Sweet. Nice collection. So what p'ups are in the JP's?

 

[OrangeChannel]

PRB: TZ and AN (both F-spaced)

MD: AirZone and AN (both F-spaced)

Hey Dudley...next time leave a lil' room for the covers!

 

[bearkat16]

Cool. Which bridge p'up do you like the best?

 

[Raz]

Man I thought for a sec they were EMG's on the MD...would that have been possible?

 

[OrangeChannel]

Never EMGs....unless on a Luke...I would not deliberately install them...too sterile for my general taste...

EMGs aren't chrome covered that I'm aware of...

 

[OrangeChannel]

Cool. Which bridge p'up do you like the best?

Generally the TZ of late...but the Air Zone is pretty sweet...as is the Virtual PAF in my Silo...I have a pretty good base for different sounds here...I also like alternate tunings...hehe.

The MD looks awesome!
Killer EBMM neck plus super Pups!

How does she sound?

 

[AxSport4me]

Yeah the Tone Zone is a great p/u! If anyone gets a chance,check out a DiMarzio Fred p/u.....came in a Ibanez JS2000 that i have and it is absolutely amazing for all types of music!!!!!

I say we all send OC $25 so he can get to SLO.

But I'm not doing it unless everyone else does.

If I wanna blow $25, I'll buy 1/2 a tank of gas.

Wow, the Mysty Pet looks really nice with the pup covers!
Here's a dumb question, how do the covers affect the sound?
I imagine it to be a bit brighter.

Pickup covers dull the sound (if they're metal and not plastic). They induce eddy currents which interfere with the induced current in the pickup. Same thing happens with a pickup that isn't wound properly. Taking them off will brighten up the sound.

You're Silo is so sweet!! When I will be buying an EBMM it will be exactly the same Silo but with non-matching headstock. I'll put a note in my signature that your axe inspired my purchase

Warmer rounder tone actually...it also helps that the pups are more vintagey...

I love that silo!

 

[OrangeChannel]

I love that silo!

Thanks man! Sapphire Black is a great finish....really! The Virtual PAFs in it are pretty sweet too...

 

[lock-ny]

I got a silo special in pearl blue with a black pealriod pickguard, think forgman has a pic of me with is somewhere and I put a duncan distortion trembucker in the bridge, the guitar sounds excellent for heavy music now, I also changed out the vintage saddles to the axis saddles and now the guitar rulez, but I want to get a 24 fret silo and was actually looking into that color with the matching headstock, its a beautiful guitar - russ
