Perhaps there should be an age requirement for internet use, just like driving. Steve – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> a lot of Taco > Bell-juiced butt wind) > oh boy, Sigmond Freud would have a ball with THIS one! > – KP

I thought those guys use EMG’s.

Response:

Maybe by then, but I believe that on Puppets James was still playing his Gibson V and Explorer, which had original pickups for quite a while.  They did go to EMGs sometime though.  They actually had a decent tone on Puppets so I assume they were using Marshall and Gibsons still.

Actually they switched over to Boogie at the time of Puppets.  The tone was incredibly smooth as metal distortion goes…  As well as the low end punch courtesy of Cliff.  That’s still my favorite metal album of all time. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Maybe by then, but I believe that on Puppets James was still playing his > Gibson V and Explorer, which had original pickups for quite a while.  They > did go to EMGs sometime though.  They actually had a decent tone on Puppets > so I assume they were using Marshall and Gibsons still. > >> does anyone know what brand/model of humbucker that Hetfield used on > >> Master of Puppets? > >Gibson > I thought those guys use EMG’s.

Puppets is a metal masterpiece IMO, and Metallica never topped it as far as I’m concerned.  If those were Boogies then they sounded better than my Triple Rectifier ever did.  James has a good ear for tone (as much as a metal player can have tone) and he plays really tight.  Kirk, OTOH, has thin tone and boring riffs, and now that he can’t play a solo without his wah it sounds even worse. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Actually they switched over to Boogie at the time of Puppets.  The tone was > incredibly smooth as metal distortion goes…  As well as the low end punch > courtesy of Cliff.  That’s still my favorite metal album of all time. > Maybe by then, but I believe that on Puppets James was still playing his > Gibson V and Explorer, which had original pickups for quite a while.
