Which Skid Row? Gary Moore or Seb Bach...

Ha! Title doesn't say it all... and what do you want to know? :P

Gary Moore played with Skid Row???

Scotti Hill and Dave Sabo: the first two albums from SKID ROW.
Which BK pup in an LP to get those liquid fanastic tones?

I think a Holy Diver would get you close, but a Miracle Man could be a diferent but good alternative.

Both Dave and Scotti used a Duncan JB so Holy Diver is the best bet.

Remember alot of the sound of the first album was the ADA MP1 rack pre-amps and Michael Wagner production.

On Slave to the Grind they used very different rack gear but the same pickups in Chris 'Lumpy' Hofschneider custom parts guitars .

Hope that helps.

I'd have said
Cold sweat, Miracle man or Holy Diver

But having an ADA MP1 and Michael Wagener is the essential part :lol:

Debut Skid Row LP was an awesome sounding album!

I tried a CS and it was  tad lacking in the mids for my tastes so I'll order a Holy Diver.

Right now I have RY, Crawler, and BD: all are very cool in their own way but the BD might get replaced by the Holy Diver for some more power.

Thank so kindly for you advice; I appreciate it!
