Kinda funny I was briefly in the scene then left and moved to TN from 93-97. Missed so many good local bands in that time period including Bodypit. When I came back everyone was talking about Slipknot.. Listened to the CD MFKR.. Was like huh? This is popular? Hadn't seem them live yet. Finally did then the light went on.. Then of course after hearing their RR debut.. Just blew me away. Been a proud fan ever sense. Sadly not too many local bands have done anthing since. A few have done pretty well.. Dead Horse Trauma, Index Case, Saul, Destrophy, Widow 7, Painface.. Of course non of my bands lol.

@@kingpriapatius5832 Seymour Duncan goes about sales in its own way. Fishman, on the other hand, besides catering to numerous modern metal players who play six, seven, and eight-string guitars, predominantly markets the six-string version of their pickups, as evidenced by signature pickups such as those of Scott LePage, Tim Henson, and Devin Townsend.

@@werberthvinicius4159 Most guitarists play 6-string guitars. EMG does the same. He plays in low tunings, and his previous company did the same. If he was Clapton, it would not have been very meaningful, but it makes perfect sense when you play drop-B and drop-A tunings.

I believe he believes everything he is saying - but not everyone agrees. I think it has to do with age and what sounds people grew up with. Personally, I do not like active pickups and the Fishman's are no different in that regard - Just because I don't like them does not mean they aren't good - they are good. I have them in 3 guitars and I enjoy the sounds. They sound good, they perform just fine and I can use them no problem. The thing is, for me, I prefer the sound of passive pickups...and that's all there is to it....at 60 years old, I also don't like too much technology in guitar equipment or batteries in my guitar - so that's my opinion. Les Paul, Tele, Strat and a Charvel, Tube amp, passive pickups a cable and a pick. If you can't make that sound good, then the problem lies elsewhere.
