Having a browse

Post by Olderama »

today in wellington Rockshop and Musicworks

These tickled my middle

BOB BALCH SIGNATURE
Designed in collaboration with Bob Balch, riffmeister with stoner rock/fuzz metal progenitors Fu Manchu. The understated elegance belies the hot rod nature of this rock machine, which is based on our acclaimed Sensei platform. Unique features include: beveled body edges, satin finish, and a strategic tone chamber under the pickguard for increased resonance. Railhammer Bob Balch Signature pickups complete the package, featuring ceramic magnets and brass covers/baseplates for a thick tone with enhanced midrange clarity that can handle everything from fuzz riffs to jazz comping.

Not at all a fan of the Jazzmasters with the HH. They just sound wrong/bad. That Reverend looks quite nice though.

I'm so in the SG camp on this one!
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.
