Hello! New to the forum and my first post - I am in the process of getting a mint Dean ML Warbird...one thing I always do is pull the pups out of all the guitars I get and replace them, usually w/ EMG 85/60 & 81's.
For the Dean I am torn though...I play metal, love Dime's sound but don't necessarily want to replicate it either, but I want something a bit different as well! I just want the full-out metal assault of Dime's...you know...all the gain, all the sustain, and all the squeels!
So what's your opinion on my dilemma?
1 - Do I stick my usual EMG's in it?!?
2 - Do I go with the Sey Dunc Dimebucker & Dean Dimetime?!?
3 - Or should I go a different route and put it the Sey Dunc SH-6 Distortion Mayhem set?!? Which I am leaning towards especially with the price!
I have a set of Sey Duncs in one of my Epi Les Paul Std's, Jazz-2 in the neck and the SH-4 in the bridge.
Any ideas or suggestions welcome!!! Thanx in advance!
