I played a rare, predominantly instrumental, jazz oriented gig last night with my keyboard player and drummer. This is very unusual for us as we generally use a female vocalist and do "top 40" and oldies etc. It was an invitation only, grand opening of a new supper club that will eventually cater to mostly jazz and dinner music. High vaulted minimalist ceilings, granite floors, no stage, lots of glass and I was set up inches from a dining room table...probably the worst type of place to play or at the least when you walk in you say to yourself, "why the he@# are we here??"
So, I break out the Axis Sport and for the first time in years plug directly into my JC90. The only effect was my Alesis Microverb in the effect loop. I really didnt even have the floor space for my always present EB Vol pedal.
Well, the evening was a home run!! I felt like I was a kid again plugging my 335 into my first 50 watt 1x12 amp.
The Sport was beyond great...it smoked. What a sound and tone! Ive been playing this gtr for a few years but always in conjunction with my effects board, volume pedal etc and I really have forgotten how "pure" and inspiring a great gtr can be without all the signal crushing junk.
Anyway, I just thought Id share yet another testimony to how wonderful EBMM gtrs are. Happy New Year to all!!
