This is going to be a HILARIOUS question on this wonderful forum. I recently got my vintage sunburst Silo and put Breeds in there. This thing kicks MAJOR a$$, especially that of my Ibanez :eek: , lol. I actually got the Ibnz pretty recently as well and was in love with it for a while. I was trying to convince myself that I would ALWAYS play this geetar. It's a nice one with a neck through and I put the Steves Special and Air Norton in there. It sounds good and looks pretty awesome, but it has nothing on the Silo. I want me another Silo in Carbon Blue Pearl with abolone PG, rosewood, matching head, and tremolo and piezo. So I am thinking wether to sell this thing to fund the Silo and also basically a replacement? Isnt that the MOST ridiculous question you guys have ever heard here??? :eek: lol
Plus I am really turned off by the floating tremolo. I was intrigued by it a lot just a little bit ago, but it is just not part of my style to do freakin insanity with it like Vai. The MM tremolo is more than enough for what kinda treming I do. Plus you gotta freakin take FOREVER with the locking crap, and tuning is the biggest bitch. I went to a recording studio in NYU a few days ago to get some stuff down, and all I was doing was tuning even with the locking tremolo. Anyway, just thought this would be entertaining :rolleyes: .

SELL, SELL, SELL that ibanez, you won't regret it, i use to have a couple of ESP's with a floating trem and never really cared that much for them either. I traded my 2 ESP's for 2 EBMM and have never once second guessed myself.
:cool:

Yea, I'm most likely gonna do it, but still am not probably gonna make as much off of this thing as I would like. Plus I like my EBMMs made specifically for me. I dunno how it is with other dealers around the US, but here they are pretty expensive. No real complaints about that, just that it's gonna take longer for me to order my 2nd one than I would like :( .

A. It depends on what kind of Ibanez it is.

I have a JEM and a J Custom that I do not see myself letting go of.

B. It depends on how good your setup was done. With a good setup, a locking floating trem will stay in tune for days, and it also has to do with your tuning skills with those types of trems. There are some tricks.

That's the only thing keeping me from selling my Ibanez RG7620 to buy a JP7. They're freakin' worthless anymore, might as well hang onto it.

Well I kinda have NO idea what I was thiking that time!!! I LOVE my freakin Ibnz. I know this is complete blasphemy, but it freakin kicks a$$. I havent played it in a while, and plus I set it up like sh** the other time. It sounds really beautiful with the Air Norton and Steve's Special in there and the neck through really gives the thing INSANE sustain. Still of course no comparison to my Silo, but that's because they are different. the Silo has better quality and is very comfortable with that AWESOME neck and the frets. But the Ibnz is a really AWESOME shredding machine. It has the flat radius and the thin neck, and the mahagony body gives it a really dark but SINGING tone to it. I guess the next EBMM will have to wait much longer. It was just an impulsive thing to think, plus the stupid set up I decided to do. I leveld the tremolo this time and put the springs in the original formation (parallel to each other and not slanted inwards). But DAMN, I still want the CBP Silo with piezo!!!!!!!! Somebody wanna help me rob a bank??? :p
