Hi guys,

this is a follow up post after the MM i ordered for my other jackson. The MM smokes and eats EMG for breakfast :twisted:

I will do a honest review here about the NB and how it works wih th RR1. The RR1 guitar is a tricky pony with pickups. It's a little bit thin with the combination of alder wings, maple neck and ebony fretboard. it's a bright sounding guitar just like Randy liked.

I have an ESP SV Standard, rhoads as well, Nailbomb works great. I can really nail that CoB tone.

I have a rack which contains:

Korg DTR-1000 tuner
Peavey Rockmaster tube preamp (4x 12ax7!)
Korg DL8000r delay
VHT 2/90/2 poweramp

and
Bogner Überschall cab (2x V30, 2x G12T-75)

Miles of headroom with the vht and no farting with the bogner cab. Me and my band are recording a new demo, it'll take about few weeks to mix and master it, you can really hear how nice lead sound the peavey has (and nailbomb of course! :lol:), I'll post some songs when it's ready.

Awesome, looking forward to the clips!

Out of subject but what kind of tubes do you have?

I have tried many tubes through the years and i bought my first set of JJ tubes a couple of years ago and they sound sizzling amazing!. A tip check with Bob at eurotubes and just try one in the Peavey the Phase inverter tube and you will have the big grin on tour face!. Order them from eurotubes.com

I have Electroharmonix 5660 power tubes and 6 JJ12AX7 tubes

When I bought the rockmaster (used), it had JJs but I needed a bit more so I replaced them with Tung-Sols, what was rock became heavy metal. Great articulation and very musical.

The VHT has stock KT-88s.

What colour/ finish did you go for i'm pretty much set on the nail bomb for my ESP RV, i'm just not sure on the finish, i'll probably go with the uncovered since it will match in with the duncan jazz thats in the neck.

Ok never tried them but i will. One thing is that.... when i buy JJ´s from Bob they sound much better then in the local shop. Expecially the PI tube it sounds so huge and crunchy, sizzling just like it should.

BTW the NB is in the house in two days :P

Cool pictures of the guitar Neemo, nechthru vs rules. ll post some of my gits aswell in short with the pickups in

I bought a black, covered, plain NB with the 52 mm spacing. I was worried to take it plain because i have always had matt covers. I haven't recieved it yet but the MM pickup looks awesome.

Cover the Duncan jazz and order a covered NB !?
