Splawn Owners ... Opinions please

[Tone Monster]

Owned a quickrod. Liked it. Sold it in the end though. Solid amp. Owned a nitro, hated it from day one and sold it within a week. Just woofy and bloated sounding.

I just got the plexi style black with gold piping. B+ drop as well. I wanted the cosmetics basic because LP is correct that a custom created headshell would be a little more difficult to move. I have no plans on selling mine anytime soon so.....To note, I did swap out the pre's as follows, You will have to pardon me on the exact numbers/codes on the pre's since the head is not right here in front of me.

V1 - Ruby HG+AC5
V2 - Ruby HG+AC7
V3 - Tungsol (really makes her dirty while maintaining that sweet clean)
V4 - Phillips NOS 12AX7.

Like you I was a little torn on the whole Ntro/QR mental debate. I love the sound of a Diezel (I know completly different animal)and know that he loads em up with Ruby's so I figured what the hell and went on the expierment trail. Results: More gain and a little darker with the overall tone. I also noticed that EQ now quells this mid thing that splawn owners bring up now and again. Me? I don't hear it. My main guitar is a custom made LP custom with duncan blackouts. Ya talk about pushing the shit out of the front end !!!!!!

Amp and guitar combo sounds nice. Gonna stick with my original plan and start with the QR. I am having a custom LP custom built currently.

Building in honor of my brother who passed a year ago December. He always wanted a Zakk Wlde LPC but neck thru. He liked the buzz saw model but the color scheme of the bullseye. I thought this was a good mix.

Sorry to hear about your brother Jer.

Question: who's the builder on that guitar? Can't quite make out the name on the headstock.

That's actually a mockup done using the frank montag LP generator. The builder will be Ron Estrada at Mammoth Custom guitars. He has built 3 incredible guitars for me.

Man, sorry to about your bro! What an honor though on that Custom you have being built in his memory. I love how you omitted the tail piece and have the through body strings. When you get the LP and the QR, drop a clip. Would love to hear that combination!

Oh I will for sure. I am super stoked about both the guitar and amp. Ron and I are actually working on a single cut "JerEvil" model as well. Should be cool.
