Holy moly....It can cop superstrat & LP'ish tones...I am floored...was able back the 2204 chan vol down & no fizz at all but crunch & seering leads, think some old school music is gong to come out of us
25.5 14 radius
EMG Retroactive Pickups
Sustainiac
There is some guitars in this house...when you get a guitar that is this balanced with tonaly clear pickups for gain work. Won't do clean too well..not for that. Only guitar i own in it's league is my Gibson SGJ..it fast like this & 61 alnico pups are a hot/passive not high res but cutting. If i could send this to Robert H for a test run i would,,the pickups could be that crossover of an active with passive qualities..it;'s not sterile on clean but straty if need be..it can quack & shred. Absolutely flawless guitar & the most balanced one i ever strapped upSVSS1 (2).jpgSSVS2.jpgSSVS5.jpgSSVS3.jpg

Thanks..learning it...into 2204...can throw as much gain at it compared to my other guitars. It won't muddy up or distort on its own ..it's a lead players dream. So precise..nothing harmonically happening in the backgroumd that seems out of place. Not as sterile as the EMG 's have experienced before..but not quite into passive land. That is tough sometimes if you are using the guitar for the tone...these pups expose the amp more...more of a linear soundline from guitar to speakers...but that is what i think this is for..total control of your notes at all time. Neck is sleek,,my fingers land right on notes ...sometime have to look on certain guitars. It is thin but not ibanez thin

Would think it would do good in a Mesa Rec..it would handle that low end with clarity. I dont thonl the pickups would add mud..it palm mutes very tight..it invites the heavies but seem to have more control.
 
oh ..the reason tried this one first..its a mahogany body..so it is a lil darker which i prefer that.

Control over your notes sounds like control (vibe) over a good amp to me ;)

def 1 area i have no issue with . I play the amp & ride the guitar knobs vs pedals .

mean ,take a passive pickup hit a 2204 at a level they are designed to work at..which is power tubes up. It will not be as clear. I compared all afternoon...this is a a very clean signal goin in..you can hear the diference very clearly..and the crunch is so tight. For those that are lead players its a dream...you have nothing between you & the amp. that can vary & its at a ;level that isn't a screaming 18k passive It is a constant signal that is very controllable in comparison. i can see why some don't like actives..you hear words sterile....low...type explanations.....which is exactly what they do..you can ad so much gain in comparison without the signal deteriorating into fizz or mush.
 
Love it, badass looking with the blackout cosmetics and sounds like it kicks but for tone and playability. Nice score, man.

Funny they call it Sun Valley...I can't think of many less rawk places than Sun Valley (the other SoCal guys will know what I mean)

Awesome!!!!!

Another great thing about the EMG is they are super quiet, unaffected by EFI/RFI and they don't feedback!!!!!!

We skated in Maryland growing up in the '70's and early '80's but the parks were lame and they shut them down. I quit for many years but then around 2002 there was an explosion of new park construction here in SoCal. It's like every community has a skate park, and there's a huge group of old fools around the area who never got over the parks all closing in the '80's who were eager to get back out there and I was one of them. I skated every park in Southern California, usually 4 times a week, up until just a few years ago when I got a hernia and my Dr. advised against any more vert skating (pools, snake runs, half pipes) unless I wanted another. Well, I love vert, so I had to give it up. If I went to a skatepark and tried to "take it easy" it would be too much and not long before I was dropping into the biggest pool there, so better to just stop while I'm ahead.

No, never did do that. My first skate was a hardwood G&S, not exactly a pool/park board. Next up was a Dogtown Bulldog (interesting aside: the decks I skated from '02 up until I had to quit are made by Wes Humpston, the OG Dogtown guy. They are called Bulldog Skates, and every year Wes does a Bulldog Jam somewhere on the West Coast and I took my old deck to one of them to have him sign it and he told me it was one of the first 100 that they ever made, in his Mom's garage in Santa Monica. He could date it due to the shape of the wheel wells, which he did by hand with a sander).

We'd go to any skatepark we could get transportation to. There were a few around Baltimore, a couple South around DC and one time we convinced my buddy Brad's hot mom to drive us to Cherry Hill NJ, to what was purported to be the best park on the East Coast at the time.
 
This was my favorite skate before I had to stop:

full


It's an 11 x 34 compound radius top park deck with Tracker Full Tracks and BDS Black Death wheels sporting Rockin' Rons bearings. The artwork is a bit dicked up from hitting coping, but you can see from this and if you do a Google search that Wes hasn't lost his edge. I think this was taken at the Duarte Skatepark

Funny thing is, gball was likely east coast Howard County MD during the Dogtown Z boys days. We had some nice parks to skate, as well as homemade ramps, drains, streets, etc. Lansdowne, Concrete Wave, Cascade, Ocean Bowl,,

Towson & Lansdowne

Unlike the rest of my blog, this post is not about one specific spot, like the Ditch or Lutherville, or even thematically grouped, like launch ramps or mini ramps. It is instead about two very diff…

Yup those are the spots. The Concrete Wave was the biggie since it was so close to us.
