RG1570 + P-up's or Musicman?

shogun · #1 01-10-2008, 02:52 PM

Hello. After my recent renting of a jsx that ended in me returning the amp and not choosing to buy, I still have some GAS that needs to be burned. I currently own:

-EBMM JP (2005 i think)
-EBMM AXIS SS (22 fr. maple neck)
-Ibanez RG1570 (pickups swapped with duncans)

-----------------

My question is, should I get another Musicman (silhouette)... or should I get another Ibanez?

I love the neck on my RG. I mainly play lead, however I do play in a hardrock/metal band. I am not a huge fan of floating trems, and I would probably block the trem if I decided to get another 1570 (in the red.) If I get another RG, I will load it with different pickups, for a different sound. The difference in tone from the JP to the Axis is huge. If I got a silhouette, I would get 24 frets, rosewood fingerboard, HsH or maybe even SSS.

I play many styles of music, but jazz-fusion is my biggest interest.

What do you guys think?

You smell, your funny looking, you have skid marks in your underpants, and you still wet your bed. You already have good guitars. If you were looking at an amp you must want one. Use the money to find what you want Smelly.

to be honest, i bought a single distortion pedal that dried up my gas to a controllable amount.

Get a 1570 and put some new pickups in it.

You bought a JSX and didn't like it? What didn't you like about it, if you don't mind me asking Shogun?

If you don't like trems, get an RGA-321

i rented it and used it on an album. i loved the amp, just didnt think it was the last big amp purchase that i make in the next year or 2... it sounded great down low and up high, good for rhythm or for lead.. smooth, not grainy.. you never know, i still may end up with one.. the one thing it may have been lacking is a compressed, controlled tone.. that is what I truly want. right now i am running a fender deluxe + some pedals.. i can run it into my 412 if i need to, and I still have my 6505+, though I am selling it.

I used to rag on the jsx, but I def changed my mind about it. it's a killer amp

this looks convincing assuming the machine heads are nice.

Oh my god, EBMM by a very long way., All the necks are hand finished, and very great care is taken throughout the factory. The guitars are easily the best I have ever played.

A 1570 does not even compare to a Silho.
