NB -Metre is the "proper" word for tempo

Wrong, Metre is defined as "Rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration"


whereas tempo = "the speed at which a composition is to be played"


What you mean with "Metre", is probably what we refer to as note duration?

yeah, I always thought "meter" is another term for "time signature." For example, a song can in be 4/4, 3/4. 6/8 etc. That is what is meant by meter.

Hm,, yeah, i thought it was an other word for 16ths and 8ths and shit, but Time Signature makes more sense yes

should i buy an EMG 81 pickup for my RR3 jackson? i have right now Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups the ones that come with the guitar. I Saw it on ebay that's why and was interested. I'm not that much of an expert when it comes to pickups and just asking for some opinions from u guys who know their shit!

[Swabs]

No EMG 81s are shit

85s are better imo, less trebley, a fatter sound.

*opinion*

i love 81's.

[alexi_laiho_GuitarGod]

so a person who likes them and one who doesn't eh? i dunno i still might get it its very cheap and new too

[failure_of_threads]

any new pickup will be a blessing for an rr3

[alexi_laiho_GuitarGod]

yeah u are right!

[Altitudes]

Are you going for active pickups or what? No one can decide what kind of tone you want. If you want trebley, overall shitty tone, go with the EMG 81.

[alexi_laiho_GuitarGod]

yeah active pickups. I just want different pickups from the ones i have now which i dont really like. I want a trebley sound but i dont want a shitty tone but from what u tell the 81 is not the right choice.
