Title: will it suit?
Post by: mia on April 08, 2006, 09:29:51 PM

hi guys, basically, would an apache in the middle position sit well with an Mississippi Queen in the neck and a Nailbomb in the bridge of a super strat?...or would a mothers milk be a better option?

You might wanna go with a Slowhand in the middle ... Hmmm, not really sure about that one! MQ in the neck sounds great!!!

I'll side with TO. I remember Tim saying he likes the Slowhand a lot in HSH guitars. Even though you have a Mississippi Queen in the neck I'd say it's close enough to a humbucker  that those three pickups should rock.

What guitar do you have it in anyway? That combo sounds killer.

I think you'll find it too polite and transparent-Mother's Milk, Irish Tour or Slow Hand would be better-giving you progressively more mid as you go from MM to SH.

well im aiming for a very nice clean sound from the middle possition. So it looks like a mothers milk may be the best bet. Its and Ibanez RG2570E VSL.

The slowhands are quite dark in sound arent they?...how dark?
