Re: Show Us Your Guitar
I've become quite a fan of the Ernie Ball Music Man guitars. The Axis is easily the most comfortable guitar I've played, both from a feel perspective when playing and just generally wearing it for a couple of hours. A good range of sounds can be coaxed by rolling the volume around, the bridge cleans up well and the neck pickup is very smooth.
The JP12 is a bit of a different, more complicated beast. The neck shaped is pretty thin and the 20" radius is different to anything I've played. The piezo bridge pickups are neat. Could be a pretty handy live guitar, I reckon I need more time to get used to everything though - I like simple when playing live, otherwise you can spend too much time concentrating on what position to play in. Not sold on the Crunch Lab bridge pickup, sounds like the Illuminator is the one to go for. Liquifire in the neck is excellent.

Re: Show Us Your Guitar
That’s pretty cool, but why are the controls over in perth?

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Show Us Your Guitar
Trying to decide which gear and where from. Have been put off using push pulls for the Humbuckers that i have already, so tempted to just get p90's for it.. and use the Hums for a Tele or Ibanez kit guitar.Slowy wrote:Ah yessssss.....welcome. You have come to the right place!

Re: Show Us Your Guitar
Very big thank you to Brian (MrB on here I think?) at Music Mania for the sharp price on this 000rs1, and also to Grantb for lining it up. I've been after a smaller bodied acoustic for years now but haven't really found one that ticked all the boxes until now and the 000 will have a reasonable back up it seems
