Hi!
I now had my Axis Super Sport for about a year. I am now selling the A.S.S. and in the market for a new EBMM.

Here is what I am looking for;

-Thick and warm tone
-slightly wider neck than A.S.S. with same or thicker neck than A.S.S. Petrucci=little too thin and little too wide for me
-Neck radius must be 10" or more
-Piezo option
-BOdy that is little more comfotable holding on my lap( A.S.S. was not too comfy)
-Versitility would be a big plus

I appreciate all of your inputs.

Morse Y2D or 20th anv. silhouette are my guesses, altough only silhouette has piezo option
 
Not sure if the Morse Y2D would be any more comfortable though.

You looking for contours on front and back?
 
What aspect(s) of your Axis SS are a turnoff for you?

I don't know about the neck other than that it's got a 10" radius, but a Silo might fit the bill. It's got dual humbuckers, a comfortable body, a piezo option, and some coil splitting that I imagine would give you some pretty decent single coil sounds (plus an actual real single coil in position 3).

The 20th Anniversary Silo is beautiful and should be comfortable, but it won't be as versatile as a Silo or the Axis SS.

I like the A.S.S. but I can not afford to buy another EBMM unless I sold this one. Having said, the neck is little too narrow and body didn't feel so comfy on my lap.

I have a question. Why would a regular Silo be more versitile than 20th anniversary? Is there a price difference between the Silo and 20th Silo?

THanks
