Seymour Duncan Blackouts

Hey all,

I had a play with some EMG's over the weekend and I've decided to get some active pickups for my Ibanez RG370. After reading around I've heard really good things about the Seymour Duncan Blackouts, and a few people seem to be recommending them over the classic EMG 81/85 combo.

Anybody out there use them? What do you think?

Cheers,
Lorry

Hello From Down Under

Hey all,

My name is Jared and I live in Perth, Western Australia. Been playing the guitar on and off for about 10 years but never really seriously got into it until recently. I started listening to metal about a year ago and I think thats what has motivated me to really try and get good at the guitar. I really like Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold and the boys from Lamb of God and Trivium, but appreciate anyone that can rip out a face melting piece of shred .

I'm currently working through one of Muris's sweep picking lessons as its a technique that I would like to be able to pull off, but I'm out to generally improve my speed and accuracy. Currently I thrash away on an Ibanez RG 370 DX feeding a Digitech DF-7 pedal into an 80w combo amp.

I'd also like to add how refreshing it is to find an online community where everyone is so supportive and helpful. In a world of bickering keyboard warriors it really is a welcoming change.

Cheers guys,

Jared
