JS1000 thru Legacy Combo - How does it sound?

Given to Fly · #1 02-04-2002, 12:22 AM

Do any of you play a JS1000 through a Carvin Legacy? I'm debating about getting a new guitar here and I really like the white JS1000. I was just wondering if for some reason they sound bad together or something. May seem like a stupid question but I would rather ask and look stupid than buy a guitar and that I'm not sure of how it sounds with my amp. Thank You

I run a JS1000WH through a Legacy head and 4-12... Iain has a JS through a legacy too, well last he told me anyway!

I LOVE how it sounds... i dont think i would ever want another amp over a legacy *maby to add but not replace*. I like to use an eq to boost the sigional going to the amp to drive the tubes more but thats just because i have a particular tone i go for... it sounds great straight to the amp also.

Also the clean chanel on the Legacy is REALLY good and i like the presence option on it

sounds great with the PAF-PRO

hope this helps and ill be happy to help with any other questions you have

and oh ya, you said you were looking for a new guitar... so im guessing that you allready have the Legacy combo? what guitar do you use with it right now and what do you like/disslike about the combonation?

Wow Jay, catching ya in a second post! Your skills seem sharper than a tack! *meant that in a good way* I don't own the Legacy, but hopefully my JS1000BTB will be here by the end of Febuary! I have played the JS through a Legacy when Guitar Center had a used combo there (it was going for $999.99!!!!!) I liked the sound once I got Guitar Center to change the tubes in that thing! It had some pretty beat up tubes in it. The bottom end was breaking up and the sustain was like a hammer hitting a rock. After they changed it though it sounded great! I really liked the way the amp and the FRED pickup reacted to eachother. I'd still rather go for a Legacy head than a combo (I'm a half stack kinda guy). But yes, definetly not a "will seem stupid if you buy a JS" :biggrin:

Hey man are you getting one of the BTB's from Rich too? Are you the guy that has first pick?

I know I have second pick *but I figure out of the first 6 that Rich gets in there has to be more than 1 killer one in the bunch!!! *

I do, indeed, have a Legacy 1/2 stack. My TB sounds incredible through it, IMO

Only difference is that it has Evo's in it, instead of the stock pups.

rsvampire:
which guitar center was that .. san jose? (i notice you're at morgan hill) *I played a js1000 thru it myself - loved the sounds, but being a poor college kid made the 999 a bit much. :-/ *Oh well, as of three days ago, that amp was gone

JR

BTW, first thing i thought when he said Legacy combo for 999 i thought "that has to be the same amp anuj played" *LOL*

yup, played the vetta,
it's fantastic, but what i have (pod2 -> 100w crate bass amp fx return ;-)) sounds good enough to last me thru my poverty ;-)

Yes the guitar center in San Jose, Steven's Creek. And yes I believe I get the first picks on BTB's because I ordered mine a smidge before December :biggrin:
