I give the slide edge to CFH only because at the time (and perhaps to this day) it sounded much more unique than RIP. That’s a bit my personal take on MD more generally: near flawless execution, but I feel like I’m listening on steroids. You may argue Pantera (and Dime’s tone) sounds like crap...
I had an 11R for a while and it was good, but not great. I always found better tones using it IRs on my DAW, but at that rate I’d start looking elsewhere. I think the big thing that it had going for it was the “feel” you would get based on how the input was designed. That was kinda cool
This. I slightly regret getting rid of my Nitro, but I am somewhat happier with a 5150/6505 just because I feel it’s a tad more versatile and also less picky with speakers
Looks awesome; a lot like mine.
How are the frets? I’ve been debating re-fretting mine since it still has the originals, but I’d hate to lose the binding
