.......................pics coming later on today, on my way to pick up my JVM from my amp tech who just modded it for me
looks like today is going to be a great day
Gain reduction mod
Od2-OD1 mod
Plexi cap mod
negative feedback mod
what a freaking difference, especially the negative feedback mod, it's on a pot so I can adjust it depending on whether I'm home practicing or open it up at rehearsal. Much smoother sounding more even mids and the green/orange/red modes balance much better now. I may have him put a pot in for the gain control as well, but ...turn up the negative feedback and thew open just comes alive .
very well spent $75.00
Now on to the guitar, I'm still letting it warm up but
Hint #1:
it's in a Prestige case.
1550M
the neck is perfect (for me) it's a touch wider and thicker (I think like 2MM) than a 550 neck. I never should've sold the choral mist 550 I had , I really missed having an RG around, so when no one bid on this one I emailed Jim(Meestersparkle)
Since I am a "repeat" customer he was open to doing an offline deal with me.
Got the Evo neck (I pulled out of my black Charvel) and the AT-1 bridge (I pulled out of my White Charvel haaha) to throw into this once it settles in to it's new home
I have the exact Same thing!! But mine has a zps. They are awesome, I really love the neck, those things play like butter! I need to sort my pickups out as I've no idea what's in it, so I might ask you what your thoughts are on those you've tried, but congrats.
thanks :smoking:
I really am liking the neck on this thing
so far my fav's in basswood (on a 6'er) are
Bridge:Gravity Storm by far my favorite Dimarzio pickup.
I like the Evo Bridge too but I think I like the GS a little better
Breed, a little too bright for my tastes but sounds great through Mesa's.
Might work in a darker guitar (for me anyway)
Neck: Gravity Storm /Air Norton/Evo I like all 3 of them
I have not tried the AT-1 in basswood yet I had it in my Charvel (Alder) and really liked it, think a warmer smoother JB)
In a 7620 I loved the BK Miracleman but I've never tried the 6 string version.
I haven't had a chance to plug this thing in yet are the stock pickups horrible (like usual Ibanez pickups)?
