What if Meshuggah went full industrial on "Sum" with a 9-string?

Once Mick Gordon and Fredrik collaborated on an industrial metal track for the Wolfenstein: The New Order - their only one together in that style. So this is my fantasy of what "Sum" by Meshuggah would sound like with a similar vibe 🌚

Tuning: A#0

Need suggestions for activities

Hello, everyone!

I wanted to check with you all if there's interest in having some sort of activity here on our subreddit and what kind of activity that would be!

As it stands, this subreddit is a great place for people who are curious/interested in Aristides to come and have their questions answered. Some people post their WIP/NGD/collection pictures, which is nice!

I think it would be cool if there was some sort of reoccurring activity that the community could engage in. An example that comes to my mind is something like a Song/Riff of the Month where people can submit videos of them playing.

Would you be interested in such an activity? Do you have other suggestions for activities? Any other feedback or ideas? Everything is appreciated!

Low output pickup in Aristides

So I'm waiting for my guitar to be shipped in about a month and I'm curious if anyone has experience with this combination, since most Aristides players are oriented towards metal and high gain pickups and I don't consider myself part of the target audience.

My guitar is going to have a single Seymour Duncan '78 humbucker in the bridge (which is a low output Alnico II pickup originally made for EVH) and a single volume knob that has a push/pull switch that goes from series to parallel. I like to play anything from blues to Pink Floyd to Megadeth.

How do they sound and feel in an Aristides?
