Well,
My good friend and band buddy Rockermann here posted an ACDC sound test (on our private band forum), and it sounded so much like AC/CD I had to check the same preset out on my machine, as we both use Amplitube 2.
Now, I love my EMG's but when I tried the same patch it sounded markedly different. I usually get quite killer sounds IMO with my EMGs but in this case I got to thinking - hell - I have half a dozen guitars ALL with EMG's...maybe I _should_ have one guitar with passives, just for the purpose of getting a slightly different sound on recording now and then.
So...the one guitar that is 'different' from the rest is my Flying-V...it is a strange bird, already sounds different as my other axes, so I don't use it much with the band...maybe because it has 81/89 instead of 85 bridge on all others... So I just posted an ad to a local sales/swap site that I'd be willing to swap the entire pickup/pots/jack setup to that of a gibson one or equivalent.
I dunno if it makes sense...or maybe it makes a LOT of sense. What's the use of having ALL the guitars with same/similar pickups?
I don't know why I'm posting this really...I guess, maybe to possibly get some confirmation I'm not being stupid if I do the swap...
