Full Shred / Jazz Combo

[StratFreak]

The newer Schecter Balckjack SLS C-1 is offered either with Active Blackouts or a Passive combo of Full Shred / Jazz.

Is the passive combo more versatile ? Can it handle metal tones as well as Blackouts or close to as well ?

Why not full shred/full shred?

[StratFreak]

As i said, the Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1 comes with an active and a passive option, the passive being Full shred / jazz..

I think the passive would be a little more versatile and the actives would be a little more brutal. Given the particular model. If you play a lot of extreme metal I would go blackouts. They are a lot more versatile than you would think. If you play mainly more rock and traditional metal I would go full shred.


That said..... You can't really go wrong given the choice

[StratFreak]

Thanks for the help, i would most likely be using this guitar as a more 'brutal' metal guitar (disturbed, avenged sevenfold, memphis may fire, other slightly drop tuned bands) and metallica, along other old metal. The blackouts seem like the clear choice atm, i have my strat for other music styles.

I'd say buy a nice axe with nice pups (doesn't matter if they are FS/Jazz or Blackouts or EMGs or anything between) but before that buy a better amp. Really.

i actually just bought a vox valvetronix which i am in love with, not looking to buy a new amp any time soon.

those are good amps. Sounds like you would like the blackouts better

[bloodswords]

I have a Full Shred in one of my Ibanez- covers metal tones with ease.

Blackouts will probably be the choice for me

yeah man. I didn't mean it wouldn't by any mean. A lots of guys in extreme genres love the full shred. But I dont know this dude and i went with general consensus and was afraid the low end would feel weak to him.

[StratFreak]

the more videos i watch of Balckouts the more they appeal to me, im sure the full shred is a great pickups as well

Ah, sorry, I only noticed the Fender Frontman in your sig. My bad. Valvetronix series is really good!

[StratFreak]

no problem man yeah the frontman is 6 years old, and was way overdue for an upgrade x_x it did do its job when i was just starting out no doubt.

[bloodswords]

If distortion is your thing, Blackouts are great. I you think you need some good cleans going, the Full Shred would fare better. Just my opinion- I own both pickups.
