Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

No, I need the neck pickup. I really couldn't live without it. I love the bluesy type tones you can get by just changing to it, especially with the EMG 85
I'm actually looking forward to getting a good guitar now that I have a decent rig that doesn't include the words Zoom or Harley Benton

Never underestimate the power of the middle singlecoil. Has a lovely balance of warmth and brightness.Doctor J wrote:Meh, for the amount of time I'd use a middle single coil, I wouldn't bother personally. In fact, I could probably live happily without the neck pickup too

I know what a middle single coil is capable of, however for what I have in mind it will not be necessary. Besides, the guitar I have in mind has a 5 way switch with a coil tap at 2 and 4.
Plus, I find I just screw them down anyway cos they get in the way of my picking hand 0 -

Yeah, I've posted in it twice
As for guitars, if you ever buy one that suits you as is, you're a lucky man. Don't be scared to make an instrument suit you just because of its price tag. Besides, a grand isn't expensive when it comes to guitars as you well know. Sometimes you've just got to whip out the chisel and sort stuff out.

I've just put the deposit down on this. Twas just too good a deal to turn down
Ibanez S2020 XAV Prestige, 2002, super high end Japan model and the first one I’ve ever seen. All the high end features and a stunning work of art with impeccable Antique Violin finish over super thin S-shaped Mahogany body. Also features 3-piece Maple neck, taped off edges for PRS style “binding”, thin Wizard neck, Lo Pro Edge tremolo and a great electronics package consisting of QM1/QM2 DiMarzio pickups and a Baggs piezo pickup system. Stereo outputs if you want to send the acoustic tones to a separate amp or use the mix controls to blend the magnetic and piezo through the same amp. Controls are: 5-way for selection of humbucker and single coil tones on the QM’s controlled by master volume and master tone; 3-way mini for choice of magnetic/piezo/both; volume for piezo and stacked pot for piezo bass/treble boost. This model appears to be available internationally but is a hard to find model in the USA. With a list price of $1600 you can expect to pay $1199 – if you can find one. This one is virtually “as new” and includes the thick, plush-lined Ibanez case for just $899.
Now, back to studying.0 -

Whatever amp I run everything else through
I'm way too lazy to lug two amps into a gig. The Ampeg has a nice clean channel too, and it's plenty heavy by itself, so there ya go.
Heh heh heh unless I can afford to pay someone to carry gear around, then I keep it to a minimum. Since I can't afford to pay someone... well you can see where this is going, can't ye?
Edit -> Actually, being honest, I couldn't be arsed carrying one amp to a gig so the answer is whatever amp happens to be there 0 -

Only if you're playing an acoustic, in which case you don't want ****loads of ampage rattling around the inside of your guitar. Piezo is just another way of creating an electrical signal out of a string vibration, there is no rulebook. I'll see how it sounds and I'll take it from there.
Could sound crap for all I know... in which case I'll sell it to you and buy the RG 0 -

That's what I'd do, though I'd get Mastercard onto it first. Then I'd say "I am cancelling my order because Mastercard says..." - I'd even tell them who I was transferring the order to and wish them the best in their future business.
The wiring in the bass is really quite beautiful, very clean indeed. I reckon I won't need to do anything meself 0 -
