Thanx SPKirby.

Here is an Axis Sport that they are saying is an ASS.

Ah, just like my old one. Not sure I'd want to buy from punk rockers if I was in the market anyway! Plus in one pic on their auction the guitar is a hardtail and in another it has a trem. hmmm!

 

[GWDavis28]

Yah agree, but you could always email them for real pictures to see the real condition.

There was one more, pretty much the exact same thing. My Sport is this set up and I have to say it's the best combination.

Tony, I had a thread with sound files, but I don't have a place to host the mp3s anymore. send me your email address and I send you a couple of samples in the next day or so.

That's actually the one I'm most interested in. I did get the seller to send me more pictures, and it does look to be in great shape. Maybe some light pick swirl, but looks great!! Neck has some light flame.

the price isn't bad either.

Tony there was another one but I didn't post it.

Thanks Glenn,

Those are great! Now it opens up a whole new can of worms. TRem or hardtail? Maple or Rosewood. Man, I wish I had one to try out beforehand!!!!

 

[GWDavis28]

Tony, NP, too bad you weren't closer man, you could try mine out.

Maybe there is someone else that a bit closer that has one you can try?

[GWDavis28]

Tony here is an Axis Sport, but it doesn't have MM90's on it.

Whats for sale next Rob?

You ever had a Sport?

[robelinda2]

Nothing for sale at the moment, never had a Sport, but several Super Sports.

Jack, really which one man?? Shrewsbury?? Is it a Sport or an ASS??

Glenn |B)

Look at their on line site (or don't if you don't have the budget).....

It's not physically in Shrewsbury, but you could get it there. White ASS mm90 trem.



Don't ask me about the orange fully loaded JP they have, though. Just don't ask......

[TonyEVH5150]

Anybody have a MM-90 loaded Axis Sport that they'd be willing to let me borrow, just to try it out?? I'd pay shipping both ways, and swear on a stack of bibles that I will send it back to you in its original condidtion (ie, the way it was when you shipped it to me), maybe even with a new set of Titanium Coated Hybrid Slinkies as a thank you.

Alternately, Rob, I'd be glad to help you with getting an Axis Sport, if you'll let me try it out before I send it your way.

Man, i want one SOOO bad, but I think my wife will kill me if I spend money on a guitar right now.

I now have 3 mm90 sports.My styles are country rock,blues,rock.It does it all beautifully...really good guitars..I have both maple and rosewood boards..both are excellent..maple maybe a bit slipprier.

Jack, I've been to the Shrewsbury one before man, but they've never had any MM's.

Whats the deal with the JP man?? Spill??

I even like how the bridge gains up, its not thin at all.

agreed.....couldn't make that assesment until tonight....something just clicked (not literally) and I really started enjoying those bridge tones. Better check my amp, sometimes my daughter sneeks in there and changes it up without my knowledge......I guess I'll need to thank her if she did.

 

[robelinda2]

Yeah I slightly roll the volume back a tad for overdrive on the bridge pup, but I find if I have to work harder to get a certain tone the results are always really good.

 

[luv]

I'm actually going clean on it right now at a relatively low volume.....getting a little bit of country twang in there but I'm digging in and getting some amazing percussion........

.......these pickups are just outstanding!
