The DC 127 Alt 8 / Sentient just a GREAT sounding set up! To me this one is the JB /Jazz set on steroids!! Bigger fatter smoother just more of everything but still has that traditional vibe of a hot PAF set. The Sentient Alt 8 set up right now is my all time favorite combo. I had the Alt in my parts box for a while and when i picked up that old KOA DC 127 thought what the heck and dropped it in the guitar worked so well started looking for a neck match and tried the Sentient. IMO that combo just works!!

The Alt 8 / Sentient set up in the KOA DC 127 through my little Boogie Subway Rocket and is a little better true representation of that set ups real tone. What's funny is the Gravity Storm seems brighter by itself than the Alt. However when you hear it in a mix the Alt just slices through the mix like crazy due to that mid punch!!

I feel like your guitar is just a hair too low in the mix. I have a hard time focusing on it.

I agree, might be the recording but the guitar was definitely not turned up enough...granted, I've played in Church bands for years and the sound guys never seemed to like guitars ;)

Was why in particular I posted that last clip was a little more prominent in the mix at that place. The first clips I think our sound guy has to much gain on me as through my amp it's a lot cleaner.

Haha! Indeed it is!

The ones I've worked with (if you could call it that) had volume all the way up on vocals and keys while everything else was smashed together in a low mush.

Just about every Church service is the same...vocals much louder than anything else.

Best Church for music (great teaching too) that I ever visited was Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church...basically Casting Crown's Church which explains things...

I feel kinda bad saying this to a Christian, but I have a Screamin Demon in the neck of my Alt8 guitar lol. A great combo as well

The last clip was better but the vocals are way louder than anything else.
I understand that this isn’t a rock club too, so there’s that.

Don't feel bad, its just a name. lol It is a super cool pickup–in both bridge and neck!

And I've played in tons of Churches with a Screamin Demon and Lil Screamin Demon. lol
