OK... so I took the BB1 and BB2 out of my LP classic in my avatar.

 

I put them in the LP Ultra.

 

Now, I plan on putting in a 490R/T set or 496R/500T.

 

For heavy rock, what would be better... LP classic (heavy sucker) with 496R/500T or the ultra (light as a feather) with 496R/500T???

 

Or should i just go tried and true by dropping in a 490R/T like i have and love in my LP std?

 

dunno if I need to have a screaming gain guitar... maybe?

 

Input welcome, guys

As far as I know, the 500Ts have more "umph" than an Alnico II 490T. I think (and I mean think) the "heavy one" would be the better choice of guitar. Some may differ, but that's cool, because I'm not absolutly sure. Just call myself sort of puttin' two and two together.JMHO.

So i have a real love and hate relationship with EMGs...

 

I put in the set i have, 81/60, and well, I think they were meant for my classic. (see user pic)

 

wow. Im shocked i like them. glad i kept em around.

 

This is by no means me retracting anything ive said about EMGs that was negative.

 

Meh, theyre ok :]
