Tried a model P and a spb-1 and they are both similar sounding IMO. Got the squier pup next. looking for something full sounding. The last 2 pups were kinda thin IMO. The dimarzio sounded cool thru a cranked amp since it was hot but for every gig use it was hard to dial in.

The Bill Lawrence P-46 is very full sounding. it sounds great in a band mix. my favorites are still Fralins though and i would like to try Lollars sometime.

In physically thinner instruments I've found hotter pickups pulled way back from the strings give me more of what I'm looking for. My V has a 21k bridge pickup

Yeah I was thinking of getting some thin foam and burying the pup. It has a good chunk of magnet on the bottom.

I wound up finding a used T Rex Jr for 60 here on TB,so now my 11 effect pedal board is powered by 2 friggin T Rex Jr isolated power bricks.
Why thank you sir! It's nice that someone appreciates my OCD hahaha

Those fuel tank jr's are great power supplies for the money, the only reason i went with the ISO5 over it is because i like having a heavy duty three prong power chord, and I wanted an 18v output.

He doesn't use the First Act guitars much anymore, not many of the artists they sponsored a few years ago do. They fired the guy who was their connect to the scene and decided that metal wasn't something they wanted to support so everyone pretty much gave them the finger. Which is why Matt went back to using Les Pauls again, I believe there was something else about the First Act contract saying he could only play the guitars with HoF so when Sleep reformed he went back to Gibsons and stuck with them.

NICE!!!! Your a freakin pedal making, demo churning out machine here lately. It's kinda funny a year ago you had almost no pedals and very little interest in them, now boom! Your churning out some wicked wicked ****. I remember that you had to borrow a delay pedal to test the Naki's FX loop because you said you never used delay and had no idea how to incorporate it into your style, and now today you pick up an El Capistan!

How's the 612 compare to an Ampeg 810, size wise? How's the weight and moving it?
