Ola is OG for me...his vids with the high end metal amps back in the day were so cool....and helpful...bought my Engl Fireball 100 after checking out tons of his vids. I bought a Solar guitar and for the money, it is a value/quality you don't always get with other brands. Dude is a great...
Regular Jazz III 1.5mm or Black Ice 1.5mm for me. I have used the Jazz III XL, but they just feel slightly awkward after getting used to the regular Jazz III.
I tried those carbon fiber max grips but just didn't like the sound coming off the string with them.
When I had my tube preamps and heads..my favs in V1 were the late 50's long black plates..RCA/Sylvania...but my secret weapon was the Raytheon long black plates...best sounding tubes in my opinion. Most of the good one came out of the old organs..always had good luck with Baldwin and Lowery...
Heard the name but until today had not seen anything by him.
I like his energy and showmanship...good entertainer...kinda reminds a bit of Mr Saraceno.
Excellent tone and playing Firejack! Those pickups have that vowel sound in the right frequency spot and the Peters are very complementary of each other.
Alnico NBs are in 3 of my guitars..love them...pissed off, articualte and tight...sound decent clean too.
Have not tried the BW, but I have a SD 59 Custom Hybrid in a Charvel that is fantastic. Can chug with any of them.
It replaced the Nazgul that came in the Charvel. The Nazgul is pretty hot...
I do like the Schallers, but I also have a couple of these straps too and so far they've not been a problem..lock on both regular strap buttons and the Schaller buttons for me...But I am not doing the acrobatic Yngwie guitar throws and Ritchie Blackmore moves either..
I've got both a Boss WL50 and a Lekato WS70 (Amazon).
Both work great...both brighten the sound a touch, but the Boss is just a bit better. Neither is ridiculously expensive...the Lekato is like 34 bucks and you have good wireless.
