Hey Wired,

Does the Axis sport have good single sound? Like a stratish tone ala Gilmour or Knopher sound?


The 2 & 4 positions both give you a nice single coil sound. The only thing you don't really get is a single at the bridge or neck, you're always running at least 2 coils in each position. I think the split positions work best for cleaner rhythm playing.

The single coil neck pup on a Sil Special will get you that Gilmour creamy lead tone.

on the ASS you have a kind of in between position where you can get one coil only from the humbucker (between pos 1 &2 and between pos 5 & 4) :D

not the kind of thing you will do live but at home, move the selector slowly you should find it !

Sounds like I need a Silo with the 3 coils. I think I need to dump my fender guitars because after a month of owning an EB guitars, the feel of the fender does not seem right to me anymore.
Thanks guys!

All of us have been through this ah ah ah. We call it GAS (Guitar Aquisition Syndrom), ALAS (only for Robelinda) or Welcome to the addiction (but you have to pay royalty to koogie)

even Foggy been through that, but for him it always take 5000 post per guitar :D. During the first 5000 he was collecting pictures, now he is probably collecting Videos :p

Just Kidding Foggy, I love you :D

Actually, I've always collected the vids and mp3s posted here! I have 204 files :p
YouTube seems to have killed that a tad! ;)
