Kenny the bassist is a good friend of mine, I met him through jason castor who is jimmy castors son - we played in a band together around 2000 with jason castor, he goes by rick skatore - theyre from the bronx and jimmy hazel still lives up there - the have had some drummer changes and jimmy...
Love the distortion in alder strat style guitars, you roll off the volume and you can get a gritty AC/DC tone outta a strat - AND dont forget the cleans are also very good on that pup -
I need some single coils for a HSS superstrat, I currently have a duncan distortion in the bridge and im pretty happy with it, but the single coils I believe are dimarzio blue velvet and they are really low output for my tastes, can anyone recommend me a good single coil for the middle and neck...
I havde 2 axis and a silo special, the silo special has a kick ass neck with a strat style body, if you like the vibe of EBMM necks but the tele style body is uncomfortable then grab a silo special for sure, its my #1 guitar - for the record the albert lee model has the most kickass neck of all...
I played the 5150 III again today, hoenstly its a badass head, thick and nice but its really pricey, I def like it better than the JVM and the 5150's - channel 2 with a boost is so sweet -
Im bumping this thread because the guitars are awesome, snit I have a few axis guitars as well, but the silos are my favorite for some reason, comfy body, great necks -
Snit I couldnt tell but do they have the new compensated nut om them? and which do you prefer, I changed the pups on mine after a few months, I wasnt bonding with them, also if they do have the nut do you notice any difference with the new nuts-
Snit I love them, they are my favorite guitars ever - Im grabbing another silo special as soon as I find one that I like - also check out the EB forums, thats the only other site I go to, there are silo fanatics over there -
I have a 1936 that I got almost 10 years ago, it didnt do it for me with the stock speakers but when i put some v30's in them is sounded a hell of a lot better - I think its a good cab and its a workhorse, I also think it sounds better than the avatar stuff - its bigger than a standard 212 as...
Well alot goes into it, after I posted last nite I was thinking that they all had different cabs as well which is a huge factor, I have a DSL 50 now along with a few XXX heads and they are both cool, just different vibes, about the Peavey tones, for some reason I can dial in a peavey head easier...
I was at GC jamming around and they had a JSX out, right next to a 5150II and a XXX and some DSL's, now is it me or does the JSX kick the shit out of everything on the list? should I be grabbing one of these?
