kueller Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'd say my mom pays around the same percent. Shit's expensive here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshH Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 yeah briefly our property tax land business etc is usually lower. Sha-derpa man you bought the MA? that thing looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) And Claypool And Wooten And me in the future... ...I hope Shh! Don't tell people about the bass side of EMG's. Then we'll lose all our secrets. I'm certain that aside from the Seymour Duncan in one of my basses, mine are all rebranded EMG's and they sound freaking amazing. Actually, I put EMG's in my brother's guitar and they sound very warm when clean, would make for good rhythm work.

Phill Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I don't pay tax yet, but my dad probably pays between 25-30% of his income. What are you paying in the UK? The problem for me is that, wonderfully pretentious as the US can be, if I want to live over there I either have to renounce my US Citizenship and pay only UK tax or keep my US Citizenship and pay a US expat tax on top of UK taxes. Hooray for the only country in the world who charges you not to live there.... I pay 20%. It does up higher as you get into higher earnings those. I think anything over £34k you pay 30 or 40 % on.

Dave. Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Although the UK does have a slightly higher standard of living and since compared to the US its very small you don't spend as much on travel. It all comes down to what kind of life style you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijs Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I would prefer SDs over EMGs. But perhaps you should check out some more bass brands Bentley, EMG is not the 'holy grail of tone'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Trufax Yeah, I just watched your enter sandman cover. That sounds br00talz even without the EMGs it has to be the shorts. I never got that sort of sound out of my VH4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a miracle man in the new guitar - really sounds great for heavy stuff, but the tones with the coil split are very impressive too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentley Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I would prefer SDs over EMGs. But perhaps you should check out some more bass brands Bentley, EMG is not the 'holy grail of tone'. I'd agree with that statement (secretly I love music man tone) but Ive been going more into wooten-style jazzy harmonic stuff (for which my hands hate me) and claypool funkadelia, and I prefer EMGs for those kinds of playing. That said, Ive been wanting to try some Bartolinis and SD's too, just to see what their strong suits are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean/muse Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Dimarzios a good brand , almost identical to SD , I actually prefer Dimarzio being that they are made in NYC and I live like a 45 minute drive from the factory haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have a Bartolini MMX in one of my basses, it sounds great. Also, perhaps you might want to check out Lindy Fralin too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa_man Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Emg make alot of pickups, most people think they only make 81/81 81/85 the 60 and the 91 are great pickups, also some of the passive stuff are great, its just people think emg = teh CHUGGZ, but the 60 are great for blues the 91's for jazz stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot what the other two pickups were though. I'll give them a chance anyway. I have some EMG selects (passives) in another guitar and they just sound horrible, but I understand those are nothing like the active ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 yeah i think The bridge is an 89R, the best kept secret in the EMG lineup. There's an 85 and an SA hidden in the space of one bucker. The volume has a pull pot that changes the pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot what the other two pickups were though. I'll give them a chance anyway. I have some EMG selects (passives) in another guitar and they just sound horrible, but I understand those are nothing like the active ones The Selects are crap. They were not even made my EMG. They just designed them and had some company in China build them from shit parts. They were only OEM on low end guitars. The Pickups in the Hot Rod Strat that's on it's way to you now (Dimarzios are in the bag too.) are SAV prototypes and an 89R. The SAV's are actual single coils with exposed pole pieces and all. They even hum when you're not touching the strings. The only difference is that they have a preamp and are very quiet when you are grounding the strings. The bridge pup is the 89R and I have it in my PRS and my old '62 reissue strat that I use as my drop D tuned head basher. The tonality of the 89R is close to a Duncan '59 but with more top end from the low impedance output. It's a great pup and is my favorite in the EMG line.

Impulse 101 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 To be delivered Friday from the fine gentlemen at Suhr Guitars. I'm just a little excited. No offense to Matt but the Red Sparkle Drip blows his red M1D1 out of the water. JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
