PRS Update

[steve]

I'd like to get a sound similar to Carlos Santana's PRS but with perhaps a bit more edge, not quite as smooth if that makes sense. Right now it just sounds dead.

The new "almost/kind of released" Abraxas is a first stop for Santana-ish vibes, though the suggestions of the Crawlers for a touch more edge also sound reasonable to me.  I haven't listened to the VHII clips as much, I confess, but they might be worth checking ....  (I'm on a quest to decide on a Santana or souped-up-Santana vibe for my LP's neck pickup.)

Now, though, is a good time for me to call out for more Abraxas clips from anyone who can make 'em :)

Im getting a set of Abraxas humbuckers in the next few days,what kind of demo would you guys like to hear? Let me know and ill russle something up in the next week or so.
Cheers.

Cool!  If you take requests ....

Natch, some obligatory Santanoid woman tones, to set the mood. 8) But I'd also be interested in hearing a) clean tones and b) cranked power chord riffs. I expect  the Abraxas to perform well in classic-toned mediumish gain situations, but it'd be neat to hear it going through its paces at closer to the either of the gain spectrum's extremes!

An Abraxas neck pup is what I'm most keen on (perhaps paired with a 'Pig down below :twisted:) but both neck and bridge pups would be cool to hear! :)

The intro to 'Blues the Healer' would be nice start. And 'Well Alright' is a good Santana rock classic. :)

Ok...it will be a original track and i will try and incorporate your ideas into the tune.As soon as i get the pickups installed and the guitar set up ill get cracking on it.
Any more ideas just PM me,cheers.
