My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

Sometimes I feel like a Mockingbird, but I also keep feeling like, "Am I just craving one 'cause Slash looked good with one?". lol

I also thought about Biches before. Couldn't find one that had features I could sell myself on though.

For the sake of an argument (and 'cause I love ya!)

yeah i disagree with the fundamental basis of this thread

You will change your mind upon your return. WON'T YOU?! :angryfire

that guitar was something i would wanna play before i learned everything that i know now about guitars. For the tones i go for, i could find a much better-suited instrument for a way lower price than anything produced by Jackson.

Of course you could. And while your post stings as much as would having empty pockets in this recession, I shall continue schooling you moreover. Hrrmph.

Slim strat-shaped body?

'k.

Hot pickups that completely mask the guitar's natural tone?

IMO, the axe itself holds it's own here, believe or not. Part of the reason why it's so "select" in Jackson's line perhaps. :usa1:

Floyd Rose?

You could actually upgrade this part of the equation if you felt it was particularly "tone robbing".

Pass pass pass pass pass

Your lax in morals disgust me.

I'll play..............

Nice spread. I usually don't care for the debauchery of Les Pauls, but this layout is...cute?

Um...yeah. : private:

This thread sounds like a challenge! :friday:

That's the spirit! And spirits. :friday:

Fords are better than Chevy.

What game are we playing, now?

Chicken. Vroom Vroom.

Inlays are always good. :approve:

I win.... :nana:

Gibbo LP classic & Kramer '85 baretta RI

That's one of the most striking pics I've seen here thusfar, pal. :cool2:

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

If I accidentally picked a dorky 80's guitar like a black Jackson off the wall at GC, and someone snapped a picture of me doing so, I'd beat him to death, just so it wouldn't go public.

Then, I'd move over to the glass case that has the real guitars in it....and guess what, there's no Jacksons there! It's all Historic Gibson, Custom Shop Fender, and PRS. They left the Jacksons at the top row above the Ibanez and Schecter guitars, so the 14 year olds could gawk at it, but not get their broke grubby mitts on it! LOL

This is also why you won't see the Breedloves and Washburns mixed in with the Martins and Taylors.

J/K!!! Teh gearsnob in me jumped out like a troll! hahahaha

I thoroughly loved your post. It's ****ed up, but I can laugh too. :doh:

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

does it play like butter and sound huge like my mockingbird? i bet not:

*just 'cuz i've got a low quality camera phone doesn't mean the guitar's low quality*

Your Mock is hot. But, please...don't make excuses for your low quality axe. :cool2:

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

(his drugs are obviously better than mine)

Yep. I abuse the drug Soloista particularly. It induces within me a rush of speed that I feel I could never have achieved with anything else. :eyecrazy:

The only side effect is a bad taste for gaudy finishes. :dot:

 

[Jackson Distortion]

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

But of course, this is an extremely subjective matter. I don't think there is something to be won. We all have different tastes. This what makes this place so colorful.

QFT. Quilted. Flametops. Trems. Etc.

 

[Jackson Distortion]

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

One has to feel sorry for poor old Les Paul, being tied to Gibson when he obviously pined to play a Jackson.

QFT. Quite ****ing true.

Nice geetar, but my Tele would eat that! :friday:

That's what I like to hear. :rocket:

Good, because like Wah Wah with his bagging on Marshall stacks, I did it all tongue in cheek. I like all good pieces of gear.....that's the truth. One of my first good guitars was a San Dimas Charvel that would be worth a fortune today. And I'm looking forward to the SD interview with Grover Jackson too!

:friday:

 

[Jackson Distortion]

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

I'm glad the OP likes his guitar, but I'm not convinced I should swap.

Different beasts really. If you love the Jackson, you might very well dislike my Strat. In which case, you should keep yours, and I'll hang on to this one. Everyone wins!



Cheers........................................ wahwah

Great diplomatic post as always, sir. I salute you. :approve:

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

A famly pic but it's missin like two of my guitars

An 18-year old shouldn't have that many nice guitars. But you do. Enjoy. :14:

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

Lets put it this way then- it's a tone that inherently has little to offer other than a very "clean" (sterile) non colored platform for high gain pickups & amplifiers. It's not an issue with jackson in particular but ANY maple neck through/alder bodied guitar (carvin, some ESps, alot of BC Riches, etc) Low output pickups sound weak, tinny, and lifeless in them comparitively- EVEN in a great specimen with plenty of sustain and overtones (of which I've had two, one MIJ, one MIA). Metal guys pick them because they can go gain, effects, & output crazy without as much mud or a lack of clarity. And not to mention they play might speedily.

Tell 'em. :14:

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

My axe is better than your axe..... and thats when the fight started lol

So, how do you like the place since my veiled challenge began? :sword:

 

[Jackson Distortion]

Re: My Axe Is Better Than Yours...

I always thought the JB sounded like it was asleep.

I agree. Why is that?

I have Distortions in everything. Jazz in the neck in everything.

How are those in comparison to a 59 and JB combo?
