Megadeth plays thrash...?

um yeah they are in the big 4 of thrash

The EMG's are awful and the Seymour Duncans are pretty cool. Although there really isnt "thrash" bass, just someone who plays bass in a thrash band. You are only going to get extreme sounds from radical EQ adjustments.

anyone ever played the rio grande pickups? how are they?

just curious, has anybody used dimarzio bass pickups? how are they?
The X2N-B sounds beastly. Anybody have any experience with it?
Thanks

I played one of those Fender J's with 24 frets, anyways that bass had a set of quarter pounders, let me tell you something.....it sounded HUGE! maybe you should look into buying the set rather than just getting the bridge pup.

Well the 1/4 pounders arent Dimarzio pickups, they're seymour duncans i believe. When i get my bass i wasnt planning on just having a bridge pickup only. I'm almost certain im gonna get the Dimarzio Split P in the neck postion and either a Dimarzio X2N-b or Ultra Jazz bridge pickup.
