Hey you hijacked my thread with pup talks !

I've tried a Gibson LP Studio on my Pod XT and the "metal" sound I'm trying to get is almost similar, very dissapointed. You guys were right, an amp is needed.

LOL @ EMG talk.

Seriously, I have EMG 808's in my 8 string and I really wish I could afford to put Lundgrens or Bareknuckles in. The EMG's are just too trebly, they dont really have that response of the other 2. Bareknucks are a lot cheaper than Lundy's too.

Hrm, the Bareknuckles appear to be about $40 cheaper than the Lundys. Damn worthless USD

Haha, yea, sorry about that. But like I said earlier, I'm pretty damn happy with my little setup with the Epiphone + Solid Metal pedal. The Solid Metal is a little pricey for a pedal, but still cheaper than a POD and you can get some absolutely amazing tone out of it. Tubes are most definitely the way to go

Bareknuckles are only about 30 bucks more than their respective EMGs, if you're looking for them in the US check out this place http://www.axepalace.com/

Yea, but go listen to some Bulb tracks and tell me if Bareknucks cant get that beefy ass metal tone.

I would absolutely pay more for Bareknucks because they are better pickups than EMG's, plain and simple.

Apparently I was looking at the wrong website. Thanks!

Edit: Looks like finding a set in stock is another story though..

Oh, no doubt! I was looking at the wrong website for American pricing apparently. I might have to give 'em a shot thanks again
