Re: Skid Row
I read Guitar World magazines years ago when Skid Row first came out, and there was no discussion of what they recorded with, but at the time Snake was using an Ibanez Iceman with an EMG 81, a PRS with HFS pickups, Scotti Hill was using Jacksons with JB's.
Recently there was an article floating around that said both Skid Row and White Lion used the same producer for their first albums, and he had them both use the SAME EMG equipped Steinberger with the volume and tone controls bypassed, with the same settings on the ADA-MP-1 preamp. So the first White Lion and Skid Row albums should sound identical to each other

Re: Skid Row
here's the article I referred to

I recall reading an old magazine that Skid Row was using custom made Spector guitars, which can be seen in each of the videos for Youth Gone Wild, 18 and Life and I Remember You. Pickups no one has any idea

Re: Skid Row
I always thought that sound (white lion, skid row) was due mostly because of the ada mp1 preamps they used.
That's why i picked one up back in the day. Don't have it anymore but that's no reason to stop playing that kind of music (whoops, ok i admit it, i like playing white lion songs).

Re: Skid Row
Back in the day, EVERYONE used the ADA MP-1, I'm looking to find one. There was one ad that had Kirk Hammett, Vito Bratta, Skid Row, Paul Gilbert, Reb Beach, anyone you can think of- using it, and many of them used the same patches. It wasn't the B.S. endorsee thing back them- they all admitted in interviews to using it.

Re: Skid Row
That MP-1 really nailed the Hot Rodded JCM-800 tone so popular in the 80's. I've seen a few on eBay selling for about $200.00
