THANKS!!!!

Pro-Fusion:
I've used the XL500's since they first came out, some time in the mid/late 80's I think it was. They're high-output, but not so trebly really, IMO. Most of the guitars I've used them in have been V's but I've got one in my Mexi-Strat and it seems to be much brassier/trebly in that. I've tried other pups in my RR1 (JB's and a Golden Age from Stew Mac) but they just didn't have the same tonal qualities as the XL500. I thought it was kinda cool that the XL500's came stock on my '93 Rhoads. Anyways...

About the treble control, I have never, ever, used mine. It's always maxed-out. Don't know if I'm missing on some great sound or anything, but usually when I need a fat, bassier tone I switch to my neck pup. Thing is, with IGNITOR I don't need anything but the bridge pup on max-treble, so for these first few customs they'll be as basic as possible, primarily because they'll be my touring guitars. But also because I want to keep my rig/gear as simple as I can for playing live. The last band I was in I used quite an array of effects, processing, and pickup changes live and I was always tethered to my footboard, which of course limited my mobility. Now, I only use a TU-2 on the floor, but I'm considering building a larger rack unit to house my Furman, 362 Sonic Maximizer, and want to get a DTR2000 as well. Ideally, I'd really like to eliminate the TSL100 head and pick up a JMP-1 and an EL34 100/100 and a rack-mount wireless and just stick 'em all in one rack case. Hopefully that will happen in the not-too-distant future!

Cool man...make your own sig series!

[jackson1]

Annah, simply awesome you getting endorsed! Your mock up Rhoads will look cool on you.

Regarding the EL34 100/100... if that is the Marshall 9200, I've heard quite a few touring players getting problems with the electronics after some use and touring. Apparently it's not as rock solid as it should be. I had a 9100 and it was okay, but it was a bedroom amp - it never toured.

Many Congrats Annah on your endorsement !

[straycat]

Hey 40 ain't that old.Its a good age, old enough to know better and young enough to kick ass(if you have to).
Mock up is cool,BL 500 is a good choice depending on your amp.I got a lot of chatter with a BL 500XL thru a JCM 800 but not thru a JMP.The newer Marshalls may be different.

As we say around these here parts..."Twernt Nuthin'". It would have been cool to put the IGNITOR logo on the dog tag. but I didn't have it. I just listened to "Half Life" earlier today. I DL'd it a while back from the board...cool stuff.
