John Sykes' solo at 2:44 is simultaneously one of my favorite tones, solos, and vibratos: ujnH4yNqL8E

I'm not sure how an oversized Recto cab would sound with a Hagen, specifically, but that cab isn't weak on the low-end - it pushes a ton of low-end, more than the standard cab. base341, did you get the slant or the straight? Both tend to be smooth and relatively dark-sounding vs. other V30...

DADA, for a couple years now I've been reading this forum and others, very occasionally posting, and I notice that just about any time there's an AxeFX thread or conversation, you jump in and trash the device, regardless of what everyone else is talking about. It's as if you can't control...

I began my AxeFX rig with an ART SLA-2. Then tried a Rocktron Velocity 300, ended up sending it back and keeping the SLA-2. Later, I tried a Mesa 2:100, but it had a VERY loud fan and didn't sound all that much better than the SLA-2 to me, so once again, I sent it back and kept the SLA-2. About...

It is primarily a feel thing. SS frets feel noticeably slicker/smoother when bending strings. And it's not snake oil - once you've tried both, you will always feel the difference (assuming note bending and vibrato are part of your playing style). I'm sure some people must prefer the feel of...

I think SS frets can make a guitar acoustically brighter, so it's assumed that it will make the amplified tone brighter as well. Never done an A/B test myself, but as a couple people on the thread have already said, the current wisdom suggests it makes no real tonal difference. Several of my...

I know you said that you're not typically fond of DiMarzios, but what you described as your ideal tone - "I like a really warm fatter sound with good mids, rolled off highs, and a tight bass response" - is also my ideal tone, and the pickup I've used again and again over the years to achieve it...

Right now, I'd have to say my favorite is this McNaught DJ+ in Kotton Kandy that I had custom made for me.

Why are people so emotionally invested in this "debate", on either side? I've been reading this forum for over a year now and it never ceases to amaze me. There's rarely a lot of middle-ground, just a bunch of mudslinging. Why stir the pot by making a fanboi joke? The fact of the matter is...

Congrats! I recently purchased the same guitar in the same color. :) Overall, I'm quite happy with it. Out of curiosity, have you noticed anything "off" with yours? The input jack on mine died almost immediately! Here's a video review I posted to YouTube: A9LMniN97QQ Check the comments and...

I second this. The Breeds were initially designed for a basswood body/maple neck guitar, specifically Steve Vai's Jem 7DBK. I own one and it's one of my favorite guitars, exactly the tone the OP says he's looking for. After buying the 7DBK, I ended up putting Breeds in several other guitars, as...
