I'm gonna retube it soon and see if that helps. I'm not worried about the low end from the warpig, cause I can always turn my bass down. My bass is at full right now. The output might be a little high though, so maybe I can get an underwound set.

I use a fulltone fulldrive 2 mosfet, and an MXR custom bad ass modified od. I keep the fulldrive on all the time, and use the MXR for more compression on certain parts.

I'll post a link to my band to get you an idea of the style I currently play. (this isn't stoner rock, but one song is)

I am currently writing, and seeking members for a heavy $%&#ing stoner/sludge/hardcore/whatever band though.

I have a question. How was your JB scooped??? Mine was pretty much pure midrange.


Mine too.

Me too, wouldn't associate JB with scooped.

Agree. I found the JB midrange to be bloaty and  muddy.

Cheers Stephan

Seems to be the favourite. Definitely the direction we're going in too.

I'll second the HD alternative. I have one in my Vintage Les Paul and it suits the guitar perfectly. I must say that the HDs turned it into my most versatile guitar. And especially with the neck pickup, which delivers some great warm tones, mostly when gain is backed down a notch.

The only thing the HDs doesn't deliver is the high end grit from the Nailbombs, so it's not really as aggressive for djenty tones. But that can also be from the nature of the Les Paul scale length.

I really dig my HDs in my lester, I can do anything with that guitar (almost :))
