It’s been about 7 years since I saw Philip Sayce play at Biscuits and Blues, in S.F. He was ridiculously good. He beat the crap out of his guitar, and the Super Reverb he was using. And it was spectacular.

Easy choice.

Some of my nominations for best tone(s) of the 90s:

I DIG IT!!!!

Get an MiJ Ibanez 7-string.

I’ll learn songs for gigs.(does that count?) But, mostly, I just play to amuse myself. However, I am jamming with some guys for a possible doom/stoner project. So, we’ll see how that goes.

Pariah “Sykonaut” at the bridge, and a Duncan SH4 at the neck.

He’s tried to retire it before, unsuccessfully. He even said, at one point, it’s like his trademark. Would Metallica change their name if tomorrow, “Metallica” became some sort of “offensive” perceived slight against some part of society? No. F_cking. Chance.

Definitely not my experience.

Same. The Bad Horsie, my version is from the first run in the mid-90s, has a certain “thing” to the eq that works great into a lot of distortion. I don’t like it for bluesier applications/single coils. That switchless feature is great.

Be sure to get one that has el-34s. And, get the capacitor that feeds voltage to the preamp tubes replaced with a beefier one. That is one of the “issues” with the SLX.

Headless since 2001.:LOL:

Bogner Helios 100w. I run mine through a Suhr 4x12 with 25w greenbacks. It does every Marshall tone I’ve ever lusted after. Including the JCM800.

Depending on the amp I’m using, one of these.
