Which pickups did joe have in new day yesterday live? (Page 5 of 6)

I was gonna buy a ls gold, because I like the mid boost now that I realized how to use it and Joe actually uses it A LOT if you look closely. I'll be getting a used set of 3 for 50$ + shipping/tax so I'll be getting 3 used for the price of one new

See how that will work out, if it's a bust I'm sure I can sell them for the same amount and if not I haven't lost much money.

My brother in-law is in a hardcore band and got rid of is very used Mesa Dual Rec and got a Spider Valve Head, has it running through an Orange Cab and he uses a semi-hollow body Ibanez guitar.  His sound is pretty huge, warm and allot of sizzle but far from bluesy.  If I can I will see if I can get a recording to post or link.  I think the cab and the guitar have allot to due with this. His influence is John Christ (Danzig) and you can really tell in his clean parts.

ZampraZ I still think you are making a good tone decision.  My theory on tone is that you should be able to get at least 90% of "The Tone" with just the amp and guitar only.  After that you just pepper in the other 10% with blended amps, overdrives, delays, reverb, etc to fill out the sound as needed.  I picked up a 50 watt Dailey C-series head (based on the old plexis but has to my ears some of that Dumble "chirp" ) and 2x12 cab.  I am mostly using just that one amp and my Les Paul getting rediculous results.  I add a subtle delay and my Fulldrive for a sustain/mid boost.  That setup does about 95% of what my overly elaborate larger rig does!  So did you decide on the Marshall VM over the Ceriatone  2550?  Inquiring minds need to know!

Yep, I think you've got it! Great playing too!

That sounds great man!  I think the Lace Sensors was a good move.  That is the tone that I remember out of any Clapton Strat that I've played.  It's clear, but very thick without any of that piercing twang that you get on most vintage style stratocasters.  BTW you are a smoking player!  You should make that Marshall scream!

I don't think there is a comparison between a mass produced, pcb amp (VM) and a hand wired, well built, well reviewed amp for a similar price. I think it's a no brainer, I'd go for the Ceritone!

Also, I like a humble player...but that is not crap playing, and you know it!

Great playing man.  You've got a great strat sound.

Hehe, thanks guys. All I'm saying is, there was alot of fast lick-wankin and less good choice of notes. But maybe that worked for that song.

For an amp cabinet, I don't really care as long as it's the cheapest option.
The price for the Ceriatone 2555 with shipping is $1200 to Sweden, or the 2550 for $1035 with shipping.
So after taxes the 2550 would land at $1430 and the 2555 at $1640.
The VM would cost about the same, but sometimes there are used ones for 3/5 the price. Naturally this plan rests on the fact that I can convince my mother to buy me a 4x12 . If not, I won't have the $ for either of those choices. But either way I'm getting the 4x12 first.
