfortable, fast as hell and it really is a nicely built guitar. I'm not sure if the singles are active but i'll get some pretty convincing strat-like sounds from it with those. The Humbucker is pretty hot but good sounding. Definitly made for fast work. I don't use it too much now but i'll pick it up from time to time and think, "dam, this is a sweet guitar" ! I use mainly low to mid output Gibson pickups in hand made guitars now. I have to re-tweek my rig for this one. She's hot as hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
