Nice catch, that's what it was! They play it a half step down, though. cool song

 

[Sweat]

Hey Pete!

Now that you've put it through your Soldano, how would you compare it to the 20th Anni. Silo???

 

[JMB27]

Pete,

thank you for posting that youtube clip. I can already feel my defenses weakening about adding in any more Balls to the collection ......

and, to echo some of what Foggy just posted - thoughts/ideas/comparative video of the 20th Anni and the 25th Anni ... please?

cheers always, eh

Joel

GO PETE!

Great clip and amazing pictures, I got in last night and looked at the first image for 10 minutes - It was talking to me: -

Buy me buy me....

The guitar looks amazing! Thanks for the photos and vid, Pete!

I wonder why they made this one have a "flat" neck heel, though, instead of the slanted/moulded like on the std. and BFR Axis models (and the Silhouettes for that matter)?


As for this vs. the 20th Silo, Pete said to me yesterday that in comparison, the 20th is more darker and focused, while the 25th seems to breathe more, along with the higher output. I'm sure he can elaborate on that here, though.

Can you explain ? As I don't understand what you are talking about

Sure man..

That is just awesome.

Thanks for the explanation

I may be wrong but look the same as a regular ASS

I will try and do a 20th Silo/25th EBMM comparison later on this weekend. Right now the Silo is set up for C-standard with ultra mega not even slinky strings, so it won't be a fair comparison until they are both strung with Regular Slinky strings.

As far as the neck heel goes, you get even easier access to the upper frets! Personally that is a big comfort factor to me, as I tend to do a bit of twiddling up around 15-21.

Here are a couple more shots...

Yes, it's similar, but instead of the slanted contour down towards the neck from the neck plate, it's straight/flat down on the 25th. Probably more like on the JP:

I can see that it gives you higher fret access, though, as the std./20th neck heel has a tendency to settle your hand in a comfortable spot, instead of necessarily allowing you to reach further up.

Really looking forward to the comparison, Pete!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

The neck heel is like the JP.

 

[Big Poppa]

It is very easy to play the upper frets. We addressed access and made tons of tiny changes that collectively mak a big difference. THis is a completely different guitar with its own personality. THis wasnt a cosmetic repackage but a ground up design
