To my ears, EVOs dos't sound that good in Basswood. Too high output. That's just me however, because there's a lot of people here that have put Evos in their RGs.
thanks bud satch is one of my favorite guitarists, and i'd love to have his crazy harmonics an awesome tonehonky_tonk said:good choice
In the end it always end up with personal preferences... I never really like evo in basswood but some like iteviltwin said:Evo + basswood are a very powerful combo, it works in my HAM, it was also standard in the BSB and Jem10. Make sure you mate it to a decent tube amp though, if you don't like that 'in your face' tone.
I think Freds are too thin. But whatever floats your boat...
I think it's more of a preference thing. I played an Evo in Basswood through a hybrid amp, so I can't really say anything.vmx23 said:Evo works perfectly fine in my basswood RG. Yes, it's bright and that is perfect in a tube amp because it really pushes the tubes. It is also perfect for live performance because it cuts extremely well.
I can understand how some won't like it in solid state amp, just like how most overdrive pedals tend to sound like **** in solid state amps but amazing with tube amps.
