You lucky bas*ard  :wink:

Very nice playing there dude, loverly tone, really nice and relaxing.

I'm tempted to get a VH2 for the neck of my V with a miracle man in the bridge or a calibrated set of miracle men.

You might find it too powerful for a neck.............if you want a similar tone but voiced for the neck go for...............VHII neck.It's a special wind, still good and strong but clear too! 8)

OK, who's the deaf idiot that voted 'poor' on this one.............c'mon own up, let's hear what you've got to say!
I can understand maybe not personally liking this type of tone or playing but poor it is not.The playing is first class, very tasteful and with excellent phrasing, the tone...........pure Gary Moore.

your making me blush guys :oops: . however i too would love to know what the person didnt like about it. thats why i put the poll; to find honest opinions.

i tell u what, to change the subject to the complete oposite of poor(in my opinon of course, lol). i have just purchased a THD Univalve. it will be with me in about 2 weeks. i cant wait!!! can u imagine how the VH2's and the THD will sound together. im not sure if my SM57 will be able to handle all the sonic info. ill be sure to post somthing as soon as i get it.

If it sounds anything like my VHII equipped Strat through a VHT, you will be made up. :-)

PS - extremely impressed with your playing. I'm sure the person who voted 'poor' was expressing their opinion of their opinion...  :lol:

I gotta' say I don't hate it. Far from it.

Great playing and tone. I don't think it's too mushy at all.

the Guitar i used was a 1990 RG 550, i put the pickups in these as i was told that basswood allows you to hear the true sound of the pickup without any extra colouring.

Really nice sound and playing.  It reminded me a bit of the newer Stan Webb things (Chicken Shack - Still Live After All These Years).  It is interesting to hear how the basswood affects the tone of the VHII.  I have mine in a PRS with a maple cap and I don't think they have quite as much bass.  They are a really versatile pickup (Versatile Humbucker Too perhaps  :roll: ).  In the PRS, the split pickup sounds are great too.

What other equipment were you using?
