Dude, you can't take people's opinions very seriously, it's meant to get you stirred up. Just poke sticks right back at them.

Saw Neal with Journey a few weeks ago, Night Ranger opened for them, Brad Gillis' tone KILLED Neal's. I don't know what Brad was using either, last time I saw them he had a Soldano Decatone. I'm wagering he either had a Soldano or a Mark Series Boogie - but whatever it was decimated Neal.

Gillis fanboi

Yeah, pretty much! Neal's use of the whammy bar was pretty much neophyte level compared to Brad... however, Brad put his strat out of tune pretty badly and retuned a few times. Neal's LP with the floyd stayed in tune great. Other complaint I had about Neal is that he either played 8th notes or 64ths... it was like "melodic line... WHEEDELEY WHEE!" "melodic line... WHEEDLEY WHEE!" the whole night. Plus when he played fast it was just scattershot notes... burn for the sake of burn. Sounded like a kid at guitar center running scales he learned at his 'shred' lesson the week before.

Pete

I have the GP articule with Brad btw, he goes through the original Red Strat and shows some of his other fiddles. If you want it let me know and I will send it out to ya. From about a year ago or so.

Heck yeah! Can't believe I missed that, you rock!

Pete

PM me your addy and I'll get it out this week. I guess that guitar had this crazy route along the entire guitar for an old Nady wireless rig to run the antenna

Sweet. yeah, his strat has been through hell... let's see, Brad took a '62 strat and over the years:

Repainted it with leftover lacquer from his Datsun 240Z
Had it floyded
Had a 22nd fret added to the original neck

and then put about 50 billion different necks on it, including a Hamer at one time.

Oh, interesting factoid - that red 62 strat is retired. Brad was playing a Fernandes like mine at the show. He also has a fender strat built up like his '62 also. Didn't see any evidence of the 'Pearlcaster' that Ed Roman made him anywhere

I always post a shark and pilot fish picture when our whiney Canadian RT member cloudnine complains about the USA. And I do use the term "member" figuratively.

Did he have a blue PRS? He speaks about that one alot that has an original non fine tuner floyd as well. Also he says he is a huge CL reader so I guess you have something else in common

I like the simplicity of the Escape tour setup best.

I remember when the JVM was the amp to have around here. What happened there?

He's had a VH4 in the past, perhaps he just wants something different. FWIW, he probably sounds great with that rig, as much as it upsets internet tonelordz. Furthermore, I'm starting to wonder how much difference you could perceive in a live environment between this rig and his last. Even more so after seeing a boutique amp builder be fooled into thinking a cheap solidstate practice amp was one of his own creations.

Adam, do tell about the boutique builder? I've been out of the loop and I'm always up for a laugh.

I always post a shark and pilot fish picture when our whiney Canadian RT member cloudnine complains about the USA. And I do use the term "member" figuratively.

I don't know cloudnine, but one time a few years ago he wanted to hear an amp I had from James Peters, so I said "sure he can come by and try it" ...but nooooo...he actually wanted me to pack it up, load it in my car and drive it over to his house so he could try it.

His mom won't let him go listen to loud rock amps and hang around musicians.

He still has that GT-6 racked, interesting.

There's a Youtube video featuring his rig from last year. The accompanying description (taken from Guitar World magazine) says that the GT-6 is used for his in-ear monitors.
